After you import your form, you can map or link fields between your external web form and Acoustic Campaign for each web form in the web form tree.
Note: You are only required to map the Submit button. You do not have to map other fields.
Field mapping
Go to the Standard Web Form Properties panel, which can be found on the Manage Site tab of your landing page.
- Click the .html page in the web form tree and then select the web form.
- Click the Field Mapping plus (+) icon to expand the section.
- Select a page in the site or URL you want to map a field to.
- Click Save.
Make changes to the form fields after they have been mapped
You can make changes to the form fields after the fields after they have been mapped. The HTML is re-parsed in Campaign, so you do not have to re-import the file with changes. Make your changes and then click the Update button.
For example, to remove a field, such as the Zip field in the image. You can go to Source view and delete the code. Then, click the Update button and you will see it is removed from the Field Mapping section.
Add new database fields after importing the form
- In your external WYSIWYG editor, for example Dreamweaver, copy (or hand code) your HTML field. In Acoustic Campaign, open your web form.
- Paste the new field into your form's Source View.
- In Field Mapping, click Update and then map the field to its corresponding field in your database.
- Save the Landing Page.
