When the marketing team at Cloud Kicks wants to set up a form on a landing page to collect contact information that feeds directly into a data extension in Marketing Cloud Engagement, the most appropriate functionality to use is Smart Capture. Smart Capture is a form tool available in Salesforce Marketing Cloud that allows users to easily create and customize forms to collect data from visitors on web pages or landing pages.

By using Smart Capture, the team can design forms that align with their branding and specific data collection needs, and directly link the form to a data extension where the collected contact information is stored. This seamless integration facilitates efficient data collection and management, enabling the team to quickly leverage the collected data for marketing campaigns and engagement activities.
