Getting Started with WebToLeads.app

WebToLeads.app is a Salesforce-native platform that makes it simple to create, configure, and embed modern Salesforce Web-to-Lead forms — without touching code. It replaces outdated CRM lead capture forms with a no-code, automated system designed to improve lead generation efficiency, ensure real-time Salesforce lead capture, and reduce manual data entry.

What Is Salesforce Web-to-Lead?

Web-to-Lead is a powerful feature in CRM systems like Salesforce that automatically generates an HTML lead capture form for your website. When a visitor fills out the form, their details are sent directly to Salesforce via a POST request to create a new lead record. This automatic Salesforce lead record creation eliminates manual data entry and enables your team to manage, assign, and convert leads into sales opportunities instantly.

How WebToLeads.app Works

WebToLeads.app streamlines every step of the Salesforce Web-to-Lead setup — from configuration to automation — so anyone can launch a working lead form in minutes.

  • Configuration: Choose the Salesforce Web-to-Lead fields you want on your form (such as name, email, phone) and define a redirect URL or "thank you" page for after submission.
  • HTML Generation: Instantly generate the Salesforce HTML code for your website lead form — no developer required.
  • Form Placement: Simply copy and paste the code to embed a Web-to-Lead form on your website, whether it’s a contact page, quote form, or landing page.
  • Submission: When a visitor submits the form, the data is transmitted securely to Salesforce through an automated Web-to-Lead POST request.
  • Lead Creation: Salesforce automatically creates a new lead record with the captured information — ensuring real-time Salesforce lead capture and centralized data management.
  • Automation: Enable Salesforce assignment rules to send new leads to the right team, and use automated email responses to acknowledge inquiries instantly.
