    Creating Lead Capture Forms

    Lead capture forms are designed to convert website visitors into contacts in your CRM. A well-designed lead capture form collects essential information while keeping friction low to maximize submissions.

    Building Your Form

    Step 1:Navigate to Sites > Forms and click "Create New Form."
    Step 2:Choose a blank form or select a template designed for lead capture.
    Step 3:Drag the fields you need onto the form canvas. For lead capture, start with name, email, and phone.
    Step 4:Configure each field by clicking on it to set the label, placeholder text, and whether it is required.
    Step 5:Add a submit button and customize its text (e.g., "Get My Free Quote" or "Book Now").
    Step 6:Save your form and configure the post-submission action.

    Custom Fields

    You can add any custom field from your CRM to your forms:

    • Text fields for open-ended responses.
    • Dropdown menus for predefined options like service type or budget range.
    • Date pickers for scheduling preferences.
    • File upload fields for documents or images.
    • Hidden fields to pass data like UTM parameters or referral sources.

    Conditional Logic

    Show or hide form fields based on previous answers to create a dynamic experience:

    • If a visitor selects "Commercial" as their project type, show additional fields for company name and project size.
    • If a visitor selects "Residential," show a simpler set of fields.
    • Use conditions to skip irrelevant questions and keep the form concise.

    Multi-step Forms

    Break longer forms into multiple steps to improve completion rates:

    • Step 1 collects basic contact info (name, email).
    • Step 2 asks qualifying questions (budget, timeline, project type).
    • Step 3 shows a summary and confirmation.
    • Progress bars show visitors how far along they are in the form.

    Tip: Place your most important fields on the first step of a multi-step form. Even if a visitor abandons the form partway through, you will still have their basic contact information for follow-up.
