Salesforce - the fantastic online CRM solution for businesses small and large - allows you to easily create forms which will integrate with a website to collect data from your visitors and create the leads instantly.

For this guide, I'll assume that you are au fait with creating the actual forms themselves, so go ahead and make the form with Salesforce and save it as an HTML file (ending in .htm or .html).

What you'll need:

• HTML Salesforce form
• MosModule Joomla plugin

1. Create a new static content item to use as the thankyou page.
2. Search on your site for that item, load it up and copy the web address
3. Turn off static item searching by going to the Mambot menu, Site Mambots, and clicking on "Search Content" then change the "Static Content NonMenu" to "No" (This will prevent people from stumbling across the thankyou page you just made, while tracking that page as a goal in Google Analytics)
4. Open up the HTML form in a text editor (Notepad in Windows is fine) and change this line (near the top) by pasting the URL you copied in:
   <input type=hidden name="retURL" value="PASTE ENTIRE URL HERE">
5. Upload your HTML form as a file to your Joomla server using your preferred method (FTP, Media Manager, JCE File Manager etc) and note its location
6. Install the fabulous MosModule plugin for Joomla
7. Publish the MosModule plugin
8. Create a new content item or edit the one you'd like the form to appear in, and use the following code to insert the form:
   {mosmodule grabpage=http://www.domain.com/folder/formname.html}
   obviously changing the location as appropriate
9. Link that content item to a menu and you're ready to test it!
