Good morning,
I’m trying to create a lead through a form I have built in WordPress using Forminator, which allows me to use webhooks. The thing is, I don’t see a clear way to create the lead in my SuiteCRM 8 from this form. Could someone guide me on this topic? I can’t find any information on how to do it unless it’s pure HTML using the form that SuiteCRM itself generates.
Check out the video:
Here’s a step by step tutorial. This will probably work for your form plugin too. No coding required.
Thank you very much for your response. I’ve already watched and tested that video, and it does work. However, the issue is that the form is embedded directly as raw HTML on the website. In my experience, this can lead to rendering and performance problems if you want to implement it properly, especially when adding visual improvements, field validations, and similar enhancements, since the default form provided by SuiteCRM is quite basic.
That’s why I’m using a plugin like Forminator. It allows me to build much more polished, user-friendly forms, makes it easier for other WordPress collaborators to create and manage forms without needing technical knowledge, and also provides an extra layer of security through built-in validations, reCAPTCHA, and honeypot fields.
Thank you very much, I’ll give this a try. I had already explored several third-party integration plugins, but none of the ones I found worked for me. I’ll test the one you recommended.
Thanks again for the quick response!
Hello Alex,
the topic is more complex than it seems.
If you just want to create every request from your website as a lead in your CRM - it’s fairly simple. Just use any method that works for you.
However, as you wrote and furthermore:
Honeypot, data enrichment, field validations, de-duplication, matching on a contact - lead - target level etc.
Often, the requirements are more complex, then I recommend an approach with more logic:
Use SuiteCRM REST API
