How do I create multiple leads at one time using a webform?

I have a webform (not web-to-lead) where people may submit an application and recommend others for us to follow up (they provide name and email address). What I want to do is automatically create leads for these recommended folks when the applicant submits the application online. How do I do this? Via a trigger? Or do I do this via trying to direct the applicant to a form linked to the application form?

Hi Nathan,

You can develop a trigger/Process builder on Lead object to create a new lead whenever a lead iscreated with referral.
So this is how the workflow will run

A new lead will be created from webform.
When lead will be created in Salesforce, trigger will run and will create another lead with referral information.

Thanks

Great idea! I did not consider that. One other question, Process Builder can create records of different object types correct? Say if the applicant was a contact, could process builder create lead records also?

Yes you can create different type of records using process builder.
