With the paid version of CRM-FREE you can post forms directly from your web site into your database to capture new contacts. All you need to do is make a few changes to your form.
1. Change the url that the form post to: https://www1.mscc2.com/CRM-FREE/webform.php - this is a secure web page for your data to be submitted to.
2. Add a hidden field for the page you want visitors directed to after completing the form, for example
<input type="hidden" name="wredirect" value="http://www.yourdomain.com/thanks.html">Add a hidden field to identify your account:
<input type="hidden" name="n1srv" value="Account.ID">
Add a hidden field to assign a user (uid) to access record or a group (ugid) of users to be able to access the new contact. ID's can be found from the Settings tab and View / Edit Users. The ID is at the top of each user or group's record.
<input type="hidden" name="uid" value="User.ID">
<input type="hidden" name="ugid" value="UserGroup.ID">
