• API Endpoint (optional): Custom endpoint if using a proxy

5. Create a Campaign

1. Go to Django Admin → Lead Capture → Campaign wizard
2. Fill out the questionnaire about your product
3. AI will generate optimized copy
4. Customize and activate your campaign

Usage

Campaign Creation Workflow

1. Wizard (/lead-capture/wizard/) - Staff-only questionnaire
2. Edit - Customize AI-generated copy
3. Preview - Test before going live
4. Activate - Make campaign public
5. Analytics - Track performance

Public Campaign URLs

Campaigns are available at: /launch/{slug}/

Example: /launch/my-awesome-product/

Email Verification

Welcome emails include a verification link: /verify/{token}/

CSV Export

Use the Django admin action "Export selected leads to CSV" to export lead data.

Templates

All templates extend base.html. Override them by creating files in your project's templates directory:

your_project/templates/django_lead_capture/
├── wizard.html          # Campaign creation form
├── edit.html            # Edit campaign
├── preview.html         # Preview campaign
├── campaign.html        # Public landing page
├── thank_you.html       # Post-submission page
├── list.html            # Campaign list
├── analytics.html       # Analytics dashboard
├── no_models.html       # API key not configured
└── emails/
    └── welcome.html     # Welcome email template

Models

ComingSoonCampaign

Core model for lead capture campaigns with fields for:

• Generated content (headline, subheadline, benefits, etc.)
• SEO metadata
• Display options (countdown, social proof)
• Analytics (page views, conversion tracking)

Lead

Email capture model with:

• Email verification status
• Traffic source tracking
• IP address and user agent
• Timestamps

LeadCaptureConfiguration

Singleton model for LLM configuration:

• API key
• Model name

Email Configuration

Make sure Django email settings are configured:

# settings.py
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '[e-mail]'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'your-password'
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = '[e-mail]'

System Checks

The package includes a Django system check that warns if the API key is not configured. This is non-blocking - the app will still work, but the AI wizard will not function until configured.
