ac16dd353dd8481e8c0dd2b853527830Q: Example of feature "Build lead magnets"
1) Can you show examples of the Forento interface which allows users to 'build lead magnets'.
2). Also how does Forento allow users to 'build digital ebooks'.
3). The demos on your site look like of plain (and most don't work.). Is there one example academy which really shows off 'the power' of Forento?
4) Custom Sign up fields...On the sign up, can I choose what information I want from the user? (ie I do not want to require phone numbers, but I might want some custom fields)

Jul 13, 2026A: 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.

Thank you for your response. Do you have any screenshots of what the UI looks like for "You can also build digital ebooks directly inside Forento." can we also see examples of ebooks built within Forento?
Hi! Can you refer me to this mention of e-book creation, please? I cannot find it on my end to add context here, but to clarify, you cannot design and create e-books in Forento. Forento hosts the branded academy for you to sell your e-books, courses, and other info-products. At least, for now, before the full launch of Forento AI.
You LITERALLY said (in your initial response) "You can also build digital ebooks directly inside Forento." "BUILD" is the word you consistently use on your website and the word you use here. IMO, 'you can build' is misleading if what you really offer is the ability for users to offer something they 'built' in another platform.
Also on the offer page here at AppSumo on the PLAN DETAILS page where all plans are compared you have, "Build lead magnets, blogs, and funnels for your custom website". "BUILD" is the word you use...
Hi! Thank you for your feedback. I will add context to help clarify: You can design and build funnels and blogs with our site builder and automation. From the first landing page to freebie access and lead capturing & email trigger. Digital products beyond courses, quizzes, exams, and form pages cannot be designed. Most e-books are created as PDF's by creators externally.
Moreover, Forento is currently launching Forento AI in beta. LTD customers who build on Forento are being invited to join and given free credits to generate course drafts, quizzes, and websites with sales pages. Auto-blogging and other applications for Forento AI are also being experimented with. This is where "building" e-books or digital download products specifically might come into play.
