# Handyman visit requests

A handyman form for your website and the table its responses land in. It asks for the address, the tasks, photos, a preferred date and whether the visitor wants hourly, half-day or full-day help, with hours for hourly work. Each response becomes one request you follow from new to scheduled to done or closed.

## Use it when

Use it when a handyman wants visitors to describe the jobs, send photos and say whether they want hourly, half-day or full-day help, so the visit can be planned and priced with the small-job minimum. Add it from the Sites editor's Forms panel or the sidebar's Add; it creates a new Visit requests table, or writes into one you already have when that table holds the same fields.

## Use something else when

An urgent repair that needs an emergency route is Service requests. A business that does not charge by time can use the general Quote request form.

## What it adds or changes

- **Website**: Handyman visit form
- **App**: Visit requests

Connect your calculator in Store before publishing

It brings these with it:

- [Visit requests](/docs/features/data/presets/handyman-visit-requests-table)

## Settings

| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Form name | The form's title as visitors see it; every other line of wording is reworded later from the form's settings. | Request a visit |
| Response workspace | Where responses are kept: a new Visit requests table, or an existing table of this business that holds the form's fields. |  |

## How it works

It runs its own built-in automation, called Handyman visit requests. Tell staff about a new response: read a new response, choose the staff destinations and email its full details. Empty recipient groups send nobody.

## Example

Fix-It Fran, a fictional sole trader, adds the form and connects her handyman calculator. A visitor asks to mount a TV and hang shelves, picks By the hour and 2.5 hours, and sees the price with Fran's minimum applied. The request lands as `new`; Fran moves it to `scheduled` once a time is agreed and `done` after the visit.

## Limits

Hours are asked only for hourly work and are the visitor's estimate. The minimum is applied by your calculator, not by the form. A preferred date is not a booking. No visitor gets an automatic reply. Staff notices come from the table's own automation, which starts paused until recipients are set.
