Lead Forms allow you to capture all the necessary information from potential clients. When a client submits a lead form, the information is automatically fed into Studio, and you’ll receive an email notification for each new lead. From there, you can quickly approve the lead, archive it, or contact the client for more information.

Once the session is confirmed, you can quickly create a Project from the lead with just one click!

This article will cover how you can create and share Lead Forms, as well as how you can manage Leads in Studio.

Submission Settings.

In this section you can also determine what your client sees after they submit their form.

You can either show them a confirmation page, which is customizable by clicking Edit Confirmation Message, or you can redirect them to another page online, like a landing page on your website with next steps or a social media page!

When you've finished adding all of the necessary questions, click 'Create Lead Form' at the bottom of the page:

If this button is grayed out, it indicates that the Lead Form is missing some required fields. Please ensure you have added a Title, a Confirmation Message or URL, and that all answer choices are completed for any dropdown, radio button, or checkbox questions.
