Definition

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 sends what a visitor types straight into your CRM as a new lead. There is no inbox to copy from and nothing to retype. The visitor fills in the form, and the details arrive as a lead your team can pick up.

CIPHER CRM lets you build as many public lead-capture forms as you want. Each form has its own set of fields, so a form for a product enquiry can ask different questions from a form for a callback request. Every form carries a default status, source and assignee, which means each submission lands as a lead that is already sorted and already has someone responsible for it. You write the message a visitor sees after they submit, and each form gets its own shareable URL. You can embed a form on your website, or send the link in an ad, a social post or your email signature. Because the source is set per form, the Source filter on your lead list shows which form brought each lead in. Every workspace gets unlimited forms, with no per-form charge.

The problem

What happens without online enquiry forms

Your website contact form sends an email to one inbox, and someone has to copy each enquiry into the CRM by hand.

Enquiries from the site sit unread over a weekend because nobody knew they were theirs to answer.

Every enquiry looks the same, so you cannot tell which page or campaign brought it in.

One general form asks every visitor the same long list of questions, even when a callback only needs a name and a number.

Visitors press submit and see a plain sent message that tells them nothing about what happens next.

Why CIPHER

Why online enquiry forms are better in CIPHER

A lot of website forms end in an inbox, and someone still copies each enquiry across. We skip that step, so the form fills your lead list directly.

  • No copy and paste

    Submissions become leads directly, so there is no inbox in the middle and nobody retyping names and numbers.

  • Sorted before anyone looks

    Status, source and assignee come from the form, so a new lead does not wait in a pile for someone to sort it.

  • One form per purpose

    With unlimited forms, each with its own fields and link, you never squeeze every kind of enquiry into one long form.

  • Included in every plan

    Web-to-lead forms come with every workspace. There is no per-form fee and no separate forms tool to pay for.

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.
