What Is Formidable Highrise?
Formidable Highrise is developed by Formidable Forms and is an automation plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the automation category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for workflow optimization. The plugin acts as a direct conduit between your website’s data collection points and your central CRM storage.
It solves the problem of manual data entry by synchronizing form entries with Highrise contacts in real-time. This is built for business owners and marketing teams who need to turn form leads into actionable customer profiles without delay.
Formidable Highrise Features
The feature set is built around a reliable API connection between WordPress and the Highrise CRM platform.
Automated Lead Capture
Every time a visitor completes a form, the plugin sends that data directly to your Highrise account. You can configure specific forms to trigger this action, ensuring only relevant submissions become CRM contacts. This facilitates rapid follow-ups in your automation workflow.
Contact Database Management
The plugin helps you create a dedicated page for every user to track their specific form submissions and entries over time. By turning one-off leads into organized customers, the plugin streamlines the sales funnel. Highrise integration ensures that contact details are mapped correctly from form fields to CRM attributes.
Simple Global Configuration
Setup is handled through a global settings menu where you link your account via an API token. Once connected, adding a CRM action to any individual form is a matter of a few clicks. The plugin handles the background communication so you don’t have to write custom code.
