The ServiceM8 online booking form can be used as a standalone form, added to your website, or can be added to your facebook page.
You can also use it in conjunction with a text message template to text a link to your customers asking them to complete the form.
The form entries appear in your ServiceM8 inbox and you can then create a job card directly from the enquiry. ServiceM8 includes all of the information on the form in your job card, so you don’t have to re-type any of the customer details.
This can help you streamline your enquiry process and presents a professional approach to your customers.
