# Lead Forms

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Important:** this feature requires the paid **Operations add-on.**
{% endhint %}

Lead forms help you capture inbound requests without extra tools. Share a link or embed a form on your site. Each submission creates a contact and a deal automatically.

## What you can do with lead forms

* Capture new leads from your website, ads, and social channels
* Create multiple forms for different campaigns or services
* Track both **acquisition source** and **lead source**
* Review submissions in your pipeline or in **Account Settings**

## How lead forms work

Lead forms live in **Account Settings** under **Leads**. You can build different forms for different services, campaigns, or traffic sources.

Each form can collect project details, contact details, appointment preferences, custom questions, and image uploads. You can also choose what happens after submission, including a confirmation page or a redirect.

When someone submits a form:

* PaintScout creates a contact automatically
* PaintScout creates a deal automatically
* The form's **acquisition source** is saved on the new deal
* The lead's selected **lead source** is saved when that field is enabled

For day-to-day follow-up, work leads from your sales pipeline. For a centralized view across all forms, use **Account Settings** → **Leads** → **Submissions**.
