Routing Forms

Build a multi-step qualification form that routes respondents to the right booking link — or a custom message — based on their answers.

A routing form sits in front of your booking links and decides which one a respondent should land on. Instead of guessing which of your five booking links to share with a prospect, you share a single URL. They answer a few questions and land in exactly the right meeting type automatically.

When to use routing forms

Routing forms are most useful when:

  • You have multiple booking link types and the right one depends on the prospect (e.g. a short intro call for startups, a longer discovery session for enterprise)
  • You want to qualify leads before they can book — if a company has fewer than 5 employees, send a message; otherwise route to discovery
  • You want one shareable URL that works for a mixed audience instead of managing separate links for each segment

Creating a form

Path: /calendarRouting Forms tabNew form (or go directly to /settings/routing-forms).

Fields

Add questions that determine how the respondent is routed. Supported field types:

TypeUse case
TextOpen-ended answer (company name, job title)
TextareaLonger free-text response
SelectSingle choice from a dropdown (team size, industry)
CheckboxBoolean yes/no

Mark fields as required if a missing answer should block submission.

Routes

Routes are evaluated in order — first match wins. Each route has:

  • Conditions — one or more field checks (field + operator + value). Multiple conditions within a route are AND-joined
  • Action — either route to a booking link or show a custom message

Operators available on Select / Checkbox fields: equals, not equals Operators available on Text / Textarea fields: contains, not contains, equals, not equals

Route action types:

ActionWhat happens
Route to booking linkRespondent lands on the chosen link's slot picker, pre-filled with their name and email if provided
Show messageA custom message is shown instead of a booking UI (useful for disqualified leads)
External URLRespondent is redirected off-site to a URL you specify (e.g. a HubSpot landing page, your pricing page)
HubSpot lookupLook up the matched contact in HubSpot, find their owner, route to that owner's booking link. See CRM Integrations.
Salesforce lookupSame pattern, against Salesforce — looks up Lead/Contact/Account/Opportunity and routes to the SFDC owner's link

Fallback action

If no route condition matches, the fallback fires. Default: "Thank you. We will be in touch." You can change this to any message or route it to a catch-all booking link.

Sharing a form

Each form gets a public URL: workestra.app/form/<id>. Share this URL anywhere you would otherwise share a booking link.

Embed snippet

Routing forms can also be embedded inline on your own site, the same way booking links can. On the form's settings page, the Share & Embed card has a snippet tab — copy-paste HTML that mounts the form inside your page. See Embed Widget for the loader script details. Both forms and links use the same embed.js runtime.

Pre-filling form answers in the URL

You can pre-populate answers via URL params: /form/<id>?a1=Acme%20Corp&a2=50-100&autofill=true. The autofill=true flag auto-submits the form on page load if all required fields are pre-filled — useful for routing-from-existing-tools workflows where your CRM already knows the answers.

Responses page + CSV export

Path: /calendar/routing-forms/<id>/responses. Lists every submission with the answers, the time, the route taken, and (if the route landed on a booking link) the resulting booking. Filter by date range, by route, or by destination link. CSV export is on the toolbar.

Useful for outreach attribution and conversion analysis: how many submissions ended up booking, on which link, with which answers.

The form page does not require authentication. Anyone with the URL can fill it out and be routed to the appropriate booking link (or message). The booking link they land on keeps its own access controls — if you've set a password on the link, it still applies after routing.

Routing logic example

A "Lead Qualification" form with one question — "Company size":

Company size answerRoute
1–5Show message: "We focus on growth-stage companies. Check back when you reach 10 people."
6–20Route → Intro Call (15 min)
21–50Route → Discovery Call (45 min, pre-meeting form)
50+Route → Architecture Workshop (90 min, requires approval)
(no match)Fallback → Route → Intro Call

Disabling a form

Use the Active toggle on the Routing Forms tab or in the form settings. While disabled, the public URL returns "this form is no longer active." Existing bookings made through the form are unaffected.

Mirror form (queued)

Re-using a form schema from HubSpot, Marketo, or Pardot — so you don't rebuild your existing qualification form inside Workestra — is on the roadmap as mirror form. The submit handler will accept the upstream form's payload and run our routing logic. Not shipped yet.
