web-to-lead code on Joomla RS Forms?

Post by SquireTech » Mon Jul 19, 2021 3:00 pm

We have a Joomla website: www.squire-technologies.co.uk
We are having problems with creating new forms on RS Forms that communicate with our Salesforce account.

Having created new lead fields in Salesforce and used the web-to-lead area in Salesforce to create the code, we're unsure where to paste this in our Joomla website in order to pass the lead from our website into our leads area on Salesforce.

The code generate is below, and the instructions are to give this to your web-developer. We do not have a web developer, we're trying to figure this out ourselves. Can someone perhaps help by telling us where this piece of code goes in our Joomla website or perhaps RS Forms???......

I've configured this for a client once with RSForm Pro using the RSForm Salesforce Web2Lead Plugin.
Don't copy + paste the code, but use the info in it to configure the RSForm form (under Extras)
I used the documentation on the RSForm website to configure the plugin.

Hi Pe7er,

Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry I wasn't clear previously, our issue is that the link between RSForms/Joomla and Salesforce seems to be 'silent' (see attachments) so there is no use of the fields in Extras. This is what we're finding tricky. Having tried to create a new contact form by duplicating the original one, we're finding that any extra fields are not being sent to Salesforce and that we seem unable to map them as everything seems to be done via a Silent Post?

Tim.
