Using the Form Widget

Updated: November 21st, 2017

The forms widget is the most powerful tool in the Landing Page Editor as they allow you to collect information from contacts. Whenever a form is submitted on a landing page that information is recorded against that contacts record.

  • If a form is submitted on a landing page that a contact accessed via a link they received in a text, the information is recorded against their contact record.
  • If a form is submitted on a landing page that a contact accessed via other means i.e. QR code, web link posted via facebook, MOBIT uses field matching to decide what contact to record the information against, or whether to create an entirely new contact.

  4. You will then need to select theCustom Field Data Type you custom field is grouped under from the Custom Field Data Type Dropdown, lastly selecting your Custom Field Name from the Custom Field Name DropdownImage title
  5. To make a form field a required field, simply click on a contact field and check the Required Field box. When this field is checked, contacts must fill the field out before they can successfully submit a form. We also recommend that you select the Hide Label checkbox for all text custom fields, primary fields, and additional primary fields, as it presents better on a landing page. This will hide the label of your form. On the below from, Mobile Number has Hide Label Selected, compared to Emai, which does not.Image title
