Every enquiry already has an owner, so the right person can call back without waiting for someone to hand it over.
Online enquiry forms, also called web to lead forms
Give each form its own questions, then put it on your website or share its link. Every enquiry comes in as a lead with its status, source and staff member already set, ready for the first call.
Online enquiry forms in CIPHER CRM, often called web to lead forms, are public forms you build yourself, as many as you need. Each form has its own questions, a starting status, source and staff member, your own thank-you message and a link to share.
Put one on your website or send the link anywhere, and every enquiry arrives as a lead that is already sorted and given to the right person. 192+ businesses run CIPHER CRM across 31 industries, with 92 built-in features, a 4.8/5 average rating and 99.9% uptime. Most teams are live in 1-3 days.

Potato traders pay storage rent bit by bit as they lift their bags. The Overdue flag tells me which trader to call before his last bags go out.

When a dealer sends back a faulty e-rickshaw battery, its value goes on a credit note in his name. He can adjust it against his next invoice.

Each reefer load for the prawn processing plants needs the set temperature, vehicle number and seal number noted. We put a field for each of those on the load record, so when a plant rings, the office reads the details off the screen instead of phoning the driver.

What is a web to lead form?
A web to lead form is an enquiry form on your website, or behind a shared link, that creates a lead in your CRM when someone submits it. In CIPHER CRM each submission arrives with a status, source and assignee already set, so it is ready for your team to follow up.
How many web-to-lead forms can I create in CIPHER CRM?
As many as you like. Forms are unlimited in every plan, so you can make one for each service, landing page or campaign. Each one keeps its own fields, defaults, thank-you message and link, and none of them costs extra.
Can each form ask different questions?
Yes. Every form has its own field set. A quick callback form can ask for a name and a phone number, while a quote request form asks for more detail about the job. Visitors only see the questions that belong to the form they are filling in.
Who gets the leads that come in through a form?
Each form has a default assignee, and every lead it creates is assigned to that person. You can point different forms at different people, so enquiries for one service go to one teammate and enquiries for another service go to someone else.
Do I need a website to use a web-to-lead form?
No. Every form has its own shareable URL, so you can send the link in an ad, a social post, a message or your email signature. If you do have a website, you can also embed the form on any page you choose.
Can I change the message people see after they submit?
Yes. Each form has its own custom success message. Use it to thank the visitor and tell them what happens next, such as when your team will be in touch, so they are not left wondering whether the form went through.
How do I know which form a lead came from?
Set a different default source on each form. Every lead a form creates carries that source, and you can filter your lead list by source to see only the enquiries that came in through a particular form, page or campaign.
