How the Lead Capture Form (Enquiry Form) works

Our Lead Capture Form, also known as an Enquiry Form, enables you to capture new leads effortlessly from your website. Simply copy and paste the provided HTML code onto your contact page. When a visitor completes the form, you will receive an email notification, and a new event will be added automatically into Band Pencil. Additionally, the client will receive a confirmation email to acknowledge the successful submission of their response.

Customising the Lead Capture Form

You have the ability to customise the form to better match your website, you can edit:

• Form title
• Form description text
• Background colour
• Text color
• Button color

If you want to size the form to fit your website you can amend the height in the iframe code (by default this should be set to 1000) and make sure the iframe code has scrolling="yes". Check your form your desired location by clicking 'Send' with no data entered to make sure the error message and send button are still visible.

Can I add my own fields?

At the moment you can't add your own fields. Why? Because shorter forms usually generate more leads since people can fill them quickly. We believe our lead capture form has a good balance between collecting enough information and not asking for excess information that your visitors are reluctant to give, or might not know at the point they are enquiring.

If you really need to collect more information you can always design your own form in Band Pencil and embed that on your website instead.

Once a submission has been submitted

Once the client submits an enquiry three things happen:

1. We automatically create a new event in Band Pencil and save all the information they've submitted.
2. We send a confirmation email to the client. It simply says: "Thanks for submitting an enquiry! Someone from the team will review this shortly and get back to you as soon as we can. Your unique reference number is (the event ID)." The email contains no Band Pencil branding, apart from the required anti-spam fields.
3. We send a email to you to notify you of the new submission, this email contains all the information they submitted and a link to the event in Band Pencil.
