LeadOut is an open source edition of the Leadin Plugin. We offer this version for users who, for whatever reason, cannot store their visitor data in the cloud. LeadOut stores your data in your own WordPress MySQL database.
We offer LeadOut as-is meaning we do not provide support or updates for it. If you would like to keep up to date with the newest features and functionality offered by Leadin we recommend that you install the latest version of Leadin from our website.

LeadOut is an easy-to-use marketing automation and lead tracking plugin for WordPress that helps you better understand your web site visitors.
When someone visits your site, you want to know more about them. What pages they've visited, when they return, and what social networks they’re on. LeadOut gives you the details you need to make your next move.
Use the optional popup form to prevent people from slipping through the cracks. The popup also uses the contact data to intelligently know when to appear.
LeadOut syncs your contacts to an email list of your choice without replacing any forms.
Our simple analytics show you what sources of traffic and content are driving the most contacts. No more complicated Google Analytics reports.
- When you activate the WordPress plugin, LeadOut will track each anonymous visitor to your site with a cookie.
- LeadOut automatically identifies and watches each existing form on your site for submissions.
- Once someone fills out any other form on your site, LeadOut will identify that person with their email address. and add them to your contact list.
- You'll also receive an email with a link to the new contact record with all of their visit history. (check the screenshots to see it in action)
- Upload the 'leadout' folder to the '/wp-content/plugins/' directory
- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress

LeadOut automatically integrates with your contact and comment forms that contain an email address field on your web site. There’s no setup required.
As long as your form builder creates static HTML forms not contained in an iFrame, LeadOut should be able to see the form submissions. Below is a list of all the form builders we have tested.

- Must not have any javascript events bound to form submission or button click

There’s a few reasons why you might not be seeing the popup. If you close the popup, LeadOut won’t show it to you again. We recommend trying to view your site in a Chrome ‘incognito window’. You can also use the “preview popup” button in your LeadOut settings to view the popup even if you’ve closed it.
If it’s still not working, the page templates you’re using might not be using standard WordPress header and footer includes. LeadOut requires that your templates have both WordPress header and footer includes to work properly. We include code in those files to make the LeadOut tracking and popups work!
Right now, there’s no built in ability to change the style of the popup form. You can apply any CSS styles you want to the plugin to make it look how you want. The container class is “.vex-dialog-form”.
LeadOut starts tracking visitors anonymously using 3 First-Party cookies as soon as you activate the plugin. One cookie stores a unique identifier which doesn’t expire, another stores the last visit and expires after an hour, and one stores whether or not someone is subscribed to the site yet, which lasts two weeks. The plugin tracks where each visitor comes from and what pages they viewed. You own 100% of your data and we don’t have access to it.
LeadOut creates a new contact in your Contacts Table whenever an email address is detected in your visitor’s form submission. There is no limit to the number of contacts you can store in your Contacts Table.
LeadOut is only available in English, but feel free to fork LeadOut and add your own languages.
Unfortunately, due to the way WooCommerce submits forms, LeadOut is unable to provide tracking for those forms. However, if a visitor submits a supported form on your site, LeadOut will be able to track them on WooCommerce product pages.
You betcha! LeadOut should work just fine on multisite right out-of-the-box without requiring any additional setup.
LeadOut is completely free!
