Post Leads to SFDC via JS Fetch API & Web-to-Lead

When working with Web-to-Lead forms, you might run into a situation where you'd like to integrate the form with your frontend framework (React, Vue, Angular, etc...). This can be accomplished quite easily using whatever HTTP library you're most comfortable with.

To demonstrate this, let's take a look at an example Web-to-Lead form, and the JavaScript required to post Leads to a SFDC org.

Example Form

<html lang="en">

Create the bucket

Open the console https://console.cloud.google.com
If you haven't already, setup your Cloud billing account
From the drop down at the top of the screen, create new project for your client, e.g. my-client
Make a note of the Project number on the project Home screen (Craft refers to this as the Project ID)
In the sidebar go to APIs & Services > Credentials, click the + Create credentials button and choose the Service Account type

Set account name to craft-cms or similar
Set role to Owner
Save

Click on the newly created service account email to edit it, then click the Keys tab and click Add key > Create new key and select the JSON format
