An enquiry on a franchise's own pages or its widget

Workflow 04 · Franchise site · Enquiry form · Widget

Each franchise has its own pages on the brand site, and its enquiry form can also sit on another website as a small widget.

Either way the enquiry belongs to that franchise from the start: the address of the page decides, never anything typed in the form.

The system does this
  • Stamp the enquiry with the franchise from the page address before saving; nothing sent from the form can choose the franchise, the stage, the assignee or the priority
  • Save it with Website as its source and Normal priority, and email the visitor an acknowledgement

The system does this
  • Apply the same checks as the direct form: required fields, the spam trap and the limit of enquiries per hour
  • Tell the host website only the form's height and that it was sent, never what was typed
  • Tag the enquiry with its widget and update the widget's count and last enquiry
