The problem

Your lead magnets shouldn't be dead on arrival

You spend hours creating an ebook or checklist. You export a PDF. You upload it somewhere. You email a download link. And then… nothing. No idea who opened it. No idea who read past page two. No way to update a typo without re-uploading the whole thing. No engagement data to prove ROI.

Static PDFs are invisible after the click. You're generating leads but losing them inside content you can't track, can't update, and can't optimize.

There's a better way.

FORMS & CRM

From ebook to CRM, without the copy and paste

Gated content only pays off if the lead actually reaches your pipeline. Flipsnack captures readers inside the content with embedded lead forms, then pushes every submission straight into HubSpot or Salesforce in real time, with no manual export.

  • Gate any page of an ebook, guide, or flipbook behind a lead capture form
  • Sync new contacts to HubSpot and Salesforce automatically as they submit
  • Map form fields to CRM properties so records arrive clean and enriched
  • Build CRM reports that attribute closed revenue back to each lead magnet

Because every lead is tagged to the asset that captured it, you can open a report in your CRM and see exactly how much pipeline and revenue a single ebook, checklist, or guide has generated.

What is a lead magnet?

A lead magnet is a free resource (like an ebook, checklist, template, or guide) that businesses offer in exchange for a visitor's contact information. It's the first step in turning website visitors into leads.

Types of lead magnets that convert

Checklists and cheat sheets
Best for top-of-funnel awareness. Fast to create, easy to consume, and deliver a quick win. Opt-in rates can exceed 30%.
Ebooks and guides
Ideal for mid-funnel consideration. Showcase expertise over 10–30 pages. The most widely used lead magnet format.
Whitepapers and reports
Target bottom-of-funnel decision-makers. Especially effective in B2B where buyers need data to justify a purchase.
Interactive content
Quizzes, calculators, and interactive flipbooks. The next generation of lead magnets, with higher engagement and longer time-on-page.
Templates and toolkits
Deliver ongoing utility. When someone uses your template repeatedly, your brand stays top-of-mind.

Specific value
Solve one defined problem. Narrow the topic. Name the outcome.
Professional design
Clean layouts, consistent branding, and polished typography signal credibility.
Immediate accessibility
Deliver instantly after opt-in. Every second of delay increases abandonment.
Right length for the format
