The public signup page

Custom Signup Questions and Form Fields

Collect short answers, longer notes, or numbers with optional or required signup questions. Ask about dietary restrictions, sizes, or quantities and review private answers.

Ask exactly what you need at signup

Beyond the built-in fields, you can add up to 8 custom questions to any event. Answers are collected with the signup and appear next to each attendee on your dashboard, so day-of details live in one place instead of a follow-up email thread.

There are five question types:

  • Text for short answers like a t-shirt size or a student name.
  • Paragraph for longer answers like dietary restrictions or special requests.
  • Number for counts and quantities, like how many chairs someone can bring.
  • Multiple choice: choose one for picking a single answer from a list you define, like a meal preference or arrival window.
  • Multiple choice: choose several for picking any number of answers from a list, like which sessions someone plans to attend.

Each question can be optional or required, and each gets its own placeholder text to show guests the kind of answer you expect.

Practical limits and where answers go
