To some, they are a necessary evil. To some, they are just necessary. Presumably to some, they are just evil. But no matter what, sometimes the best way to get the right message to the right contact is to send through the trusty old contact form. The problem is, dealing with contact forms as part of your overall outreach workflow can be very clunky. You’ve got to manually find the right page, navigate to the site and away from your streamlined BuzzStream interface, copy your message into the field and then remember to actually update your contact once you’ve sent the dang thing.

Previously, you could only add email addresses, but now you can define a contact form when that makes more sense to use for outreach. Doing so is easy. First, just click into the recipient field. You’ll notice that there is now a “Contact Forms” section, making it easy to see when you’ve got a contact form available to use. In this new section, you’ll see any forms that BuzzStream has discovered or that you or your team have added. You can also add a new contact form to a contact right from here. Once you select a contact form, it will be added as the recipient for your contact.
