i have a pdf order form that i would like to use to submit web2lead data to my production org, i have it setup in sandbox and have gotten all fields to submit properly except for recordType which is setup the same way as oid; in a hidden field that submits with the other fields. i have gone through a few other articles such as this success story. where the user places the recordtypeID inside a hidden field. i have also changed the Lead Settings to "Keep the Existing record Type" on advisement of This Salesforce Article.

is there something else i am missing? am i not submitting the form correctly? or am i missing the correct field name? its something small im sure!

Form:

Based on your screenshot, it looks like your form isn't coded correctly. The field name is recordType, not recordtype. Always pay attention to capitalization when creating a web-to-lead or web-to-case form.

  • @BryanCerrati No, all of the field names must be precisely capitalized or it won't work. Note that, for example, tour_description__c is also not written correctly. You need to use the web-to-lead form generator to get the correct names. Custom fields are typically written with a name/id of 00NXXXXXXXXXXXX (X is a placeholder value here), also case-sensitive.

  • so if i change the field to its generated field name then recordType will work? because they work correctly now.

  • @BryanCerrati If you're not using the generated form, you cannot be assured that anything else will work in the future.
