With Formaloo, you can build a complete scoring engine using variables, conditional logic, On Submit automations, and real-time dashboards. This turns your lead capture form into a full qualification workflow that routes the right leads to the right people immediately.

Step 1 – Create Your Lead Capture Form

You can start from scratch or use Lead generation form and custom CRM template from the Template Gallery.
To accelerate creation, you can also use Magic Create. Try:

Prompt:
“Lead scoring form with qualification fields, intent questions, budget ranges, and automated scoring variables.”

Your form should include fields such as:

• Full name, email, company name
• Company size, industry
• Buying timeline
• Budget
• Use case or pain point
• Lead source
• Engagement indicators (e.g., product interest, feature selection)

💡 Tip: Use multi-step pages to separate Profile → Intent → Needs.

Step 2 – Add Variable Fields to Calculate Scores

Formaloo’s variable fields allow you to assign or deduct points automatically.
Common variable categories:

• score_intent
• score_profile
• score_engagement
• score_total

Example rules:

• If “Buying timeline = This month” → Add 20 to score_intent
• If “Company size > 200 employees” → Add 15 to score_profile
• If “Budget = $10k+” → Add 10 to score_profile

You can then sum them into score_total.

Step 3 – Categorize Leads Automatically Using On Submit Logic

Once the score is calculated, use On Submit logic to classify leads:

• Hot Lead: score_total ≥ 60
• Warm Lead: 35–59
• Cold Lead: < 35

On Submit automations let you:

• Update the “lead status” field
• Send internal notifications
• Redirect to a meeting scheduler (e.g., Calendly)
• Fire a webhook to your CRM
• Assign leads to the right sales rep

Examples:

• Hot leads: Instant email + Slack to sales
• Warm leads: Personalized nurture email
• Cold leads: Add to long-term drip campaigns
• Enterprise-fit leads: Redirect to a booking page
• Non-qualified leads: Light-touch thank-you email

This ensures your scoring logic receives the cleanest, richest data possible.
