What are Forms in Automation ?

Forms Overview

Forms are used to collect information from users. They may serve purposes like providing access to an asset, event registration, or newsletter signups.

Once a user submits a form, their details are saved, and the collected data becomes part of the Leads list. This information can later be utilized in the Campaign screen for targeting or follow-up.

Key Metrics:

  • Total Submissions: Displays how many times the form has been submitted.

  • Submitted data is automatically added to the Leads screen. Leads who submit any form will be grouped under the form they interacted with.


1. Creating a Form

  • Step 1: Go to the Attachments menu → Click on the Forms screen → Select the Add function.

  • Step 2: The system opens the Create Form screen, where the form builder can be used. Fill in the required details and click Save to proceed to the next step.

Field Descriptions:

  • Source: Choose a traffic source such as Google, Facebook, Bing, etc. You can also manually add new options.

  • Status: Assign a customer status when the form is submitted. This will be recorded in the Leads screen.

  • Responsible (Assignee): Assign the person responsible for this form. Assignees are selected from the Staff screen.

  • Language: Choose the form’s language (e.g., English or Vietnamese). This currently only affects display and will be enhanced in future updates.

  • Submit button text: Set the label for the form’s Submit button.

  • Display thank you message: Enter the message shown after successful submission.

  • Redirect to another website: Define a URL to redirect the user to once the form is submitted successfully.

  • Notification settings: Choose who should receive alerts when the form is submitted.

    • You may select:

      • Specific Staff Members

      • Staff Members with Roles

      • Responsible person assigned to the form

  • Auto mark as public: If enabled, Leads from this form will be visible to all staff members.

  • Allow duplicate lead to be inserted into database:

    • If enabled, duplicate Leads are allowed.

    • If disabled, the system will prevent duplication and use the following settings:

      • Prevent duplicate on field: Define the field used to detect duplicates.

      • Field (leave blank to track duplicates only by 1 field): Add an optional extra field for duplicate detection.

  • Create duplicate lead data as task and assign to responsible staff member:

    • If enabled, the system creates a task for the responsible staff member to handle duplicate Leads.

    • If disabled, duplicate Leads will neither be saved nor processed.


2. Configuring the Form

  • Step 3: After saving, you’ll be redirected to a detailed configuration screen.

Tabs & Functional Areas:

  • Form Builder Tab: Use this section to design the structure of the form by adding required fields.

  • Form Information & Setup Tab: Displays and allows editing of general form configuration and information.

  • Integration Code Tab: Contains embeddable code for sharing the form on websites. The width and height can be adjusted to fit your layout.
