Contact form lead to CRM deal in under a minute

As soon as the form fires, the agent creates or updates a HubSpot contact with every submitted field, scores the inquiry by company size or keyword in the message, creates a deal record for high-intent submissions, and posts an alert to the #new-leads Slack channel. The sales rep has a qualified CRM record within about a minute of the visitor clicking Submit.

Savings

What your team gets back — two angles: what you stop doing manually, and what that's worth.

Without Actionist

What you do manually today

With Actionist

What your agent runs for you

  • Sales
    45 min / week
    Manual lead review from inbox

    Reps log into the Elfsight dashboard, scroll through form submissions, copy details into HubSpot manually, and hope nothing was missed while they were in meetings.

    Sales Agent
    0 min
    Agent routes every submission to CRM automatically

    When a form submission arrives, the agent creates a HubSpot contact and deal within about a minute — the rep opens their CRM to a ready queue, never the widget dashboard.

  • Marketing
    30 min / week
    Weekly manual export to email platform

    Marketing exports newsletter sign-ups as CSV from Elfsight weekly, imports the file into Brevo, and resolves any duplicate contacts — a 30-minute exercise every Monday.

    Marketing Agent
    0 min
    Agent syncs sign-ups in near real time

    Each subscription form submission triggers an automatic Brevo contact creation — the email list is current within about a minute of the sign-up, with no exports or imports.

  • Customer Support
    40 min / week
    Help form checked manually each morning

    The support team checks the Elfsight form inbox every morning, manually creates Zendesk tickets for each new submission, and classifies priority by reading the message.

    Customer Support Agent
    0 min
    Agent creates and routes tickets on submission

    The support agent creates a Zendesk ticket with priority classification within about a minute of each help form submission — no inbox checking, no manual ticket creation.

  • Human Resources
    35 min / week
    Applications collected manually from dashboard

    HR checks the Elfsight job application form weekly, copies applicant details into the recruitment spreadsheet, and emails acknowledgements to each candidate individually.

    Human Resources Agent
    0 min
    Agent logs applicants and sends receipts automatically

    Each application submission creates a tracker row and fires an acknowledgement email within about a minute — hiring managers have a real-time applicant list without HR's manual effort.

  • Finance
    8 min / week
    Monthly submission export for compliance

    Finance manually exports form submissions from Elfsight at month end for compliance archiving — remembering to do this, finding the right date filter, and uploading the file takes 30 minutes each cycle.

    Finance Agent
    0 min
    Agent archives submissions automatically on schedule

    On the first of every month, the agent exports the previous month's form data and stores it in the compliance folder — zero manual steps, consistent timing, defensible audit trail.

  • Operations
    20 min / week
    New widgets manually connected to integrations

    When the web team deploys a new Elfsight form widget, someone on ops manually registers the webhook, adds it to the inventory doc, and confirms the connection — a step that often gets skipped for weeks.

    Operations Agent
    0 min
    Agent auto-detects and wires new widgets

    The operations agent detects new widgets on a scheduled check, registers the webhook, and updates the inventory automatically — no new form widget is ever left disconnected from the pipeline.

  • Legal
    15 min / week
    Manual GDPR erasure across widget submissions

    Legal manually searches each Elfsight form for a requester's email, deletes each matching entry one by one, and writes a manual log — a process that takes 30+ minutes per request and is prone to missed entries.

    Legal Agent
    0 min
    Agent searches, deletes, and logs erasures automatically

    The legal agent searches all connected form widgets, deletes every matching submission, exports a deletion log to the compliance archive, and emails a confirmation — a complete erasure in minutes with a full audit trail.

Connect

How to plug Elfsight into Actionist

Pick the connection method that suits your environment.

Connect Actionist to Elfsight using your widget's unique API token. Each Elfsight form widget generates its own token, giving Actionist permission to read submissions and access widget data.

1
Open the Elfsight dashboard

Log in to elfsight.com and navigate to the widget you want to connect — your Contact Form or Form Builder widget.

2
Copy the API token

Open the widget's Integrations panel. Each widget generates a unique token. Copy it — do not share it, as it grants read access to that widget's submissions.

3
Paste into Actionist

Paste the token into the API token field and click Test connection. Actionist reads one recent submission to verify the handshake.

FAQs

Questions about Elfsight + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to Elfsight?
Go to the Apps tab in Actionist, find Elfsight, and click Connect. You'll be asked for the API token associated with your form widget — find it inside the Elfsight dashboard under your widget's Integrations panel. Each widget generates its own unique token. Once you paste the token and click Test connection, Actionist reads one recent submission to confirm the handshake. Connection takes under two minutes and requires no coding.
Does Elfsight have real-time triggers, or does Actionist poll for new submissions?
Elfsight supports webhook-based integration — when a form submission arrives, Elfsight sends a POST payload to a URL you configure. In Actionist this is exposed as the 'New Form Submission' trigger, which fires within about a minute of a visitor submitting any connected form widget. This is a push-based event rather than polling, so your agents react quickly without repeatedly hitting the API.
Which Elfsight widgets work with Actionist?
Actionist's current integration focuses on Elfsight's form widgets — the Contact Form, Form Builder, and any survey or feedback form that generates an API token. Elfsight's non-form widgets (social feeds, review aggregators, popups, countdown timers, chatbots) do not expose a submission event, so they cannot trigger Actionist workflows today. The integration is most powerful for any widget whose primary output is a user-submitted data record.
Can Actionist connect multiple Elfsight form widgets at the same time?
Yes — each Elfsight form widget generates its own API token, and you can connect multiple tokens in Actionist. Each connected widget appears as a separate data source, so you can build separate agent tasks for your contact form, your pricing inquiry form, and your event sign-up form without them interfering with each other. The New Form Submission trigger can be scoped to a specific widget token so you always know which form fired the event.
How do I route Elfsight form leads to HubSpot or another CRM automatically?
Set up an agent task with the Elfsight 'New Form Submission' trigger and connect a HubSpot 'Create or update contact' action. Map the form fields (name, email, message) to HubSpot contact properties. The agent will create a new contact in HubSpot within about a minute of each submission. You can add conditions — for example, only create a deal record when the 'Company size' field is above a threshold — to filter which submissions get full pipeline treatment.
Can Actionist handle GDPR erasure requests for Elfsight form data?
Yes. Use the 'Delete Form Submission' action to permanently remove a specific submission from Elfsight by its ID. The legal agent workflow typically starts with a trigger from your data request intake process, calls 'Search Form Submissions' to find the matching entry by email, then calls 'Delete Form Submission' for each matching result, and finally logs the deletion details to your compliance system. This gives you a defensible audit trail for every erasure without manual dashboard work.
Does Actionist work with Elfsight widgets embedded on WordPress, Shopify, or Webflow?
Yes — Elfsight widgets embed on any platform (WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, custom HTML) via a single script tag, and the API connection in Actionist operates at the Elfsight account and widget level, not at the platform level. It does not matter which CMS or website builder hosts the widget. As long as the widget has an API token and the webhook integration is active, Actionist can receive submissions regardless of where the form is embedded.
What field data does Actionist receive from an Elfsight form submission?
Actionist receives everything the visitor filled in, structured as a JSON payload: each field's label, the submitted value, the submission timestamp, and the widget ID that captured it. If your form has custom fields — dropdown choices, file upload indicators, checkbox groups — those come through too, labelled exactly as configured in the Elfsight widget editor. You can map any field to a downstream action parameter, letting your agent route, filter, or enrich based on the full response data.
