Existing contact form

Keep your current contact form and send its notification emails to localbot.

Use this path when your website already has a contact form. You do not need to rebuild the form on day one.

localbot has its own email address. Add your unique localbot address as another form notification recipient, or forward those notification emails to localbot. Future website inquiries can then enter the same localbot workflow: owner SMS, missing-detail follow-up when useful, and handoff summary.

Add localbot as a recipient

  1. Open Dashboard > Lead source.
  2. Create a connection address in Use your existing contact form.
  3. Add that address as a recipient in your form plugin, website builder, or mailbox forwarding rule.
  4. Submit your actual website form once.
  5. Confirm that localbot received the notification email.
  6. Go live when payment, owner phone, proof, and consent steps are complete.

Required form behavior

Your existing form should collect:

  • customer name
  • phone number
  • message or request details
  • consent or notice text that allows SMS follow-up about the inquiry

Email is useful, but a phone number is what lets localbot send SMS follow-up when the request needs more context.

Suggested SMS notice copy

By submitting this form, you agree that we may contact you by text message about your request. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out.

Preview and live behavior

Preview and website-form tests do not contact the actual customer. After Go live, future forwarded form emails can become real localbot leads.
