How do I create a new lead in Intercom when someone completes a contact form?

Question

Hi community,  We have recently switched to Intercom and I need a bit of help from you guys!  On our website, we have a couple of forms, that visitors can fill out, to ultimately become leads (some MQL's, some SQL's, and some PQL's - but let's leave that out of it for now).  I am currently struggling to find out, how to create contacts automatically for people that fill out these forms.  This may be a very basic question, but my searches around the internet has left me with nothing.  Thank you, guys!

Why not just use an Intercom bot? You can trigger a bot via a button or link then have the bot send Intercom's lead capture app. We are doing this with a new app we're about to release: https://bump.userfeed.io/p>
