Feature Highlights


Dynamic Form Builder

The Form Builder provides a full drag-and-drop interface where administrators can add text fields, radio groups, checkboxes, number inputs, file uploads, date fields, Google Places input, sliders, star ratings, and more. Each field is configurable, allowing teams to create tailored user experiences that suit any type of lead, feedback, or survey workflow.

Build multi-page forms with complete flexibility.
Forms can be structured across multiple pages, and each page can be duplicated, reordered, or copied to other forms effortlessly. This makes it easy to create long, step-based journeys while maintaining a clean and organized layout. Rich text editing is also supported, enabling custom messages, formatted content, and embedded instructions within any step of the form.

Control logic, formulas, outcomes, and data mapping—all in one place.
Dedicated tabs allow admins to set conditional logic, build formulas, define outcomes, and map fields directly to CRM or partner workflows. The system ensures every action—whether showing a field, calculating a value, or triggering a result—is handled automatically based on user input. From simple forms to advanced multi-stage logic, the builder gives teams the power to create anything with precision and speed.

AI Form Generation

Create complete forms instantly using natural language.
The platform includes a dedicated “Generate Form With AI” feature, accessible directly from the top action bar when creating or editing a form. With one click, admins open a clean, simple popup where they can enter a prompt describing the form they want to build — no technical knowledge or manual configuration required.

Once the prompt is submitted, the system processes the request and automatically refreshes the page with a fully generated form. All fields, pages, and layouts appear instantly inside the builder, exactly as if they were manually assembled. This includes text inputs, dropdowns, number fields, buttons, headers, rich text blocks, and more — fully arranged and ready for editing.

The AI engine not only creates the form structure but also pre-fills logical field labels, placeholders, and basic arrangements based on the prompt. Admins can then switch to the Design, Logic, Formulas, Outcomes, or Mappings tabs to further refine the generated form. The process eliminates repetitive setup time and allows complex multi-step forms to be created in seconds instead of hours.

This seamless, prompt-driven workflow transforms form building into a fast, intuitive experience — ideal for teams who need to launch new forms quickly, experiment with variations, or generate forms dynamically based on changing business needs.

 

Multi-Layered Reporting for Complete Lead Visibility

Lead Automation System offers a structured reporting system that breaks down lead activity into clear, focused categories such as Leads by Partner, Leads by Status, Leads by City, and Leads by Region. Each report provides a dedicated view, allowing teams to understand performance from different operational angles. Whether monitoring partner efficiency or analyzing regional demand, every section delivers precise, real-time insights.

These report views help uncover patterns that would be difficult to spot through raw data alone. Teams can evaluate how different cities are performing, identify regions generating the most leads, track status movement across the funnel, and review dropped leads to understand potential gaps. This layered breakdown ensures every stakeholder can access exactly the information they need without navigating through cluttered datasets.

Together, these focused reporting modules create a powerful analytics environment that supports both high-level decision-making and granular performance tracking. From evaluating city-level engagement to studying partner response quality, the system equips teams with actionable intelligence that drives smoother workflows, smarter routing, and consistent improvements across the entire lead ecosystem.
