The Simple Online Enquiry form lets you easily add a form to your website, email signature and social profiles, so your customers can send you a booking or quote request. Requests sent by customers will arrive in the ServiceM8 Inbox. When you convert the inbox message into a Job, all the information entered by the customer is pre-filled into the Job Card so you don't have to re-type or copy/paste anything!

To get started, go to Account > Features & Integrations, and activate the **Simple Online Enquiry** add-on.

## Customers complete the enquiry form

## Addresses are auto-completed

This helps prevent customers providing incomplete or mis-typed addresses.

## Customers can submit photos or documents with their enquiry

Having more information up-front helps you to understand the work that needs to be done in order to give accurate quotes/estimates.

## Customising the Simple Online Enquiry booking form

You can customize the placeholder text for the "Job Description" field in the online booking form. The default placeholder text is "Enter a description of the work you would like done". If you would like to request specific details from the customer (e.g. "please provide model/serial number" or "please specify your preferred booking time"), this is a great place to ask for them.

To change the text, go to **Settings > Preferences > Quotes & Estimates > Online Booking**.
