Group-specific submission forms?

Is it possible to create group-specific submission forms in addition to having a universal form where users choose which group they want to submit their event to from a dropdown menu? So groups that would like to link to their own dedicated form from their website can do so?

Hi Jen – yes! Only a few schools have done this, but it’s definitely possible. My favorite example was a university that required everyone to advertise their dissertation defenses, so they made a special form just for that, renaming the fields and having additional help text specifically for that audience.

As long as it’s:

  • a normal HTML form
  • on some page under the calendar subdomain
  • that submits to the same endpoint
  • and loads the same “public” widget up top (FYI in LW3 we’re renaming that to “submissions,” though it’ll be backwards-compatible) to load the captcha JS + populate any event type checkboxes or other variables

it should work. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to have our team help with building anything out, otherwise anyone comfortable with HTML editing could probably piece it together on your dev site. :+1:
