How to Build a Web Capture form on a Landing Page
Web Capture Forms are online forms that can be used to allow contacts to update their details, set their preferences or answer your questions.
These can be recorded within CommuniGator for future use, and even passed back to your CRM system if an integration is in place.
The benefit of doing this is that using a Landing Page webform allows you to track the clicks, but it also updates the contact record.
