Adding Progressive Profiling Fields

Article: 000050202
Updated: July 12, 2024

Add additional fields that will be queued to display on a form when the visitor views the form again in the future

Contact forms should include no more than four fields per form. Adding additional fields reduces the likelihood a lead will fill out your form and give you their information.

To help keep your forms clean, you can add progressive profiling fields to your Lead Gen & CRM forms. Progressive profiling fields will only display if the information for the specific field is unknown. If you already have information for the lead, the field will be replaced with a field you have yet to collect.

How Progressive Profiling Fields Function

For Lead Gen & CRM forms, fields above the Progressive Profiling Fields section in the Fields tab will display the first time a lead views and submits the form. Fields below the Progressive Profiling Fields section are queued for display each additional time the lead views the form.

Once the lead submits the information for a specific field, it will be replaced by the next queued field when the visitor views the form in the future. This behavior will continue until the point at which the lead has provided information for all of the form fields. At that time, the form will then display the fields included above the Progressive Profiling Fields section.
 



Adding Progressive Profiling Fields

You can add progressive profiling fields to Lead Gen & CRM forms as necessary.

To add progressive profiling fields to a Lead Gen & CRM form, create or edit a form:

  1. Click the Fields drop-down menu in the Fields tab.
  2. Select the desired standard or custom field.

    Select Form Field

     

  3. Drag the field below the Progressive Profiling Fields line. Repeat as necessary.
    Note: Form fields must have the Autofill option enabled in order to be replaced by progressive profiling fields.
  4. Click Save Changes.

When you are ready to place the form on your website, copy the embed code and paste it onto your website.
