Hi I am looking to purchase the form builder, I build websites and I have a customer that needs to have a form where his customers can select a preset day and a time where he is available and pay for it in advance to have a session with him and only if they pay for the appointment it can be successfully booked. Is there a booking appointment setting prebuild or is there a way to build the logic? with JS or other tools prebuild settings or tools?
We have a specific use case that seems to challenge the capabilities of most form builders. Here is what we need:
Form 1: Standard fields and multiple file uploads (up to 4 files, max 25mb each). User information fields must be dynamically autopopulated and not editable. We can do JS or shortcodes or similar to pass user data into the form if Deftform can receive it and send it with the submission. It doesn’t have to be displayed to the user but needs to be sent with the form.
Form 2: Our backend processing of Form 1 returns a cost for the user’s request. We need to send the user a form with their request and the costs, which they approve or reject. So information in Form 2 needs to be populated by the data from our backend.
How would you recommend doing this with DeftForms?
For "Form 1", you could create a few hidden fields and have them auto-populated. This can be done by passing the data via the URL: https://help.deftform.com/nice-to-know/pre-fill-fields-via-url-parameter
For "Form 2", you could then do your logic in your backend and use a pre-built form to be auto-populated with other data. You can also create a "Paragraph / Text" element to have dynamic data, like the price and maybe name.
All information regarding this can be found in the help article I mentioned. So, if I understood your request correctly, you can do this with Deftform.
Q: Can a hidden field send the URL of the page where the form is embedded❓
Would it be possible to pass information in a hidden field from which URL page the query was sent on which form is embedded in webpage?
The point is that the same form is used on different subpages and the information about the URL of the solution/product the query concerns is important.

I've never used Salesforce, but if you can add custom HTML (with executable JavaScript) then it should be possible to integrate it.
