Creating a Drag & Drop Leadbox

Leadboxes are high-converting, customizable opt-in forms that can be embedded on almost any site. This guide will cover how to create (and personalize) a new Leadbox from scratch, so you can start gathering leads and growing your list. Here are the four basic steps:

Create and name your Leadbox
Customize and add content
Set up your form
Publish your Leadbox to your site

Getting started

To create a new Leadbox, navigate to the Leadboxes® tab in your account dashboard. Then, click Create Leadbox.

TIP: If you prefer to use our Standard Leadboxes, you can create one by clicking the drop-down arrow next to the Create Leadbox button.

Next, choose a descriptive name for your Leadbox and click Start Building to open the Leadbox builder.

Customizing and adding content

All new Leadboxes include a few widgets to get you started, including a progress bar, some text, and a form. Click any widget to customize it, like the text widget shown below:

Adding new content

You can customize your Leadboxes with additional content widgets. Here’s how:

Click the widgets icon in the left-hand sidebar.
Choose a widget and drag it onto your Leadbox.

You can learn more about each widget here: Drag & Drop Widgets.

TIP: Be careful not to add too much content to your Leadbox. Typically, the highest-converting Leadboxes are laser-focused—more in-depth content is better-suited for a landing page.

Moving and deleting elements

Hover over any widget to move or delete it. A blue shaded area will indicate where your widget will move as you drag and drop, which is shown below.

Setting up your form

Each Leadbox includes a form widget by default. In most cases, you’ll want to customize the following parts of your form:

your integration settings: where you’re sending lead data
your form fields: what information you collect from visitors
follow-up: what happens after someone submits your form

For details on customizing and setting up your form widget, please see our article here: The Form Widget.

Publishing your Leadbox

Now that you’ve created your Leadbox, it’s time to publish it to your site. Click Publish in the top-right corner of the Leadbox builder to explore the available options. For a full guide on publishing your Leadbox, please see Publishing Your Leadboxes
