A couple who fills out your contact form expects a reply, not a ticket that vanished into a Gmail label. Your studio's inquiry link turns every submit into a contact plus a Lead on the pipeline — with source tagged so Reports can tell an embed apart from the full page.
Public inquire vs embed
Your studio's inquiry link is for the oak-tree story: venue, date, guest count, the note they would have emailed. Copy the embed code from Leads onto your marketing site when you want the same fields in a Contact section. Source becomes Embedded form so your lead report shows where each inquiry came from.
What happens after submit
- Contact is created (or matched) with tags and notes you configure
- A Lead-stage project opens — same board as proposals and booked jobs
- You reply from the client portal or send a booking link
Booking stays the short path: public scheduling on your studio's booking link holds the consult. Your studio's inquiry link is the long form. Both write studio records — neither dumps into a phone you leave in the car.
Try it, then claim your link
On Golden Hour, open the demo inquire flow and watch Pipeline. Your own studio gets its own branded link after signup, and it takes inquiries once your 30-day free trial starts. Starter includes inquire and lead capture; the embed code is on Leads. Photographers can skim the photographer solution or compare plans.
