Creating a new capture widget

To enable the capture widgets on your data source’s website, an integration between Ortto and your data source must be configured, which would have been done when you created your Ortto account or configured a new data source, including a tracking code.

To create a new capture widget, you can do so either from scratch or from a template.

Create a capture widget from scratch

Creating a capture widget from scratch gives you a blank canvas to build the capture widget. The color palette, fonts, and styles used in the capture widget are inherited from your brand book when creating a new capture widget from scratch.

To create a new capture widget from scratch in Ortto:

  1. On the Capture page, click New widget.
  2. On the New widget page, click Start from scratch, click Next.
  3. On the Widget types page, select the type of capture widget from the list and click Create:

Create a capture widget from a template

To create a capture widget from a template in Ortto:

  1. On the Capture widgets page, click New widget.
  2. When you choose a template, you can apply your brand book settings by selecting the Use brand book settings checkbox, then click Use template to get started. If the template you selected uses data from a connected data source, you’ll need to choose the relevant accounts.
