Generate Salesforce leads from form submissions.
This plugin requires Craft CMS 3.0.0 or later.
To install the plugin, follow these instructions.
-
Open your terminal and go to your Craft project:
cd /path/to/project -
Then tell Composer to load the plugin:
composer require lukeyouell/craft-salesforceleads -
In the Control Panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “Install” button for Salesforce Leads.
Your form template can look something like this:
<form action="" method="post">
{{ csrfInput() }}
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="salesforce-leads/post">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="{{ 'contact/thanks'|hash }}">
<input type="hidden" name="lead_source" value="{{ 'Web'|hash }}">
<input type="hidden" name="Campaign_ID" value="{{ 'FA4316257629E'|hash }}">
<label>Name</label>
<input type="text" name="name">
<label>Email Address</label>
<input type="email" name="email">
<label>Message</label>
<textarea name="message"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>The following Salesforce parameters are available but must contain hashed values to prevent tampering.
| Name | Required | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
oid |
No | Value set in settings/config |
retURL |
No | Current site base url |
lead_source |
No | Null |
Campaign_ID |
No | Null |
The above field names are case-sensitive.
If you have a redirect hidden input, the user will be redirected to it upon successful submission. Again, this must be a hashed value.
If you don't have a redirect hidden input, the plugin will respond with json.
To configure the Honeypot Captcha, go to Settings → Salesforce Leads and choose a param name that your honeypot field should have.
Then edit your form template(s), adding the honeypot field:
<input class="hidden" type="text" name="secretHoneypotParamName">You can hide the field with CSS:
.hidden {
display: none;
}If you have the Email Validator plugin installed you can validate the email addresses being used to submit Salesforce leads.
To configure the Email Validator, go to Settings → Salesforce Leads, choose a param name that your email field should have and toggle the validation processes you wish to enforce.
You can optionally post contact form submissions over Ajax if you’d like. Just send a POST request to your site with all of the same data that would normally be sent:
$('#myForm').submit(function(ev) {
// Prevent the form from actually submitting
ev.preventDefault();
// Send it to the server
$.post({
url: '/',
dataType: 'json',
data: $(this).serialize(),
success: function(response) {
if (response.success) {
alert('Successful submission.');
} else {
alert('An error occurred. Please try again.');
}
}
});
});We are posting to Salesforce using a HTTP POST request, so we don't receive any meaningful feedback. The request will only error if there is a problem with the request itself.
