Contact Forms

Overview

A contact form allows you to generate a contact within the database directly from a form on your website.

Notes

• When a contact is generated from a contact form, the contact's type is set to "Lead".
• The "Next Action" date on a new contact is set to 1 day in the future. Therefore new contacts will appear in the assigned employee's list of contacts awaiting attention.
• New contacts generated by a form are initially unassigned. You can change this by either manually assigning contacts, or by updating the "Assignment Type" setting from "Contacts > Options".
• You can elect to make newly generated contacts "public" or "private" by editing the "Make New Contacts Public?" option from "Contacts > Options". A "public" contact is accessible to all employees, while a "private" contact is only accessible to administrators and the employee who owns the contact.
