A: Hey, thank you for your questions.

1 & 2. Lead magnets and ebooks
Yes! You can offer free downloadable resources that act as lead magnets. When someone signs up to grab one, you can automatically trigger an email sequence based on that specific signup as an event.

You can also build digital ebooks directly inside Forento. And you're not limited to ebooks. You can sell or give away PDFs, spreadsheets, workbooks, or any downloadable file, either as paid products or as free resources.

3. A demo that really shows off Forento
Our own website has actually been revamped, and I'll be honest that we haven't updated this particular section in a bit. We're about to. But let me point you to one of my favorites in the meantime: The Refinery by Cheniece Patrick. A customer just built this, and it's really clean.

https://refinery.forento.net/, it's still being worked on from what she tells us in the creator community. Everything you see there is built on Forento, the website, the funnels, and the products, including ebooks delivered inside her courses. She's got courses, downloads, sessions, community, and events all living in one place, plus a featured product and an email signup. It's a great example of the range once it's all pulled together.

4. Custom sign-up fields
You can't yet add your own custom fields at the sign-up step, but it is possible to disable phone number collection, so you're not forced to require it. For anything beyond name and email, the workaround is to use Forento's forms: you can send a follow-up email with a form after someone signs up, or embed a form directly on your site to collect any extra info you need.

Feel free to use the live chat on our website if you have any other questions. We're happy to help.
