Wanting more info from visitors using the Contact Form? Contact Forms can be customized for the
60+
specific information your team needs. They can generate multiple types of records in the
61+
system, such as emails, leads/opportunities, project tasks, helpdesk tickets, and more.
62+
63+
The free *Form Builder* module can be installed from either the apps page or automatically when
64+
adding a form to a page in the Website Builder. Adding a whole new form can be great if you are
65+
soliciting certain information that needs filtering, such as suggestions, bug reports, etc.

However, if the Contact Us Page's available predefined form options can work with some editing,

Generate leads instead of opportunities

=======================================
97+
A completed form's default action is to send you the customer's inputted information by

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