Example Use Cases​

Limited-Time Offer Form​

Suppose you have a limited-time offer that is only available for a specific duration.

You can create a form to collect orders and use form scheduling to ensure that the form is only accessible during the offer period.

Set the start and end dates and times to match the offer's duration.

Event Registration Form​

For an event registration form, you can use form scheduling to open the registration period at a certain date and time and close it when registration ends.

Users who visit the form after the registration period has ended will see a custom message informing them that registration is closed.
