Create Intake Form and Automation in Keap

To create the form, log in to Keap. In this step we'll build a detailed intake form to capture necessary information about your leads. If you already have an intake form you would like to use, Click Here to skip to the next section. 

Need some ideas for how to construct your form? The goal is to entice your customers to take an action to engage with your business. Some good examples are:

• Participate in a flash sale
• Offer to schedule a free estimate or inspection
• Using a giveaway as a lead magnet (for example, downloading a free e-book or other digital asset like a checklist, guide, or toolkit)
• Request a personalized consultation or demo

1. In Keap, navigate to Marketing, then click on Forms. Then, click on Create Form.
2. Ensure that Public Form is selected so this form will display to your leads. Then, you'll need to select a template. For this instance, Lead Form is the best place to start. However, you will still be able to customize the form with everything your business needs to capture a lead.
3. In the form creator, set up your intake form to capture details about the lead that will help you nurture the relationship and eventually close the sale. To get started, add an Internal Form Name, an optional Headline (which will appear at the top of your form, and Button Text for your call to action button.
4. Next, add fields to your form to capture the information needed to nurture your lead. Click on Add Fields to add existing fields from your CRM.
5. If the field you wish to include has not already been created, click on Create New Field.
6. This will bring up the field creation window. Enter a name for the field, then select a field type. Based on the field type selected, you may have more information you will need to enter. Once it is created, the field will be added to your form. Keep in mind, any fields created here will be added to your global fields, meaning they will be available for all contacts in your Keap CRM.
7. Continue to add fields until you have all of the information needed to nurture that lead. Remember, the more fields included on a form, the less likely a lead is to fill it out. However, having more information helps qualify the lead and makes it easier to follow up and nurture. Make sure you find the right balance that works for your business.
8. Once you have added the desired fields, use the handlebars on each field to click and drag them to the desired order. Once this is complete, click on Next to move on to styling your form.
9. On this screen, make changes to the design elements of your form. Use the checkbox to determine whether your business logo appears on the phone. Use a HEX code or the color picker to change the background color for the form, or change the color of your action button. Once you have designed the form, click on Next to move on to setting the automation for this form.
   
   
10. On this screen, choose which automated actions Keap will perform for leads who fill out this form. To add one of the suggested automations, click on the + icon next to it. Or, to create an automation from scratch, click on Create custom animation.
11. When an automation is added, a panel will pop out from the right-hand side. Click on the + icon to add more action items in each stage of the automation, or click on the tri-dots, then delete to remove it.
