Lead Capture: Web to Lead How To?

Hi nunos,

Please send the logs of your EspoCRM instance. They may contain more detailed information. Also, please specify which method (script) you use to send leads.

This is how it worked for me:

Create the entry point -> /#Admin/leadCapture
With the payload fields that are to be used for transfer.

Then I created 2 files in the /public/contact folder.

index.php

PHP Code:

<html lang="de">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

<body>
 
<main>
  <div class="container py-6">
  <center>Mit einem * gekennzeichnet sind Pflichtfelder !</center>
   <form method="post" action="./send.php">
        <div class="p-5 mb-4 bg-light rounded-3">
            <div class="mb-3">
                <label for="emailAddress" class="form-label">E-Mail-Adresse*</label>
                <input type="email" class="form-control" id="emailAddress" name="emailAddress" placeholder="name@beispiel.de">
            </div>
            <div class="mb-3">
                <label for="firstName" class="form-label">Vorname*</label>
                <input type="text" class="form-control" id="firstName" name="firstName" placeholder="Vorname">
            </div>
            <div class="mb-3">
                <label for="lastName" class="form-label">Nachname*</label>
                <input type="text" class="form-control" id="lastName" name="lastName" placeholder="Nachname">
            </div>
            <div class="mb-3">
                <input type="hidden" class="form-control" id="assignedUserId" name="assignedUserId" value="6435bd1d21915631b">
            </div>
            <button type="submit" class="button btn-primary"> Teilnehmen</button>
        </div>
    </form>
</div>
</main>
 
</body>

</html>

and send.php

PHP Code:

<?php
    if(empty($_POST['emailAddress']) || empty($_POST['firstName']) || empty($_POST['lastName'])) {
        echo "Sie m&uuml;ssen alle erforderlichen Parameter angeben.";
  echo "<br>";
  echo "<br>";
  echo "<button onclick='history.back()'>Zur&uuml;ck</button>";
        die;
    }
  
    $params = array(
        'emailAddress'      => $_POST['emailAddress'],
        'firstName'         => $_POST['firstName'],
        'lastName'          => $_POST['lastName'],
        'assignedUserId'    => $_POST['assignedUserId']
  
    );
    $curl = curl_init();
    curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
      CURLOPT_URL           => "https://PATH-TO-CRM/api/v1/LeadCapture/CaptureID",
      CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER  => true,
      CURLOPT_ENCODING        => "",
      CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS     => 10,
      CURLOPT_TIMEOUT         => 30,
      CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION      => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
      CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST   => "POST",
      CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS    => json_encode($params),
      CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER    => array(
        "Cache-Control: no-cache",
        "Content-Type: application/json"
      ),
    ));
 
    $response = curl_exec($curl);
    $err    = curl_error($curl);
 
    curl_close($curl);
    echo "<center>Wir haben Ihre Anmeldung bekommen.<br><br>Bitte best&auml;tigen Sie dies in der E-Mail, die bei Ihnen gleich eingeht!</center>";  
?>

IMPORTANT!
The URL of the entry point must be specified for CURLOPT_URL.
And the payload fields must be formatted slightly differently.
You can see this under $params
So do not copy 1:1 from the entry point.

Maybe this will help you a little

Hi ChrisSka83, thanks for the code, it seems to be ok but i think there is something missing or wrong on my side...

I insert the URL provided on the Administration / Lead Capture in the CURLOPT_URL line but after checking my installation directory i can't find any api/v1/LeadCapture/... directory

EspoCRM version 8.1

*** Ok, it's working! there was a field marked as required on the Leads field list that was causing the problem. I have checked the logs and corrected the problem

From another post on the forum it seems that the problem is there since version 7.2
