| 56 | +Creating a custom Contact Form |
| 57 | +============================== |
61 | 58 |
|
62 | | -.. note:: |
63 | | - If the same visitor uses the contact form twice, the second |
64 | | - entry will be added to the first lead/opportunity in the chatter. |
| 59 | +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. |

| 71 | +However, if the Contact Us Page's available predefined form options can work with some editing, |
| 72 | +editing these options is the fastest way to customize the form to fit your needs. |

| 74 | +Editing contact form fields |
| 75 | +--------------------------- |
| 76 | +In edit mode, click on the field to change, and you can edit any of the following information for |
| 77 | +the specific field: |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +- **Type**: Choose a custom field option or an existing field. Examples include phone, file |
| 80 | + upload, language, etc. |
| 81 | +- **Input Type**: This determines the type of entry customers should input. Available options are |
| 82 | + text, email, telephone, and URL. |
| 83 | +- **Input Placeholder**: Type in an example to guide users how to input information where |
| 84 | + formatting is important, such as a phone number or email address. |
| 85 | +- **Label Name**: Type in the display name to show users what information is needed from them. |
| 86 | +- **Label Position**: Choose the way the label is aligned with the rest of the form. The label |
| 87 | + can be hidden, above the field, to the far left of the field, or right adjusted and closer to the |
| 88 | + field. |
| 89 | +- **Required**: Toggleable option for information that you absolutely need entered. |
| 90 | +- **Hidden**: Toggleable option to hide the given field for this form or not. |

66 | | -Generate leads instead of opportunities |
67 | | -======================================= |
| 97 | +A completed form's default action is to send you the customer's inputted information by |
| 98 | +email. You can change this to lead/opportunity generation in edit mode by clicking any of the |
| 99 | +form’s fields, and under the form options, selecting **Create an Opportunity** as the action. |
68 | 100 |
|
69 | | -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`. |
