Fluent Forms

Fluent Forms is a WordPress plugin that lets you capture leads using forms for your website.

FunnelKit Automations integrates perfectly well with Fluent Forms. In order to work with the Fluent Forms, make sure you've installed the plugin on your WordPress site.

Let’s consider a scenario where a user submits a form and chooses a specific option provided in that form, we will send them a follow-up email.

So if they select “yes” for the question - ‘Are you interested in FunnelKit Automations?” - then we'll send an email informing them more about it.

Let's learn how to build this automation using Fluent Forms.
