Web Prospect reads the mail you receive from your Web site registration forms and creates contacts in ACT!, saving you hours of re-typing.
You simply define which Web fields correspond to which ACT! fields. Web Prospect can be set up to enter related data from the Web into ACT! Notes -- for example, products the customer is interested in, or where they saw your ad.
Can read email from Outlook or directly from its own mailbox (POP account).
Features you won't find in other ACT! web form products
- Email address duplicate checking (much better than Name & Company)
- POP support (download contacts straight into ACT!)
- No limit on the number of Web Forms
- Easy to use "Wizard style" interface
- No confusing templates
- Add contacts to specific groups based on which Form they used or checkboxes on a form.
Web Prospect, in my opinion, is the best Act add on for converting form data into Act contacts. It's easy to use, fast and efficient so it becomes a seamless integration. I would recommend it for all those looking to cut down the manual process of inputting data from forms on their website. "

Benefits
No Templates!
Web Prospect is not an template based system. It reads the field names on your web form data and understands what to do with each field. Because of this, you do not have to buy a more expensive version to get multiple form support. You also don't have to keep track of which registrations come from which web forms.
If we were rating software with a 10 star system (with 10 being the best), Web Prospect will get a 15! This product has just cut my data entry time to nearly zero. The product is easy to use, the manual is excellent and it is obvious that the programming efforts were well thought out. As a previous user of a competing product, and an ACT! user from the beginning (when it was called Contact Software) I can tell you that this is the best product for anyone who needs to retrieve contact information from a website. Thank you for giving me more time in my day.” "

Web Forms and Spam: a real problem with a real solution
Web Prospect POP has several advantages over email client (e.g. Outlook) based add-ons. One of the most important is reducing the amount of Spam that arrives in your Personal Inbox. Why is that? Well, most web forms have a hidden text field that has the email address to send the email to, thus avoiding changing the form handling script. Spammers scour the web for pages with email addresses, and these hidden fields aren't hidden from their email address grabbing tools. So, the second you have a form on the web, your spam load starts to increase.
Web Prospect POP can be set up to recognize mail from your web server and IGNORE 100% of the spam that is sent to it. And you save 15 minutes a day deleting useless spam.
