On the form list page, click the "Create form" button and select a ready-made template "Application form":
After that a pop-up window will open in front of you, where you should enter the name of your future form lead:

Adjustment of form lid elements
Now our form consists of the following elements:
- A field for entering a name. Obligatory to fill in.
- A special field for entering an e-mail address, with automatic verification of the correctness of the entry. Required to be filled in.
- Required to be filled in.
- Status of request - this field is not displayed in the form and is available only for administrator, which is displayed when editing the request in the "Statistics" section.
By default, the "Numbers" form element is used to enter the phone, i.e. you can only enter numbers in this field. If necessary, you can replace it with a special element of the form "Phone", which allows you to enter the number by input mask.
For all these fields (except for the request status), the "Do not display the name in the form" option is enabled in the settings and the default value is specified to display the title inside the input field.
If necessary, you can always delete unnecessary fields or add new ones, edit existing ones - change names, display and validation parameters, etc. E-mail notifications in the capture form
E-mail notifications in the capture form
After we have sorted out the fields of our capture form, we need to configure e-mail notifications. To do this you need to go to the form link settings in the "E-mail notifications" section:
Here you can configure e-mail notifications for the form administrator and, if necessary, e-mail notification for the user (answering machine). In order to activate the required type of e-mail notifications, click on the special switch.
Let us set up a notification for the administrator of our capture form:
Here you specify to which e-mail addresses the notifications will be sent (you can specify several e-mail addresses), set up the necessary subject of the letter, the sender's name and e-mail address, as well as the text of the letter itself. For the sender's name and e-mail address, you can select the values from our capture form, so that in an incoming email to our mailbox, automatically substituted values from the form, as the sender.
Similarly, you can also activate e-mail notifications for the user who sent the form - the auto-responder. There you can write that your order has been received and our manager will contact you. But we will not do it now.
Besides e-mail notifications, you can also activate sms notifications. But this is a paid service.
In order to monitor the effectiveness of the form and read the conversion, you can go to the section "Analytics" and there you can connect the counter Google Analytics and/or Yandex.Metrics, as well as prescribe the desired goals that will work if the web form is successfully completed.
