What should happen after a visitor submits this form?

  • Display thank you message

    This option allows you to show a success message to the user after the form is filled, for example, if you are promising an e-book after the user fills the forms, you can add a link from the e-book so the user can download after the form is filled, or simple as success message.

  • Background Color

    If needed, choose the background color of the form to fit your branding.

  • Locale

Embed & Share

Concord CRM web forms can be embedded on any website so you can start capturing leads, the web forms can be embedded into multiple websites and all of the submissions will go straight to your Concord CRM installation.

  • Copy the code snippet below
  • Paste the code right where you want the form to appear in your template or CMS editor
  • You can also share the link directly with potential customers or existing customer to fill the form, the design is pretty decent and we do believe that you should get better conversions.

  • When entering the snippet to your CMS, make sure you are in “code editing” mode.

  • You must place the iframe snippet on a website that uses the same protocol like your installation, for example, if your Concord CRM installation uses https:// url, you will need to add the iframe in a website that uses https:// url, adding on a non-https url, will prevent the form from loading.
