Generate leads/opportunities
3+
============================
4+
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.
8+
9+
Configure email aliases
10+
=======================
11+
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`.

22+
Use Contact Forms on your website
23+
=================================
24+
25+
By default, your website's *Contact Us* page displays Odoo's ready-to-use Contact Form. Whenever
26+
someone submits this form, a lead or an opportunity is generated in your database.
27+
28+
.. image:: generate_leads/default-contact-us-page.png
29+
:align: center
30+
:alt: Default Contact Us page
31+
32+
The Contact Form can be activated or deactivated at any time by going to :menuselection:`Website
33+
--> Go to Website --> Customize --> Contact Form`.

35+

36+
:align: center
37+
:alt: Contact Form toggle
38+
39+
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.

Choose which Sales Team or salesperson is automatically assigned to the leads/opportunities created
47+
from the Contact Form by going to :menuselection:`Website --> Configuration --> Settings -->
48+
Communication`.

Customize Contact Forms
55+
=======================
56+
57+
Contact Forms can be customized for the specific information your team needs, using the free *Form
58+
Builder* module.
59+
60+
The *Form Builder* module is installed automatically when a Form element is added to a web page via
61+
the Website Builder. It can also be installed manually from the :guilabel:`Apps` page.
62+

66+
67+
.. 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.

96+
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.
100+
101+
.. tip::
102+
If leads are activated in your CRM settings, selecting :guilabel:`Create an Opportunity`
103+
generates a lead instead. To learn more about activating leads in the CRM settings, head over to
104+
:doc:`convert`.
