Asking for a form
There is no form builder to configure. Tell the agent what you want to collect:The one choice that matters: joining, or answering
Every form is one of two things, and the agent decides from what you asked for.
This is why a survey does not quietly turn respondents into subscribers, and why answering a
survey twice does not overwrite the first answer.
If the agent gets it wrong, just say so — “the feedback form shouldn’t create subscribers” —
and it will change the form’s declaration.
What you can ask for
A form can carry up to 12 fields. Anything a visitor submits that the form did not declare
is ignored rather than stored.
Asking for consent
Ask for a consent checkbox when you plan to email people later:Reading what you collected
Open your Site in the builder and choose Settings.- Leads — everyone who joined a list from this Site
- Collections — every other form’s answers, one collection per form
Everything a form collects lives with the Site, not with your agent’s account list. Someone
who joins your waitlist does not become a BoostGPT account, does not appear under your agent’s
Subscribers, and does not use up your subscriber allowance — they are a contact on your list,
and yours to export and email as you like. People who actually talk to your agent, by chat or by
email, still become subscribers as they always have.
Forms work on the preview as well as the published Site, so you can test one before you
publish. Preview submissions are stored exactly like real ones — so if you are testing on a Site
that already has real signups, use an address you can recognise later.
Where “source” comes from
Add UTM parameters to the links you share, and the source is recorded automatically:Attribution is first touch. If someone arrives from BetaList and later signs up again from
a plain link, they stay attributed to BetaList — the second visit does not overwrite where they
originally came from.
Things worth knowing

You do not have to wait for a first submission. Publishing the Site registers every form it
declares, so you can confirm it is live and see “No submissions yet” rather than wondering
whether it worked.
Deleting a Site does not delete what it collected

The emails and answers survive, and stay in your export. Only the link back to the Site is lost,
and those rows show as Deleted Site.
Removing someone who asks
Removing someone who asks
Every row in Leads and Collections has a delete button. Deleting removes the address, the
answers and the consent record together, and raises
lead.deleted so an Automation can pass the
removal on to anywhere else you keep it.How much a Site can store

Each Site has its own record limit, set by your plan — the same ladder the subscriber limit
uses, from 100 on the free tier up to unlimited on Scale. Signups, survey answers and everything
else a form collects count toward it. Resubmitting a signup form with the same address updates
that entry rather than using another slot.

Forms carry a hidden field that real visitors never fill in, submissions are rate limited per
visitor and per Site, and throwaway email domains are refused. A form the Site never declared
is rejected outright.
Forms work without JavaScript

The form posts normally, so it still works if scripts fail to load. After submitting, the
visitor returns to the same page with a success or error state the agent has built in.
Never ask the agent to store submissions in a file

Workspace files are part of your Site’s version history, so restoring an earlier version would
take collected data with it. Forms write to a collection instead, which is kept separately and
is never rolled back by a restore.
Getting told when something happens
Each of these raises an event you can use as an Automations trigger, or receive as a webhook:
Exactly one event fires per submission, so an Automation on
lead.created never runs for a survey
answer. Each carries the collection name, the email if one was given, and the answers themselves —
so one Automation can cover several forms and branch on which fired.
Recording who paid
BoostGPT is never part of your payment flow: your checkout link goes to your own provider, so a payment is something you tell us about rather than something we can see. Point your provider’s webhook at an Automation and add the Mark lead converted step:1
Create an Automation
Choose Incoming webhook as the trigger. Save it, and copy the URL it gives you.
2
Paste that URL into your payment provider
Stripe, Paddle, Gumroad, LemonSqueezy — anywhere that can call a webhook when someone pays.
3
Add the Mark lead converted step
Set email to wherever your provider puts the customer’s address —
{{data.object.customer_email}}
for Stripe, {{data.customer.email}} for Paddle, {{email}} for Gumroad. Optionally map the
amount and currency too.lead.converted, so you can chain a thank-you email
or anything else onto it. A provider that retries its webhook will not convert the same lead twice,
and a payment from someone who never joined your list is simply ignored.
