OnceHub allows you to send booking confirmation data to the redirect page via URL parameters. Every time a booking is successfully scheduled on your Booking page, the Booking form submission data and information about the booking that was scheduled will be converted into key-value pairs (KVPs) and appended to the redirect URL.
This feature can be used to create a custom confirmation page, enable client-side integrations, or enrich Customer data profiles, among other applications. Learn more about use cases for redirecting booking confirmation data

- Booking form submission data
- Booking data created when scheduling

The following table contains the parameter name and description of the fields sent:

Booking data created when scheduling
Booking data that is created when a new booking is scheduled will be added as URL parameters and sent to the redirect page.
The following table contains the parameter name and description of the fields sent:
bookingPage
The Customer-facing name of the Booking page used to make the booking.
subject
The name of the Service or Subject as defined in the Booking form.
creationTime
The date and time when the booking was created, in UTC.

The following constraints are important to keep in mind when redirecting booking confirmation data:
- Booking confirmation data will only be sent to the redirect page when a booking is scheduled (not canceled, rescheduled, or reassigned).
- OnceHub does not impose length limits for fields passed in the redirect URL. If the length of the query string exceeds the URL character limit, the URL will be truncated and some data may not be sent.
- Booking confirmation data will not be sent to the redirect page if you are using a CRM record ID to skip or prepopulate the booking form, because this data is encrypted.
