Forms can be linked to the CRM via an email notification. (Marketing360® CRM does not currently have an open API key or webhook URL)
There are 3 rules to help determine if a form can be linked to our CRM:
1. An email notification must be prompted to send when a form is submitted (copy must be able to be directed to our CRM)
2. The email notification must have clear headings/titles to break up the data (Name, Phone, Email etc)
3. Email notification
must be in a consistent, non-changing format.

We need the
Headings/Titles because we map the CRM to read the data in a specific format;
if the notification format is ever edited then we need to adjust the mapping
portion to match.
Contact Source in our CRM is how the contact gets to the company/CRM and
each Contact Source has a unique email address. This
unique email is what needs applied to the backend of the form(s) that you want
to connect to the CRM. Each form will have its own, separate Contact
Source in the CRM.
To Link forms to Marketing360® CRM:
1. The unique email will
need to be collected from the appropriate Contact Source within the backend of
the CRM.

2. The unique email will need plugged in on the backend of the form
3. Please note – the notification for the form may need created or formatted
with clear Headings/Titles (eg: Name: Phone: Email: etc)
4. Once the unique email is applied to the backend of the form, send a
test email from the form. This initial
test will populate into the backend of the CRM under the appropriate Contact
Source
Once the test email
notification is populated into the Contact Source on the backend, you will
continue with setting *Submission rules, if applicable, and mapping the CRM to
properly read the email format.

*Submission rules is where you can set ‘rules’ for contacts to come into your
CRM and automatically apply a Contact Type, Contact Status, Tag or Assigned To
a specific User(s)
