What’s great about the Investment Dominator is that it come out of the box with ready to go websites which include offer request and optin forms. However as your investment business grows you may want to create custom pages and add custom intake or optin forms to those pages and in this article we will discuss how you can do that.
Let’s explore how to create a custom page on your Buying Website that features a custom form for sellers to fill out and request offers. Okay, let’s get started.
Step 1: Create either a tracking status or tag in the ID for reporting later.
1A: For Tags Save an Advanced Search
Step 2: Create a Secure Webhook (with Zapier )To Push Data Into Your Investment Dominator:
2A: Template: Zapier Catch Hook -> Investment Dominator Land Record: https://zapier.com/shared/6bce85dfaae5aae98838c013a92930773608b1fd
Note: This requires the Pro Version of Zapier.
Step 3: Create A Custom Buying Site Landing Page, Confirmation Page, Error Page
3A: On the landing page add a form using the HTML Editor
3B: Use Script to connect to your Zapier webhook and direct the user your custom confirmation page or error page
Step 4: Create 3 Custom Pages
- Log in to your Investment Dominator account.
- Navigate to the ‘Customize’ section.
- Select ‘Custom Pages, Website Pages, and Posts’.
Step 5: Create a New Custom Page for Your Custom Form
- Click on ‘Add New Page‘.
- Choose the ‘Buying Site’ as the type of page to create.
- Name your page (e.g., ‘Custom Offer Request Form’).
- Set the page to ‘Public‘ or ‘Private’ based on your preference.
Step 6: Create a Success Page
- Click on ‘Add New Page‘.
- Choose the ‘Buying Site’ as the type of page to create.
- Name your page (e.g., ‘Successful’).
- Set the page to ‘Public’ or ‘Private‘ based on your preference.
- The code can be a simple message like this:
<p><span style="color:#00FF00;">Record added successfully!</span></p>
Step 7: Create a Fail Page
- Click on ‘Add New Page‘.
- Choose the ‘Buying Site’ as the type of page to create.
- Name your page (e.g., “Failed”).
- Set the page to ‘Public’ or ‘Private’ based on your preference.
- The code can be a simple message like this:
<p><span style="color:#FF0000;">Record not added.</span></p>Step 8: Build the Form
- Open the ‘Custom Offer Request Form’ page that you created on Step 1
- In the HTML editor, create a new form. And use the ‘Form’ option to add a form to the page. Give this form an Id like ‘form1’:
And this will display a form area outlined in red like this:
In the background (under the ‘Source’ tab) the system will add a section like this:
<form id="form1">
</form> 3. Add the necessary input fields within the form:
<form id="form1">

Step 9: Add Script To Handle Form Submission
- Under the ‘Source’ tab of the HTML editor, add a simple script to handle form submission and update your system securely through our API. A Zapier CatchHook URL can be used here for a simple solution and here is an example of how that script would look:
Here is the complete sample script that you can customize:
<script>
// UPDATE: Make sure you reference your custom form Id (in this example our form is called form1...
document.getElementById('form1').addEventListener('submit', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
const formData = new FormData(event.target);
// UPDATE: Add the unique URL of your Zapier CatchHook...
fetch('https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/addyourcatchhookhere', {
method: 'POST',
body: formData
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(result => {
console.log('Success:', result);
if (result.status === "success") {
// UPDATE: Add the URL to your custom success page...
window.location.href = 'https://custombuyingsitedomain.com/confirmation';
} else {
// UPDATE: Add the URL to your custom fail page...
window.location.href = 'https://custombuyingsitedomain.com/failed';
}
})
.catch(error => {
console.error('Error:', error);
window.location.href = '#error';
});
});
</script> By following these steps, you can create a custom input form on an Investment Dominator custom page. This form will help you collect the detailed that you want from your prospective sellers.
<style>
#form1 {
max-width: 100%;
margin: auto;
}
#form1, label {
display: block;
margin-top: 10px;
}
#form1, input, textarea {
width: 100%;
padding: 8px;
margin-top: 5px;
}
</style>To get the entire source code you can copy and paste, please refer to this article:
