These are clearly seen in the picture below.
Create Custom Lead Form
You’ve got the freedom to create extra labels/ field on your lead capture form that will be shown on your webpage. By default 4 fields are already created i.e. name, email, number and message.

Lead Form Settings
In the next step, you can click on Lead Form Settings to manage it.

By default the Captcha is deactivated, you can activate it by putting it on and then click on save option.
Google Recaptcha site key & secret key
There is an additional option of Form Recaptcha that can be enabled from the form itself by clicking on the GOOGLE RECAPTCHA ON/OFF button as ON. Its advantage is that it will prevent any robotic interruptions on your service while keeping a security check through this recaptcha text.
Register for a new site to get a unique ReCaptcha site key & secret key.
A new page will be directed that will provide you with the unique alphanumeric Recaptcha site key & secret key so that you can copy it & add to your site.
Paste the copied keys into the lead xplode lead capture settings form & click on save to save the settings as shown below.
Social Autofill Setting
Turn the social autofill option ON. This setting panel demands you to put the Google & Facebook API on its setup in order to capture data directly from the visitor’s Google/facebook account & autofill it in the lead capture form.
How To generate google API?
It’s easy & quick. Follow here.
Open your GMAIL account & type the URL https://console.developers.google.com/ A new window opens which leads you to your google develops dashboard as follows:
3 Menu appears on the sidebar: Dashboard, Library & Credentials.
Goto Credentials header in the sidebar Create new credentials:
Under create new credentials you will get an option “0Auth consent screen” click on that & a new consent screen will open. Just Enter your product name & website domain name/ URL & it will automatically fetch your email address from GMAIL. It is pictorially represented below.
After clicking “Save” button. Your settings will be saved in this. Just after this click, on the credentials header & something like this appear.
Next is How to generate Facebook API?
Goto URL https://developers.facebook.com/apps & login with your facebook account.
A new window appears. In that space, just create a new App & get started.
When you’ve successfully created your new App with a name. A window with your product name will appear which shows you the Facebook App ID & Secret, just copy these two & save somewhere on the clipboard for further use on the social autofill header of the plugin.
Remember to put the App as public rom the App review settings.
After copying the App ID & Secret, goto settings sub header in the sidebar & set the domain name as shown below in the picture. This domain name is necessary as it will take the client back to this domain after exporting all the data from facebook via social autofill option of the lead capture. Also, you should choose a category for which purpose the app is to be created.
P.S: Always remember to put a Backslash(/) after the domain name without which the system will not return back to the mentioned site URL & will show error.
Remove www from the domains in App Domains and make sure you have made it public.
Go to Products -> Facebook Login, and set ‘Use Strict Mode for Redirect URIs’ to ‘No’, and put your domain into ‘Valid OAuth redirect URIs’
See below for screenshots of all my settings… Hope this helps! (make sure to like this post!!)
Now simply the saved Facebook & Google ID’s API’s & Secret keys can be pasted in the social autofill area of the plugin just as same as shown in the picture below.
Now the Social autofill field details are finally completed. Bingo!
You’re now just a step away from creating & sending bulk-email through your system.
