Leads

Track and manage potential customers from form submissions, quote requests, and inquiries.

Leads are potential customers who've shown interest in your business — through contact forms, quote requests, or newsletter signups. The Leads dashboard gives you a simple CRM to track and follow up on every inquiry.

Leads are automatically created when someone submits a form with purpose set to "Lead capture". See Forms & Leads for setting up lead capture forms.

Viewing leads

Go to Leads in the sidebar to see all captured leads. The list shows:

Lead statuses

Track leads through a simple sales pipeline:

StatusMeaningTypical action
NewJust submitted, not yet contactedReview and reach out
ContactedYou've made first contactAwait response
QualifiedConfirmed interest and fitSend proposal
ProposalProposal or quote sentFollow up
NegotiationDiscussing terms or pricingClose the deal
WonConverted to a customer🎉
LostDidn't convertArchive
SpamNot a real leadDismiss

Update a lead's status by clicking on it and selecting the new stage from the status dropdown.

Move leads to "Contacted" as soon as you reach out. This helps you track which new leads still need your attention — filter by "New" status each morning to see who needs a first response.

Lead details

Click any lead to see their full profile:

  • Contact info — name, email, phone
  • Source — which form they submitted and when
  • Form responses — all field values from their submission
  • Status history — when the status was last changed
  • Notes — internal notes for your team

How leads are created

Leads are created automatically from form submissions when the form's purpose is set to Lead capture:

  1. Customer fills out a form on your storefront (contact form, quote request, etc.)
  2. The form submission is saved
  3. A lead record is created with the customer's name, email, and phone (mapped from form fields)
  4. The lead appears in your Leads dashboard with status "New"

For leads to be created automatically, your form fields must be mapped to lead fields (name, email, phone) in the form builder. See Forms → Map to field for details.

Best practices

  • Respond within 24 hours — leads that get a fast response are far more likely to convert
  • Use status consistently — move leads through the pipeline so you always know where each one stands
  • Add notes after every interaction — "Called, discussed pricing, will send quote tomorrow"
  • Review "New" leads daily — don't let inquiries sit unread
  • Mark spam immediately — keeps your pipeline clean and metrics accurate
