Landing pages are perfect for launching a new product or service. By hitting that sweet spot between a full website and a social media post, landing pages focus the attention where you want it—your awesome new thing—without visitors getting lost in a sea of content.

Landing pages aren't just for looks. They're a powerhouse for lead generation.

You can use them to capture new leads, add visitors to email lists, and build excitement for your new offering. Typically, lead capture and email campaigns require a lot of manual work, like copying leads to your customer relationship manager (CRM) and email newsletter apps, but Zapier can automate that work for you.

Our automatic workflows, which we call Zaps, send information from one app to another, so you can stop worrying about copy/pasting and focus your attention on a successful launch.

To get started with a Zap template—a pre-made Zap—just click on it, and we'll guide you through customizing it. You can read more about setting up Zaps here.

You'll need a Zapier account to use the workflows in this piece. If you don't have an account yet, it's free to get started.

Send a personalized message to new contacts

Your landing page's best asset is a form where visitors can sign up to learn more about your product. Once someone signs up, it's a nice gesture to send a response thanking them for their interest. It also serves as confirmation that their sign-up was processed.

Use these workflows to send a personalized email to a new contact. Personalized messages make your business stand out and can encourage visitors to become customers.

        Add contacts to an email list
