Wuffo as lead capture tool

Wuffo can be used as a quick and easy lead capture tool. With a bit of work you can pre-populate fields via a query string and make hidden form fields. Here’s how.

  1. Create a lead source field in your form.
  2. To hide the lead source field type “hide” in the ”Add CSS Layout Keywords” box.
  3. Look up the API ID for the lead source field: in the form manager click “Code” then “API Information”.
  4. Construct your URL as follows: http://USERNAME.wufoo.com/forms/FORM-NAME/def/fieldAPI-ID=VALUE

Now you can pass referral or campaign information into your forms without worrying about end-users mucking with the data.
