Introduction
Create forms and service agreements, and automate data collection and workflows with over 11 response options and 20 client fields that pre-populate client data fields once submitted. You can send forms to clients from the client details page or set up a workflow to automatically send forms to clients once an appointment is created.

Create a form/service agreement template
Go to Settings, then Form templates and click + New template.
Then you can select from a New blank template and a Service agreement template to start building your form.
You can preview the Service agreement template, and then select it to add sections and questions.
Build your form with sections and questions
Once you have selected a template, you can start by giving it a name, such as 'Intake form', or 'New client form'. Your clients will be able to see the title of your template in their browser.
The left side includes the sections and questions that can be dragged onto the form.
Statement
Statement
A statement is a block of text that does not need to be answered, so clients cannot add details here. It is purely for displaying a message to your client. You may want to use Titles and descriptions to explain why you are collecting such personal information or provide an introduction to a series of questions.
Text
Short answer/Paragraph
A single line input field for clients to write a short response
Paragraph
A larger input field for clients to write a longer response
Choices
Checkboxes
Create a list of options that the client needs to select from, and add an 'other' option that enables the client to enter their own option. You can use this list for the client to indicate responses that apply to them, such as areas the client needs support with, or use it as a way to confirm the client has read and agreed to a policy or fee schedule.
Dropdown
Create a list of options that appear as a dropdown list and ask the client to select one option from the provided list. Use dropdowns to categorise preferences or how a client is managed, such as asking if the client is self, plan or agency managed.
Multiple choice
Create a list of options and let the client select multiple options from the list. You can use this when wanting a client to respond to a question where only one answer is necessary.
Attachements
File upload
Ask clients to upload a document or image up to 10MB in size.
Image
You can upload and display images in your forms if you need to visually explain something to your clients. There is no response for this question type - just view only.
Other
Date
Ask clients to select the date, which may refer to a point in time you ask about.
Linear scale
A slideable line with different points can be used as a pain scale, asking clients to slide from 1 to 5, or 1 to 10 to indicate the level of pain experienced.
Signature
A simple signature option where clients can sign the form.
Yes/No
An easy way to gather a yes/no answer to a question.
Calculation
A Schedule of Supports/Fee Schedule can be added to customise hours, rate and total support fee along with service title and descriptions.
Client details
You can ask clients to provide the following personal details and upon submission of these details, the client details section will automatically pre-fill! This means no double handling of information. These client details include:

Workflow automation
Set required questions
You can make certain questions required, which ensures that clients cannot submit the form until a response to the question is provided. You can do this by toggling the required switch in the bottom right of each section.
π Note: All question types can be duplicated except for personal details questions that update the client details section in Splose. That's because a client can only enter their personal details on a single form once (otherwise we wouldn't know which response to update!).
Duplicate questions
If you plan on asking similar questions, then you can use the duplicate option to duplicate questions, saving your time! This button is located in the bottom right, next to the required questions switch.
Delete questions
You can easily delete questions, and we always prompt a confirmation in case you accidentally click the delete button. This is also located in the bottom right, next to the duplicate button.
Drag and drop questions
While creating your template, you can drag and drop questions to change the position within any section and change the position of responses in certain question types.
Create your form
When you're ready and happy with your template, click Create.
Duplicate templates
We created a duplicate feature that allows you to create a copy of your template without having to design another template from scratch. You can duplicate a form by clicking Actions, then Duplicate.
Send your forms to clients
There are two ways you can send your form to clients - one is automated and one is manual.
Attach a form template to an appointment template (Automated)
You can automate your workflow by including forms in your appointment templates. The recommended method is to go to Settings, Appointment templates and view an existing confirmation template or create a new appointment confirmation template. You must make sure to have multiple confirmation templates set up - one that will be used for appointments for new clients (such as initial consultations) and one for returning clients (such as standard consultations) because you will typically use online forms to help onboard new clients. Hence, you only want to ask your clients intake form questions for the first time you see them, and not upon repeat visits.
Once you have two templates set up, edit your new client confirmation template and attach the form to the message.
For the SMS message, select Form from the placeholder options after your text.
The SMS preview will look like this.
For the email message, select Form from the placeholder options after your text.
The Email preview will look like this.
Now that you have created a template, you'll need to attach it to the correct services, in Settings > Services and select services that you have for new clients. Then, head to notifications and select your template under Confirmation notification.
Now, your clients will receive a secure form link in their confirmation messages.
Send forms to clients via a secure link from the clients
If a client is unable to find their communication messages, or you want to send a quick follow-up, you can copy the secure form link and send it to your client.
To do this, search for the client you wish to send a form to, then select the forms tab, and on the page select New form.
Now, select from the list of templates, associate an appointment or leave blank, and choose to pre-fill client details or not, then click Create.
Under actions, you can then select the three dots and view the form, regardless of whether the form is incomplete or completed. You can also copy the link and share it or open in a new tab. You can modify the form and save progress at any time.
If you click View, you can select to email the form, download it as a PDF, copy the link, and archive the form.
Once the form has been completed, you will see the date and time it was completed.
