No this feature is released by Salesforce only for Stadard S Object Lead as per looking at business needs.

There are several ways you could implement a web-to-??? feature with other objects. 

 

1. Public sites page running visualforce+apex.

2. Integration where the other page is using either the SOAP or REST API to post data into salesforce. This requires a salesforce user to initiate the connection with Salesforce. 

3. There are weirder, funkier ways as well, such as a web form that sends an email handled by an inbound email service. 

 

The nice thing about web-to-lead is the ease of generating the form, and the fact that it is standard HTML that any web developer can decorate with CSS to make it look like whatever you want it to. You won't get that kind of declarative ease when implementing this with other objects, but it is certainly possible. 

 

Here's an example of web-to-case in Visualforce in this article here:

@N@ni - Although this is a good case for standard integration using Web Services or REST. You can have your Web Form talk to salesforce through these integration methods by creating Apex Web Service or a REST Resource class and then calling it from your enterprise app/web app.

I did it using sites on one of our projects:

steps:

1)Created a custom object to store collected data

2) Created apex controller & visualforce form page to collect data

3)Exposed visualforce page/apex classes on sites.

 

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Quick easy and simple solution is to use something like Zapier in the middle. Example below.

Hello N@ani,

Yeah it is possible to implement web-to-lead functionality on other objects such as Accounts, Contacts, and Custom Objects in Salesforce using the Web-to-Anything (W2A) feature. With W2A you can create web forms that can be embedded on your website or used in email campaigns to gather information from leads or customers and create new records in Salesforce.

To avail W2A you will need to generate the HTML code for the web form and change it to include the object and field information for the record you want to create and then from there you can customize the form to include any further fields or validation rules that you need. It's mandatary to keep in mind that the W2A feature is only available for Salesforce Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer editions and may need additional configuration or customization depending on your specific requirements.

If the above answer helped you mark it as best answer.

THank You!

Implementing the web-to-lead concept for another object involves creating a similar mechanism to capture data from a web form and convert it into a new record of the desired object type in a database. This could be used for processes beyond lead generation, such as web-to-opportunity or web-to-case. Additionally, integrating a VAT calculator (https://calculatethevat.com/) into the system entails embedding lines of code or a component that calculates the applicable Value-Added Tax for transactions, factoring in relevant variables like product prices and tax rates. These functionalities together enable streamlined data collection and automated tax computation, enhancing the user experience and operational efficiency.

To implement the web-to-lead concept for other objects in a Salesforce environment, you can follow a similar approach as you would for leads. Let's take an example using "Capcut Habibi Edit" as a custom object. First, you would create a custom object named "Capcut Habibi Edit" in Salesforce to capture the relevant information such as video editing requirements, contact details, and any other necessary data. Then, you'd design a web form or integrate with a web service that allows users to submit their editing requests. Use Salesforce's web-to-lead functionality to map the form fields to the corresponding fields in the Capcut Habibi Edit (https://habibicapcut.net/) object. This way, when users submit their editing requests through the web form, the data will automatically populate the custom object, enabling efficient tracking and management of these requests within Salesforce.
