Integrate Elementor Forms in a headless WordPress environment with Salesforce

Integrate Elementor Forms in a headless WordPress environment with Salesforce

In a headless WordPress environment, the frontend of the website is decoupled from the backend and is typically built using JavaScript libraries and flat HTML. In this setup, Elementor Forms can be used to create forms on the frontend while Salesforce can be used to store and manage the data collected by the form.

The two methods below, using JavaScript and the Salesforce Web-to-Lead feature, can both be used to integrate forms created with Elementor Forms with Salesforce in a headless WordPress environment. The JavaScript method involves making a call to an Apex method using the Salesforce JavaScript library when the form is submitted, which then creates a new record in Salesforce. The Web-to-Lead feature, on the other hand, allows you to create a form on your website that automatically creates a new Lead record in Salesforce when the form is submitted.

To implement these methods, you will need to add the Salesforce JavaScript library to your website and create an Apex class and method that will create a new record in Salesforce. You will also need to add the generated code from Salesforce Web-to-Lead form to your website where the form is located.


Integrating a form created with Elementor Forms with Salesforce using JavaScript:

  • Create a form using Elementor Forms on your website.
  • Download the “Force.com JavaScript Remoting” library from the Salesforce Developer website.
  • Add the downloaded library to your website.
  • Create an Apex class and method that will create a new record in Salesforce. This method should be marked as “remote” and should take the form data as input.
  • In your JavaScript code, use the Salesforce library to make a call to the Apex method when the form is submitted. Pass the form data as an argument to the method call.
  • In the Apex method, use the Salesforce API to create a new record with the form data.

Integrating a form created with Elementor Forms with Salesforce using the Web-to-Lead feature:

  • Create a form using Elementor Forms on your website.
  • Go to your Salesforce account, navigate to the “Leads” section, and then click on the “Web-to-Lead” button.
  • Fill in the fields on the form to create the fields you want to capture on the lead.
  • Click on the “Create” button and it will generate the HTML code for the form.
  • Add the generated code to your website where the form is located.
  • When a user submits the form, it will automatically create a new Lead record in Salesforce.
