Other languages:

Enable this custom feature to allow your clients to upload signed documents or other information directly to your Google drive account.



Please note!

  • This functionality is not fully supported in the admin application. If you are using it and need to create bookings from there please make file fields as optional as it is not currently possible to upload files in the application. However you will be able to see files names in already made appointments.
  • The uploaded file should be less than 5Mb size and cannot be archive or executable one.



How to use

1. Enable this option on your Custom features page -> Adding more to the Booking Website category.

And, for sure, you will be able to manually upload the files during the new booking or client record creation/editing from admin side if necessary.

7. If you are also using SOAP with Encryption custom feature you can also enable attaching the file in the SOAP feature settings on your Custom Features page.
