How to Manage Multiple Forms

With WhatsLead, you can create all 7 forms in one account. Each has its own link and slug. Organise them by name (e.g., "Gym-Membership", "Salon-Appointment", "Feedback-June") and share the right link for each situation.

Pro tip: Save each form link in a WhatsApp quick reply so you can share the right form with one tap, even mid-conversation.
