ConvertFlow automatically identifies website visitors when they submit their email address in ANY form on your website, including ConvertFlow forms.

Once a visitor is identified as a contact, ConvertFlow researches their social profiles to help build an insightful profile for you and your team.

You can also personalize your website by targeting campaigns to identified contacts based on who they are, what they've done, and the subscriber data stored in your email marketing software.

This means you can target people based on their tags, lists, etc.

In certain cases, you may want to enable ConvertFlow to automatically track and identify contacts based on the custom HTML form submissions (separate from ConvertFlow forms) and URL parameter values on your website. On Advanced plans, you can enable this from Settings > Website.
