Turn a protected public form into an owned lead
Capture forms are a public boundary. Ask only for information the team needs, validate it before storage, protect uploads, and give the visitor a clear result. Accepted submissions can create leads and emit workflow events.
Before you start
- A safe staging workspace.
- Required form fields and privacy purpose agreed.
- reCAPTCHA configured if the public risk requires it.
#Build the Automation Consultation form
- Add name, example email, company, requested service, estimated budget, and a short problem statement.
- Mark only genuinely necessary fields as required.
- Configure conditional requirements and the safe upload policy.
- Set the thank-you response or approved redirect.
- Preview desktop and mobile layouts.
#Protect and publish the public boundary
Use reCAPTCHA when appropriate, rate limits, clear validation, and the supported safe file list. Test invalid input, oversized files, browser-active file types, and the successful result. Publish using the generated public URL, embed code, or QR code.
#Verify the lead and pipeline activity
Confirm source, stage, score, value, owner, and activity timeline. Move the seeded lead only after ownership is clear. Supported events such as lead.created, lead.stage_changed, lead.won, and lead.lost can start governed workflows.
#Common mistakes
- Collecting unnecessary personal data.
- Allowing HTML, JavaScript, PHP, or unsanitized SVG uploads.
- Publishing without testing the resulting lead and workflow event.
#Verify the result
- Valid input succeeds and invalid input is clear.
- Unsafe files are rejected.
- The accepted submission creates the intended lead.
- The workflow starts once with the expected source data.
