Form submissions are more than inbox entries. Use them to understand customer intent, update Customer 360, assign tasks, and trigger the right follow-up.

What this guide helps you do

• Review submission data before acting.
• Turn submissions into customer records, tasks, Audiences, or journeys.
• Keep follow-up respectful and tied to the visitor request.

Before you start

• The form should collect reliable contact information.
• Customer sync or mapping should be reviewed if the form feeds CRM.
• Know what the next action should be for each type of submission.

Do it manually

1. Open Forms and select the form.
2. Review recent submissions and important fields.
3. Open or create the related customer record when appropriate.
4. Add the submitter to an Audience, journey, saved view, or task workflow if follow-up is needed.
5. Draft a reply, reminder, quote, booking link, or internal task.
6. Review delivery and customer preferences before sending.

Review before saving or publishing

• Respect unsubscribe and contact preferences for marketing follow-up.
• Check the submission details before using AI summaries.
• Do not publish private form answers in pages, posts, or campaigns.

Common issues and fixes

• If submissions do not appear in Customer 360, check email mapping and customer sync.
• If follow-up is inconsistent, create saved views or journeys for repeatable submission types.
• If data is missing, adjust the form fields before the next campaign.

Use it in daily operations

• Review form submissions daily for active campaigns.
• Use submission data to improve forms, pages, and offers.
• Keep a clear owner for each follow-up path.

Team handoff

• Write down what changed, who owns the next review, and which page, customer record, campaign, or plugin record should be checked next.
• If the work affects customers, include the public URL, test result, and any unresolved placeholder media in the handoff note.
• When Faster AI helped prepare the change, ask it to summarize the draft and review checklist so a teammate can approve the work without retracing every click.
