You should first go to your website app.
5+
Two key ways to generate new leads or opportunities for your business are through email aliases and
6+
website contact forms. Odoo automatically creates leads in your CRM whenever someone sends a
7+
message to a Sales Team email alias or fills out a contact form on your website.

With the CRM app installed, you benefit from a ready-to-use contact form
17-
on your Odoo website that will generate leads/opportunities
18-
automatically.
12+
Each Sales Team can use its own unique email alias to generate leads/opportunities. Any email sent
13+
to a Sales Team's email alias will automatically create a lead (if leads are activated in your CRM
14+
settings) or an opportunity in the pipeline for that particular team. Configure custom email
15+
aliases on the configuration page for each Sales Team by navigating to :menuselection:`CRM -->
16+
Configuration --> Sales Teams`.

You will need to install the free *Form Builder* module, only

available in Odoo Enterprise.

When the Form is deactivated, the *Contact Us* page simply displays a button to email your company
40+
directly. Any email sent this way will generate a lead/opportunity.

.. tip::
68+
Forms can be created from scratch to serve a wide variety of purposes. However, Odoo's default
69+
*Contact Us* page is designed to fit most users' needs. Start with the default form and modify
70+
from there.
71+
72+
Edit Contact Form fields
73+
------------------------
74+
75+
In Edit mode on your website, click on any field to start editing it. The following information can
76+
be edited for each field on the Contact Form:
77+
78+
- :guilabel:`Type`: Choose a custom field option or an existing field. Examples include phone, file
79+
upload, language, etc.
80+
- :guilabel:`Input Type`: Determine the type of entry customers should input. Available options are
81+
text,email, telephone, and URL.
82+
- :guilabel:`Input Placeholder`: Type in an example to guide users how to input information where
83+
formatting is important, such as a phone number or email address.
84+
- :guilabel:`Label Name`: Type in the display name to show users what information is needed from
85+
them.
86+
- :guilabel:`Label Position`: Choose the way the label is aligned with the rest of the form. The
87+
label can be hidden, above the field, to the far left of the field, or right adjusted and closer
88+
to the field.
89+
- :guilabel:`Required`: Toggle this option for information that you absolutely need entered.
90+
- :guilabel:`Hidden`: Toggle this option to hide the field without deleting it.
91+
- :guilabel:`Shown on Mobile`: Toggle this option to show the field to users on mobile devices.

When using a contact form, you should use a qualification step
70-
before assigning the form to the right sales people. To do so, activate *Leads*
71-
in CRM settings and refer to :doc:`convert`.
97+
By default, when a Form is submitted, it sends you an email with the customer's inputted
98+
information. To have it automatically generate a lead/opportunity instead, edit the Form and select
99+
:guilabel:`Create an Opportunity` as the Action.

generates a lead instead. To learn more about activating leads in the CRM settings, head over to
