Use the Email & Text Marketing feature to send forms for your customers to fill out. The different campaign types you can select allow for a variety of different use cases for sending forms. For example, you can use the before-visit campaign type to send customers the required forms before their appointment to streamline the check-in process at your business. You could also use the after-visit campaign type to send a feedback form to your customers after they finish their appointment.

Prerequisites: This feature requires at least one Form template created in your account and an Email or Text Marketing plan.
