The Date Picker
Note, this page is just a demo. None of the forms below will actually send any emails so feel free to play around with them.
Basic Date Picker
Add a new field to your contact form and set the field type to input. When the field is set to input, a toggle called Enable Date/Time Picker will be visibile. You can then set the Picker Type to Date.
Only allow dates after today
Set Minimum Date Type to Rolling and set Minimum Date Rolling to 0. The number zero (0) always represents the current date so setting it zero (0) will always make the minimum date the current date.
Minimum Date (Hard)
Once you’ve toggled Enable Minimum Date/Time to On, set Minimum Date Type to Hard. You can then enter a single date in the Minimum Date field. The date must be entered in YYYY-MM-DD format.
The example field above has a hard minimum date of August 15th, 2021 (2021-08-15).
Minimum Date (Rolling)
Once you’ve toggled Enable Minimum Date/Time to On, set Minimum Date Type to Rolling. You can then use the range slider to set the number of days before the current date (negative integers) or after the current date (positive integers) that should be used for the minimum date.
The example field above has a rolling minimum date of seven days BEFORE the current date (set to -7) .
Maximum Date (Hard)
Once you’ve toggled Enable Maximum Date/Time to On, set Maximum Date Type to Hard. You can then enter a single date in the Maximum Date field. The date must be entered in YYYY-MM-DD format.
The example field above has a hard Maximum date of January 1st, 2022 (2022-01-01).
Maximum Date (Rolling)
Once you’ve toggled Enable Maximum Date/Time to On, set Maximum Date Type to Rolling. You can then use the range slider to set the number of days before the current date (negative integers) or after the current date (positive integers) that should be used for the maximum date.
The example field above has a rolling maximum date of seven days AFTER the current date (set to 7).
Disable Specific Days of Week
Under the Disable Days option, select the days of the week you’d like to disable in the calendar.
In the above example, Saturdays and Sundays have been disabled in the calendar.
Disable Specific Dates
Under Disable Specific Dates, enter a comma-separated list of dates to exclude from the calendar. Dates must be entered in the following format: YYYY-MM-DD.
In the example above, the 7th of every month in 2022 has been disabled.
Enable Date Range
In the Select Type dropdown, select Range of Dates from the list of options.
Select Multiple, non-consecutive dates
In the Select Type dropdown, select Multiple from the list of options.
This option also enables the Max Number of Dates field where you can choose how many dates the user is able to select.
The above example lets you select up to 3 dates.
Localization
In the Localization select box, change the option to the desired localization. This will affect the language the calendar is displayed in as well as the organization of the calendar itself.
The above example is set to Polish. Ładny!
Custom Date Format
In the Date Format field, use date tokens to change how the date displays in the field when a user selects a date. Compare the date in this field to the date shown other examples on this page.
In the above example, the format is set to l F J, Y
Custom Design
Each instance of a date/time picker can be customized to match your theme or design. User the Design tab, in the Layout toggle you’ll find color options to style the picker.

Absolutely. You can have as many as you want on the same page. You can have as many as you want on the same form too, if you’d like.
