This plugin allows you to add a Pardot/Salesforce Form Handler on a form by form basis. After the form has been successfully submitted, the values of the fields will be sent to your provided Pardot Form Handler URL. The main advantage of this plugin is that the submission will be done directly from the browser of your visitor. This will retain all the tracking info and adds the form submission to the track record in Pardot. This will improve your insights about the visitor, even before the form submission took place.
