ConvertPlug lets you create attractive forms that help generate leads. Unlike standard forms that might allow you to accept only the essential details such as the name, email address and the basic contact details, ConvertPlug allows you to create custom fields that can be used to accept all the necessary data you wish to capture.

The Form Builder in ConvertPlug will help you create custom fields. The following steps will help you use this feature.

1. Create a Module and open it in the Editor. Click on the Form Designer tab.

Points to be Noted:

  • The Email field is compulsory and should be present in every form. Third Party softwares accept entries that HAVE an email id along with them.
  • Email fields are marked “Required” by default. You can mark the other important fields as “required”.
  • Field names should match the field names which the respective third party software accepts.
