WhatsApp Forms (Flows) for Lead Capture and Bookings

Replace long back-and-forth questions with a short form inside the chat. With Meta's WhatsApp Flows, customers pick options, enter their details and submit without leaving the conversation. CampaigningTool helps you build the form, send it in a message and pass the answers to your team or CRM.

What You Can Build with WhatsApp Flows

Design structured form experiences using Meta's supported interactive components.

Multi-Screen Forms

Build forms with several screens, drop-downs, checkboxes, radio buttons and date pickers. Guide users through step-by-step inputs while staying entirely inside WhatsApp.

Fewer Steps for Customers

Customers fill in one short form instead of answering one question at a time in the chat. Streamlined inputs make responses quick and effortless.

Answers Sent to Your Tools

Send submissions directly to Google Sheets, Zoho, Salesforce, HubSpot, or to a custom webhook endpoint to notify sales agents or update records.

What to Ask in a WhatsApp Form, and What Not To

Ask only for what you need. Don't ask for full card numbers, bank account numbers, ID card numbers or other sensitive identifiers, and keep medical details out of forms. Meta's Business Messaging Policy applies to forms too. Tell customers why you're asking, and only message people who agreed to hear from you.

Recommended in Forms: Contact details, appointment times, branch selections, feedback ratings, service preferences.
Keep Out of Forms: Full credit cards, national ID numbers, bank passwords, medical diagnosis or symptom histories.
