How do I add a working lead form to my website so submissions become contacts?
Websites built in Votel can use a Votel form. When someone fills it out, a contact is created in your account. Pages built by the AI often include a placeholder form that does nothing, so replace it with a real one.
- Go to Forms and create a form from a template, such as Contact us.
- Match the button color to your site and edit the fields, for example keep only name, email and phone and remove the message box.
- Publish the form.
- In the website builder, delete the placeholder form, add a form element and choose your form.
- Link each button on the page to the form (search for the form when setting the link), or to an anchor link on the page where the form sits.
- Publish the website.
Each form has a setting for where to send people after they submit, for example a page where they can check availability or pick a date. That way you capture the lead first and still let them continue.
A form submission trigger can also start a workflow for the contacts who fill it out, such as an email sequence.
