Adding Buttons, Dropdowns & Selection Fields

Selection fields let leads choose from predefined options instead of typing. LeadCapture supports radio-style buttons, dropdown menus, checkboxes, and several pre-populated dropdown types. This article explains how to add and configure each one.

Buttons (Single-Select and Multi-Select)

Buttons are the most popular field type for lead quizzes. Each option appears as a clickable card that leads tap to make their selection.

Adding a Buttons Field

1. Select a step in the builder, then click the Add Fields tab.
2. Click Buttons from the Choice category.
3. Click the new field to open its settings.

Configuring Options

• Each option has a label (what the lead sees) and a value (what gets submitted in the lead data).
• Click Add Option to add more choices.
• Use the up and down arrows to reorder options.
• Click the trash icon to remove an option.

Option Icons

You can add an icon to each button option to make your funnel more visual and engaging:

• Choose from a library of icons or use an emoji.
• Set the icon color and position (left or right of the label text).

Button Layout

Control how buttons are displayed using the Columns setting:

• 1 Column – Full-width buttons stacked vertically. Best for longer option labels.
• 2 Columns – Options in a two-column grid. Good for 4 to 6 short options.
• 3 Columns – Compact grid layout. Best for icon-heavy options with short labels.

Multi-Select Mode

By default, buttons are single-select (like radio buttons). To let leads select more than one option, enable Multi-Select in the field settings. When multi-select is enabled, leads can check multiple options before proceeding.

Auto-Advance

For single-select buttons on a step with only one field, the form automatically advances to the next step when the lead taps an option. This creates a smooth, app-like experience without requiring a "Continue" button click.

Dropdown (Custom Options)

The Dropdown field displays a list of options in a collapsible menu. It works well when you have many options (more than six) and want to save vertical space.

1. Add a Dropdown field from the Choice category.
2. Add your options with labels and values, just like buttons.
3. Set a placeholder to guide the lead (e.g., "Select your state").

Pre-Populated Dropdowns

LeadCapture includes several dropdown types that come pre-loaded with data, so you do not need to enter options manually:

These fields are ready to use immediately after adding them to a step. The State dropdown includes a setting to switch between full state names (e.g., "California") and abbreviations (e.g., "CA").

Checkbox

The Checkbox field displays a single checkbox with a label. Common uses include:

• Consent statements ("I agree to receive communications")
• Terms and conditions acknowledgment
• Simple yes/no questions

When paired with the Required toggle, the lead must check the box before they can proceed.

Per-Option Routing

Buttons and dropdown fields support per-option routing, which lets you send leads to different steps based on what they select. For example, if a lead selects "Not Interested," you can route them directly to the thank you step, while other options continue to the next qualifying question.

To set up per-option routing, open the field settings and look for the Routing dropdown next to each option. Select the destination step for that option. See also: Conditional Logic and Flow Routing.

Outbound Links

Button options can also redirect leads to an external URL instead of continuing to the next step. This is useful for disqualification routing, affiliate referrals, or sending leads to product-specific pages. To configure an outbound link, enable the Outbound Link checkbox on the option and enter the destination URL.

Pro Tips

• For lead quizzes, use buttons for the first few steps with qualifying questions. They are visually engaging and produce the highest engagement rates.
• Add icons to button options to boost click-through rates. A small visual cue helps leads make faster decisions.
• Keep option labels short and clear. Aim for 2 to 5 words per option.
• Use the webhook field name to control how option values appear in your lead data. For example, set the webhook field name to coverage_type so your CRM receives the data with a meaningful key.
