Pushing and updating lead information

We currently send leads from one org to another using a custom link-  web-to-lead call (see below).
This, however only pushes the data out, leaving the custom link exposed to be pushed again on the same lead (read "duplicates").
To control we restrict use to admin(s) who, after each call, manually changes the record type to hide the link.
Can  it be set-up to both send the leads info out and then change the record type automatically.
Then the reps can send their own leads but only once.
 
Any assistance/direction would be greatly appreciated:

Hello,

Have you tried using Scontrol instead of weblink ?

You could have the Scontrol update the leads record type and then make a http post to web2lead servlet...

Thanks,
Chitra

Not too code too savvy (yet), so if there are examples out there that can be used that would be great?

OK, got the lead update code, but having issues incorporating the 2 elements in to a single S-control "call".

2 distinct functions, (Web2Lead : Record Update)

1 Single Click

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Here is where I am :

You could do the most easiest thing ...if you are running the scontrol within SFDC frame.. open a new window - you can set params if needed as follows ...

window.open(openURL,'','scrollbars=yes,menubar=no,height=600,width=800,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,status=yes');

so this would post it and you can redirect the web2lead to ur website...

or

Change the href of the window..

window.parent.location.href = openURL;

where openURL is your http post servlet url...

so if you are opening up the Scontrol in a pop up window.. you could do it directly in that window instead of opening a new window...

Hope this helps..

Thanks,
Chitra
