Building Different Types of Forms

Contact Form

Create a Contact page with SkunkForms. Include fields for name, email,
company, subject, and message. Send leads to CRM tagged as "general inquiry"

Quote Request Form

Create a "Get a Quote" page with a multi-step form:
Step 1: Project type (dropdown: Website, App, Integration, Other)
Step 2: Budget range (radio: <$5K, $5K-$15K, $15K-$50K, $50K+)
Step 3: Timeline (radio: ASAP, 1-3 months, 3-6 months, Flexible)
Step 4: Contact details (name, email, phone, company)
Tag all submissions as "quote-request" with priority based on budget

OpenClaw creates a professional multi-step form with conditional logic and smart tagging.

Newsletter Signup

Add a newsletter signup form to the footer of every page. Just email field
and submit button. Tag subscribers as "newsletter" in CRM

Demo Request Form

Create a "Request Demo" page for our SaaS product. Collect name, email,
company name, company size, and role. Auto-create a deal in CRM for high-value
companies (>100 employees) and tag as "demo-requested"

OpenClaw sets up conditional deal creation based on company size.

Lead Scoring and Qualification

Update the quote request form to score leads:
- Budget >$50K: +50 points
- Budget $15K-$50K: +30 points
- Timeline ASAP: +20 points
- Timeline 1-3 months: +10 points
Store score in CRM and assign hot leads (70+ points) to sales team

OpenClaw configures automatic lead scoring and routing.

Follow-up Automation

Set up auto-responders for the waitlist form:
- Immediate: "Thanks for joining! You're #[position] on the list"
- Day 3: "Here's what you can expect when we launch"
- Day 7: "Meet our founding team" with link to About page
- Day 14: "Early access is coming! Get your spot ready"

OpenClaw creates an email drip sequence tied to form submissions.

CRM Pipeline Management

Viewing Your Leads

SkunkCRM gives you a visual pipeline in WordPress:

• Waitlist → People who signed up pre-launch
• Lead → Submitted contact/quote form
• Qualified → Met criteria (budget, timeline, fit)
• Demo Scheduled → Booked a call
• Proposal Sent → Received quote/proposal
• Negotiation → Discussing terms
• Won → Became a customer
• Lost → Didn't convert

All managed from /wp-admin/admin.php?page=skunkcrm

Auto-Moving Contacts Through Pipeline

Configure SkunkCRM automation:
- When "demo-requested" tag is added → move to "Demo Scheduled" stage
- When deal value >$10K → notify sales team
- When no activity for 30 days in "Qualified" stage → send re-engagement email
- When deal moves to "Won" → send welcome email and create onboarding tasks

OpenClaw sets up the entire automation workflow.

Multi-Form Campaigns

Product Launch Campaign

Create three forms for our product launch:
1. /early-access - Early access signup with referral tracking
2. /beta-testers - Beta tester application with selection criteria
3. /launch-notify - Simple email capture for launch day notification

Connect all three to SkunkCRM with appropriate tags and pipeline stages

Lead Magnet Funnel

Create a lead magnet funnel:
1. /free-guide - Download "10 OpenClaw Skills Every Business Needs"
   Collect email, create contact, tag as "guide-download"
2. After submit, show thank you page with upsell to paid guide
3. If they click upsell, direct to /checkout with pre-filled email
4. Track the entire funnel in CRM

Form Analytics

Create a dashboard showing:
- Form submissions per day/week/month
- Conversion rate by form
- Most common inquiry types
- Average time to contact response
- Lead source breakdown
Display on /wp-admin/admin.php?page=skunkcrm-reports

OpenClaw configures SkunkCRM reporting to track form performance.

Conditional Form Logic

On the contact form, add conditional logic:
- If "inquiry type" = "Sales" → show "Budget" and "Timeline" fields
- If "inquiry type" = "Support" → show "Product" and "Issue Type" fields
- If "inquiry type" = "Partnership" → show "Company Size" and "Proposal" upload
Route each inquiry type to different team members

SkunkForms handles advanced conditional logic automatically.

Compliance and Privacy

Add GDPR compliance to all forms:
- Checkbox: "I consent to receiving marketing emails"
- Checkbox: "I agree to the Privacy Policy"
- Make email consent optional but track in CRM
- Add unsubscribe link to all automated emails

OpenClaw ensures your forms are GDPR/privacy-law compliant.

Integration with Email Marketing

Connect SkunkCRM to Mailchimp:
- When contact is tagged "newsletter" → add to Mailchimp audience
- When contact is tagged "waitlist" → add to waitlist campaign
- Sync contact details both ways
- Track email opens and clicks in CRM

Or:

Connect SkunkCRM to ConvertKit:
- Sync all "lead" contacts to ConvertKit
- When they're marked "customer" → move to customer segment
- Track email engagement in CRM
