Formstack Forms for lead capture
My client is looking to capture leads through a variety of forms, including contact forms, newsletter signups, and event registrations. They also want to be able to integrate the form data with their CRM (Salesforce) and marketing automation tool (HubSpot).If you have used Formstack Forms in a similar capacity, I would love to hear your thoughts on the following:
1. How easy is it to set up and customize forms in Formstack?
2. How well does Formstack integrate with third-party tools, especially Salesforce and HubSpot?

How do you compare Drift to Hubspot?
Our contract with Drift is up for renewal next year, and I believe the cost may be too high for the value they provide. As we currently utilize Salesforce, Drift, and Autopilot, it would be beneficial to have these tools integrated into a single platform.
Posted by Felix PhillipsApr 10, 2023
Drift specializes in conversational marketing tools like chatbots, live chat, and email marketing to provide personalized experiences and accelerate the sales cycle while HubSpot offers a wider range of tools for inbound marketing, sales, and customer service, including email marketing, social media management, lead management, and CRM, along with robust analytics and reporting features.

Anyone familiar with EngageBay for email campaigns?
I have around 10,000 old leads from Facebook that I would like to revive, but it appears that most marketing platforms charge $300-$400 for that quantity of accounts. In my opinion, this seems quite unreasonable.Nevertheless, I stumbled upon this site which is significantly more affordable. However, compared to the higher prices in the industry, I am wondering if there is some hidden flaw with this website, or if they are simply trying to gain an advantage through volume?

Posted by Emily WoodwardMar 27, 2023
EngageBay appears to be a reliable and affordable option for email campaigns. According to their website, they offer affordable pricing plans for businesses of all sizes, starting at $8.99 per user per month, which includes email marketing features.
