# Intake Questions

Use Intake Questions to collect the details you need before a customer books a shoot.

When customers book through your booking page, they can answer custom questions as part of the booking flow. This helps you gather access details, special requests, and anything else your team should know in advance.

To get there, go to **Order Form** and click the **Intake Questions** tab, or use [this link](https://app.fotello.co/dashboard/order-form).

### Add or edit intake questions

Fotello includes some suggested questions by default. You can edit them, remove them, or add your own.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Enter your question**

Type the question you want customers to answer during booking.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Choose the field type**

Select the format that fits your question:

* Short Text
* Long Text
* Checkbox
* Dropdown
* Radio Button
* Numerical
* Date Picker
* Yes / No Toggle
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Add answer options if needed**

If you choose **Checkbox**, **Dropdown**, or **Radio Button**, enter the answer choices your customer can select.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Make it required**

Turn on **Required** if customers must answer the question before submitting the booking.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Save your changes**

Click **Save** when you're done.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Common questions to add

Here are a few questions photographers often use:

* **How will the photographer access the property?**
  * Examples: lock box code, SUPRA, gate code, or other access notes
* **Who will be present?**
  * Examples: agent, homeowner, or tenant
* **Finished basement?**
  * Good fit for a **Yes / No Toggle**
* **Neighborhood or community requests?**
* **Any special notes for the photographer?**
  * Examples: special requests, standout features, or anything else to know before arrival

### Example setup

You can create a **Checkbox** question for optional spaces or features.

**Question:** Want photos of these additional areas?

**Options:**

* Utility Room
* Attached Garage

This is useful when customers may want extra coverage but not every property includes the same spaces.
