When visitors submit the form, a ticket is created automatically in Zoho Desk with all the details they provided.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Building and Embedding Web Forms<\/h2>\n<p>Zoho Desk provides a form builder where administrators create support forms with custom fields. The generated embed code is pasted into any webpage. The form can include dropdowns for issue type, text fields, file attachments, and custom mandatory fields.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Automatic Ticket Creation from Form Submissions<\/h2>\n<p>When a visitor submits the web form, Zoho Desk creates a ticket populated with the form data. Assignment rules then route the ticket based on the issue type or department field the visitor selected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Spam Prevention<\/h2>\n<p>Web forms can be protected with CAPTCHA to prevent spam submissions. Spam filter rules in Zoho Desk can also automatically close or filter tickets from known spam patterns, keeping agent queues clean.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> A software company in Bengaluru embeds a Zoho Desk web form on their Contact Support page. Customers select a product from a dropdown, describe their issue, and attach screenshots. The form creates a ticket routed to the right product team automatically.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/email-channel-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Email Channel<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/ticket-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Ticket<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/spam-ticket-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Spam Ticket<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/department-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Department (Desk)<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is the Web Form Channel in Zoho Desk?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The web form channel allows you to embed a support submission form on your website.
