How to create a Web Form?

The Web Forms feature lets you capture new leads online and add them automatically to your CRM. You can design a Web Form in the CRM and add the code to your website. Contacts entering their details in the Web Form will be automatically added to your CRM.

Web Forms work by automatically setting up a Web Transaction that will create a new Company Account, Contact, and Activity when the form is submitted online. Each Web Transaction can include multiple actions to process the data of your new inquiry. So, as well as creating an Account, you can edit the Web Transaction to trigger a Task or a new Opportunity.

Web Forms are included in the Advanced Marketing tool.

Add Web Form

To create a Web Form, go to Settings > Integrations and open Forms. Initially, the page will be blank, so click + Add to create a new form.

Various field types can be added to your Web Form. Drag and drop them into the layout. Remove fields by clicking on the section and selecting the “X” in the top-right corner. Every field type has their own specific settings that will show once a field of that type is selected. For example Text input:

Add a paragraph of text to provide instructions or legal disclaimers. Use this field to include terms and conditions, privacy policy links, or submission guidelines.

Submit Button

Submits the form data to the CRM. Edit the button label to match your form’s purpose, such as "Request a Quote" or "Sign Up Now."

Dropdown List

Add predefined choices, such as Sector, Account Type, or Country. Ideal for structured inputs where users select from a fixed list.

Checkbox

Use checkboxes for fields like Newsletter Subscription, Terms Agreement, or Decision Maker status.

Text Input

Allows users to enter short text responses. Commonly used for Name, Email, Phone Number, and Company Name fields.

TextArea Input

A larger text field suitable for open-ended responses, such as Comments, Special Requests, or Project Descriptions.

File Upload

Allows users to upload documents, such as CVs for job applications or proof of identity for registrations.

Divider

Adds a visual separator between sections. You can adjust its color to match the background if you prefer spacing over visible dividers.

Once your form is complete, publish it by copying either the JavaScript or iFrame code into your website’s HTML. You may need assistance from your web developer.

Note

The form inherits styling from your website. If you need to override these styles, consult your web developer.

Once live, the Web Form will collect submissions and automatically add the details to your CRM.

In your CRM, new Contacts appear under Accounts. When opening an Account, you will see the submission recorded under Activities.
