You can add the ShootQ contact form to your website so that a lead will be created in ShootQ automatically whenever someone fills out the form. ShootQ will then notify you via email that you have a new lead.

To set up the contact form, navigate to Settings > Contact Form, Themes, & Referral Tracking

Referral Types

Before setting up your contact form you may want to create a list of standard referrers so clients can let you know who recommended them to you. These referrers can then be added into a drop down menu on the contact form. Anyone filling out the form will be able to tell who referred them. You can add new referrers in the upper right corner. You can also edit or archive existing referrers.

Contact Form

After you've set up your referral list and theme, you can then configure your form. First give your form a name so that you can identify it. Clients will not see the name.

The Welcome Message will be displayed at the top of the contact form.

Next set up the fields on your contact form. You can change the names of these fields if you want. For example, "Email" can be changed to "Email Address" or "Phone" can be updated to "Phone Number". Just type in whatever you would like to have displayed on the form.

For Job Type, make sure you check which types will be selectable on the form. These types can be created under Settings > Jobs > Job Types.ย 

You can also add some additional fields - like Event Date, Event Location, Address, etc - to the form, too. Make the option visible and then set it to Required if necessary.

If you add fields for Referral Type and Job Role, just make sure you select the options you want to make available to the client.

Thank You Message

The Thank You Message will appear after the client submits their information. You can also automatically redirect a lead to another page on your website after they read the welcome message.

We also recommend enabling CAPTCHA. This will prevent spam bots from submitting spam leads on your contact form.

Next you have the option of an Auto Response Email Message. Here you can choose from your templates which email you want to send after they fill out this lead form.

There is a View Contact Form button if you want to preview your form on the top right corner.

Contact Form Link

Next on the right side, you can copy the contact form link to add it as a hyperlink on your website so that when a client clicks the "Contact" tab, your ShootQ contact form will be displayed. You can also embed the link on a page on your website if you prefer.

Theme Settings

After the contact form the right hand side, you can choose a theme from your list. This will determine how the contact form will look. (Themes can be set up in Settings > Themes.)

Last but not least, make sure you save your contact form. If necessary, you can create multiple forms to be used on different sites. For example, you can have one form for your website and another one for your blog. You could also use the same form on multiple sites.

Whenever someone fills out your contact a lead will be created and the main contact will be added to the Contacts tab as well. The information collected on the form (i.e. Event Date, Job Type, etc.) will then auto-populate in the appropriate section in ShootQ.
