Sample Lead Form

Use the following sample html code as a starting point for a page on your own website. Of course, you'll want to customize the look, choose which optional standard fields you want to use and maybe add some additional custom fields as described in the Direct Post Interface documentation. Additional notes:

  1. You MUST set the correct Direct Post Key in the directPostKey hidden field in the html code below. This key is available in the Leads→Sources & Schemes setup area in your channelLEADS account.
  2. The sample form includes a checkbox for the saveRecord field. This field is for testing only. When checked, the form contents will be echoed back to the screen for testing rather than being sent to your Lead Distribution queue. When you're read to submit a test lead, uncheck the box. When you're ready to go live you should delete this field from the form.
  3. You should set value for “thankYouUrl” hidden field. If you don't set a value for “thankYouUrl” the user will see a generic thank you page after submitting the form.
