### Email Settings

You need to be careful with the settings in this section. The content edited here will be added to the email (with short-code) to send to the admin, employee, or customer if needed. You need to add information fields to the content using the select-box just above the content-box.

#### Notes:

* The **email** field is only required when **the store owner allows a free booking of a service**. Because it's free, customers do not have to go through the checkout step, email will be required to create orders for customers.
* With **first name** and **last name** fields, you can select or not. These 2 fields also help create the customer name in the order.

### How to add custom question content to email?

To add custom question text to an email, use the ***{custom\_question}*** short-code to insert it in the email body.

You can also find this short-code by clicking on the **Email variables** link in the top right corner.

## Add custom question to the booking

Please go to **Services** -> **Add service**/**Edit service** -> Scroll down to **Custom Question Forms** -> Select the form to use for service booking.
