When setting up the form inside the form builder, please be sure to map all required fields for Deal:

  • Currency, e.g. use a hidden field that contains usd or eur.
  • Owner (ID), e.g. use a hidden field that contains 1.
  • Value ($ amount), e.g. use a hidden field that contains 500.00 or a regular input/select that allows the user to select the value, etc.

If you want the form submitter to automatically (or optionally) be opted into an ActiveCampaign mailing list, use a hidden field or select, radio, checkbox, etc that contains the ID of the mailing list you wish to have them subscribed to. Then map that field to the Mailing List ID field under Contact.

​Mapping to Contact Tags3.9.2+

When mapping to Contact Tags, you can use any type of Freeform field you like, allowing for the most flexibility for all workflows. If you wish to have the user select their own tags, Freeform will automatically map over option value(s) from option fields such as checkbox groups, select fields, etc. If you wish to have tags forced upon submitters, you can include a Hidden or Invisible field type and include tag(s) in the value in the form builder. When specifying multiples, separate each with a semi-colon (;), e.g. basic;premium;premium plus;preferred.
