Contact forms have come a long way since their inception. Five years ago a contact form was a novel way to passively collect inbound leads using your website. Classically a contact form would ask for someone’s name, their email address and phone number.

Over the years technology has improved and our use of contact forms has evolved with it. Enter the age of the modern contact form! Contact forms can do so much more than simply collect basic information from interested parties.

A modern contact form can even collect information that hasn’t even been entered by the user, like the user’s geographic information, where the user has messaged from (Geo IP tracking) or the browser/device they used to fill out the form.

Better yet, you can now use contact forms to automate otherwise tedious tasks like manually building a mailing list, or adding new client information to your accounting software or CRM.
