Overview
The PhotoBiz Form & Contract Builder allows you to create forms for lead capture, client questionnaires, contracts, orders, and other business needs. Each form submission is saved in your PhotoBiz account and connected to a contact record.
Because form submissions are stored in the Contacts area, every PhotoBiz form must include an email address field. The email address is used to identify the person submitting the form and connect their submission history to their contact profile.
Can the Email Field Be Removed?
No. PhotoBiz forms require an email address field.
The email field cannot be removed or made optional because form submissions are stored in your Contacts database. The email address acts as the unique identifier that connects each form submission to the correct contact.
This helps PhotoBiz organize client information, form history, and related activity in one place.
Why Is an Email Address Required?
An email address is required because PhotoBiz uses it to:
Create or update a contact in your Contacts database
Connect the form submission to the correct contact
Keep client submissions organized
Help you follow up with leads or clients
Prevent submissions from being disconnected from a contact record
Without an email address, the system would not have a reliable way to associate the submission with a specific person in your account.
What If I Do Not Need the Client’s Email Address?
Even if your form is not being used for email marketing or lead follow-up, the email field is still required for submission tracking inside PhotoBiz.
If the email address is not important for your workflow, you can still design the rest of your form around the information you need to collect. For example, you can use additional fields to collect details such as name, phone number, session type, appointment preferences, or custom responses.
If you want to make the form feel simple for clients, keep the form short and only include the fields you need beyond the required email address.
You can also rename nearby form content or add instructions to explain why the email address is needed. For example, you may let clients know their email address is used to confirm their submission or help you follow up if needed.
