Custom Questions | OneCal Docs

You can customize the questions which every booker needs to answer when they book a meeting with you through your booking link.

To do so, navigate to Booking Links > Manage from the left navigation menu, then find the booking link you want to customize from the list and click on it. Once on the booking link settings, navigate to the Advanced tab and you should see the "Questions" section.

The Email Address and Full Name fields are required by default and unchangeable because they are always needed to create the booking.
