Website forms can be submitted to Flywheel using two methods:

  1. Posting to Flywheel from existing web forms.
  2. Creating a new form in Flywheel, posting generated form code to your website. 


Posting From Existing Forms

Existing web forms can post to Flywheel using the following URL: 

https://[instance_name]/index.php?entryPoint=WebToPersonCapture&moduleDir=Leads


All "Leads" fields in Flywheel (including custom fields) in your Flywheel instance can be submitted via webforms. Flywheel administrators can also create custom fields to match website forms. 


The most common fields submitted include:

Additional Field Notes

The format for submitting each field is:

Creating a Website New Form

Important note: Form formatting is not included in the Flywheel form generator. We recommend working with your website provider to format/integrate forms into your website.

  1. Click on Marketing > Campaigns.
  2. Click on "Create Person Form" on the sidebar or top pop down bar.
  3. Add the fields needed onto the form. Note that required fields must be added to the form - they are highlighted in blue.
  4. Click on "Next"
  5. Relate the form to a Campaign. If one doesn't exist, create one.
  6. Click "Generate Form".
  7. Review the form for accuracy and completeness. Use the editor to make any wording changes as needed.
  8. Click "Save Form"
  9. Copy code from the form to your site, or send to the person in charge of your website content.
