In this article, we explain how to add a request form to your website. Leads captured through this form will automatically be added as a request to SafariOffice. You can customize the fields of the form with specific questions, set them as required or not. Put a link on your website to the form or embed the form on your website. Of course, creative users can also use the form for other marketing activity like emails, landing pages or social posts.
