What Are Lead Forms?

Lead Forms are customizable forms inside PaintScout that collect information from potential customers and turn it into actionable leads.

When someone submits a lead form:

• A contact is created automatically
• A deal is created and added to the first stage of your sales pipeline

By capturing leads directly in PaintScout, you reduce manual data entry, avoid missed opportunities, and gain better visibility into where your leads are coming from.

Creating Multiple Lead Forms

You can create and manage multiple lead forms, each designed for a different use case.

For each form, you can:

• Assign an acquisition source (where the lead comes from, such as Website or Google Ads)
• Create a custom question to ask the lead how they heard about you (lead source)

This gives you better lead attribution and reporting. Learn more about lead source vs. acquisition source

Supported question types:

• Single select
• Multi select
