Typically, online businesses receive sales leads from registration forms, contact forms, etc. in the form of emails. Transaction confirmations are also sent via email. Plus, getting the form data as emails is a very convenient way to collect user responses very quickly. For example, if you want to survey your customers, subscribers, or clients, you setup an online form containing fields for each survey question. You send out the emails and ask the participants to complete the form. The forms start pouring in and you need to process the results quickly. Receiving a lot of web forms through email is a healthy sign for any online business. But when you have hundreds of responses per day, processing them manually can be very challenging.

Think how much time it would take you to manually extract email form data and place it into an Excel spreadsheet, or MS Access database, if you receive hundreds of forms submitted via email daily. It can literally take all your working time. Even if you have an employee allocated to manually copy-paste the leads into the database, the process of distributing leads to the sales team and reaching the prospects is slow.

But you can automate your email form processing and reach your prospects quickly with the use of web form processing software. There are a couple of softwares which will run every time an email is received. Just download a program, install it onto your computer and let it automatically extract data from email forms and convert email form data into database records. Look for the software which works well with widely used databases such as an MS Access, MySQL, MS SQL, Oracle or other ODBC compatible databases. Better if the program can send personalized auto response emails to your prospects and forward emails. This feature will help you distribute received email forms among your team members and avoid any delay in reaching the prospects.
