  2. Go to guide Settings
  3. Navigate to Lead Capture
  4. Add the fields you need
  5. Mark fields as required or optional

Best practices

Keep it short

Every additional field reduces conversion. Only ask for what you truly need.

Recommended: 2-3 fields max - Email (required) - Name (optional) - One qualifying question (optional)

Make fields optional when possible

Required fields create friction. If you don’t absolutely need it, make it optional.

Use clear labels

Don’t make readers guess what you want:

  • Good: “Work email”
  • Bad: “Email”
  • Good: “Company name”
  • Bad: “Organization”

Accessing form data

View and export all captured data from your dashboard:

  1. Go to your guide
