Preguntas frecuentes
-
Where do I find my Company ID and API Key?
-
Log in to your LeadMachine dashboard at https://app.leadmachine.fyi and go to Settings > Company > WordPress Plugin to find your credentials.
-
Does this work with Gravity Forms?
-
Yes! Version 2.0+ includes full Gravity Forms integration. You can map any Gravity Form fields to LeadMachine and automatically send submissions as leads.
-
Can I use multiple forms on the same site?
-
Absolutely. You can use the native
[leadmachine_form]shortcode on multiple pages with different settings, and/or connect multiple Gravity Forms – each with their own field mappings and tags. -
How does spam protection work?
-
The plugin uses two methods: a honeypot field (invisible to humans but bots fill it) and time-based validation (forms submitted too quickly are rejected). No CAPTCHA required.
-
Will this work with my theme?
-
Yes! The plugin is designed to work with any WordPress theme. Form styling is minimal and adapts to your theme’s styles.
-
Is the form submission secure?
-
Yes. All submissions use WordPress nonces for CSRF protection and are transmitted securely to your LeadMachine account via HTTPS.
