From SimplyBook.me

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.

4. Navigate to Manage -> Intake forms or Manage -> Client fields (or enable one or both features if needed) and create File Uploader - Google Drive form. Make it obligatory or not depending on your needs.

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.
