# Open House Booking Page Template > An open house as a finished booking page: 60 minutes, in person, Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 to 16:00, a Group meeting with ten spots per time and the spots left shown, and one question, the number of people coming. A Real estate template in the new Vonza Scheduling, “Open house”: a group meeting. Part of the new Vonza Scheduling. Included in every Vonza plan, 14-day free trial. ## What an open house is and who books it An open house is a set window during which anyone can drop by a property for sale. Agents used to run it as an open door; a booking page turns it into timed slots, so the agent knows how many people to expect in each hour, has every visitor’s name and email afterwards, and can follow up with the ones who seemed keen. This template is a Group meeting: several people book the same hour with one host. It sets ten spots per time with the spots left shown, in person, on weekends from 10:00 to 16:00 in the property’s time zone, and asks one question, “Number of people”. Narrow the hours to the one weekend of the open house with a date override and it is ready to publish. ### Who books it - Estate agents running open houses on new listings. - Developers showing a show home to many buyers in a weekend. - Private sellers who want names and emails for every visitor. - Letting agents holding a viewing day for a popular rental. ## What the template sets up Exactly what the catalogue creates when you pick this template, as the app sets it. Every item stays editable. - **Meeting type**: Group. Several people book the same time with one host. The template sets 10 spots per time and shows the spots left; change the number in Rules (1 to 1,000). - **Lengths**: 60 minutes. Each length can carry its own price, and a meeting can offer up to 12 lengths from 5 minutes to 24 hours. - **Where**: In person: add your address in the editor; bookers see it in the confirmation. Add up to 11 places and let bookers choose. - **Hours**: Saturday and Sunday, 10:00 to 16:00, in your platform's time zone. Bookers see the times in their own zone unless you lock the page to yours, which suits in-person meetings. - **Questions**: name, email as fixed fields, then one optional question: “Number of people” (short answer). Add up to 30 questions of 13 types, make any required, or let Vonza AI suggest some. - **Rules**: 4 hours' minimum notice, no buffers before or after, no daily cap, and bookers may cancel or reschedule from their email. Change any of them in the Rules panel. - **Look**: The template’s own accent colour and cover photo, with your logo once you add one. Pick one of 16 colour pairs or your brand colour in Design. - **Description**: The page opens with “Drop by the open house.” Rewrite it in your own words. ## What to change first A template is a starting point. These are the four settings most sellers change before they publish this page. - **Spots per hour**: Ten spots per hour is the template’s default. Set “Spots per time” to the number of parties the home can take at once, from 1 to 1,000, and keep “Show spots left” on so visitors see when an hour is nearly full. The length stays unpriced. - **The property address**: Put the property’s address on the In person location and tick “Show before booking”. Lock the time zone in Rules so out-of-town buyers see local times, and add “Additional information” about parking. - **Reminders and the follow-up**: Keep the confirmation, add a text reminder the morning of the open house from your SMS allowance once Text reminders is on, and a follow-up after the end asking whether the visitor wants a private viewing. - **One weekend only**: Replace the weekend hours with a date override for the open-house dates, or set a Date range booking window, so the page shows only that weekend. Start times every 60 minutes keep the slots on the hour. ## How to publish and share it From the template to a live booking page people can open, in four steps. 1. **Pick the template**: Templates are part of the new Vonza Scheduling: open it from the Scheduling row marked New in your Vonza admin, start a new meeting and choose Template, then “Open house”. The meeting opens in the editor with everything above in place, and nothing is public until you publish it. 2. **Preview, fix, publish**: Preview the page as Desktop or Phone, work through the “Fix these first” checklist, then Publish. The page lives at /book/open-house on your Vonza site; the link ending is yours to change, with a warning that old links break. 3. **Share the page**: The Share dialog gives you the booking link and a QR code, Embed as an Inline frame, a Popup widget or Popup text on any website, One-time links that book once and then stop working, and a button for your Link in bio page. Mark the meeting Featured to show it first on your /book directory, or Secret to keep it off the directory. 4. **Turn on New booking pages**: Bookers see the new booking page once the platform owner turns on “New booking pages” in Booking settings › General. Until then a /book link to an existing meeting opens the classic booking page. Switching on later keeps every booking and manage link. ## Automations that fit this page Scheduling › Automations runs steps when something happens to a booking: 16 triggers, steps such as emails, texts, tags, lists, webhooks and course enrolment, up to 20 steps each. These three fit this meeting. - **Count the visitors**: Trigger “New booking”, then “Email the host” with the running list, and “Tag the contact” with the listing’s name for follow-up. - **Offer a private viewing**: Trigger “After the meeting ends”, wait a day, then “Send a booking link” for your Property viewing page to everyone who came. - **Feed your CRM**: Trigger “New booking”, then “Send a webhook” so your CRM or a Zapier, Make or n8n recipe gets each visitor; HubSpot and Mailchimp connect directly on Integrations.

As many as “Spots per time” allows, from 1 to 1,000; the template sets ten. The page can show the spots left, and one email address can book a given time only once. ### Can I limit the page to one weekend? Yes. Add date overrides for the open-house dates and clear the weekly hours, or set the booking window to a Date range. Outside those dates the page shows no times. ### Will I get every visitor’s details? Yes. Every booker becomes a contact in your Vonza CRM with the booking on their record, and Bookings can export the list to CSV. Connect HubSpot or Mailchimp and the contacts go there too. ### Can the open house be run by two agents? A Group meeting has one host. For two agents, create two meetings with different hours, or a Collective meeting where bookers see only the times both agents are free. ### Can I embed the page on the listing? Yes. The Share dialog gives you an Inline embed, a Popup widget behind a floating button, or Popup text that opens from a link, plus a QR code for the board outside the property. ### Is this page live for buyers today? Templates belong to the new Vonza Scheduling. Buyers see the new booking page once the platform owner turns on “New booking pages” in Booking settings › General.
