Hi I'm back! :)
All I want to do is create a simple web to lead type html page that a user fills in and his/her details get captured by the system as an opportunity/lead. I have no idea where to start so a few pointers/tips would be appreciated. The webpage will be on a seperate server as Splendid so has to be a flat html post or get or whatever. Not worried about security at this point, although obviously dont want to expose splendid...
Thanks in advance & I'll post my journey here for others who might need it.
SP
Ok splendid exposes a web services interface, so the logical thing would be to use that to stick things in from external pages...
eg http://mysplendidurl/soap.asmx gives you a list of the operations supported
Now to figure out how to make my little page call the operation...
Ok it was easy enough to insert a record directly into the leads table using a FormView... but I'm concerned that because the row isn't complete it might not work as expected when converting a lead to a contact for example. As suggested calling the SP is preferable...
Now to figure out how to send parameters to the stored procedure directly
Is there a straight forward way to submit a web lead to SplendidCRM from a 3rd party site that is NOT on the same system?
