# Feature Request: Lead Magnet Result Lock / Email Unlock for Embedded Pickaxe Tools Hi Pickaxe team, I would love to request a native feature for **lead magnet-style Pickaxe embeds** where creators can show part of a generated result, then lock or blur the rest until the user enters their email address. ## Use Case I’m building public mini-tools for pastors and ministry teams, such as: **Church Announcement Makeover** A user enters rough church announcement details, and the tool turns them into polished copy for: - Sunday stage announcement - Email/newsletter blurb - Facebook post - Instagram caption - Church app notification - SMS/text reminder - Website/calendar description - Final reminder For public blog posts, social traffic, and free lead magnets, I would like visitors to receive an immediate preview, such as: 1. Sunday Stage Announcement 2. Facebook/Instagram Post Then the rest of the generated result would be blurred, grayed out, or hidden behind an email unlock. ## Requested Feature A native Pickaxe setting that allows the builder to: 1. Choose which output sections are visible for free. 2. Blur, gray out, or hide selected sections of the generated result. 3. Show an email opt-in popup or inline form to unlock the full result. 4. Send the email address and tool/result details to an integration such as Zapier, Make, Kajabi, AWeber, ConvertKit, Mailchimp, or webhook. 5. Optionally reveal the full generated result on the page after opt-in. 6. Optionally email the full result to the user. 7. Track opt-ins and conversion rates by tool/deployment. ## Why This Would Be Helpful This would make Pickaxe much stronger as a **lead generation platform** , not just a tool-building platform. Many creators want to embed small AI tools in: - blog articles - landing pages - social media campaigns - resource pages - free tool libraries - waitlist pages The current embed experience is great for creating tools, but a native “preview → email unlock → full result” flow would make public embedded tools far more useful for building an email list while still giving visitors immediate value. ## Example Flow 1. Visitor lands on a blog post. 2. They use an embedded Pickaxe tool. 3. Pickaxe generates a result. 4. Visitor sees the first two sections. 5. Remaining sections are blurred or locked. 6. A message appears: “Want the full announcement pack? Enter your email and we’ll send it to you.” 7. Visitor enters email. 8. Pickaxe unlocks the full result and/or emails it. 9. Email and metadata are sent to the creator’s email platform or webhook. ## Suggested Settings It would be wonderful if each deployment could include settings such as: - Enable lead magnet mode: yes/no - Visible sections before opt-in - Locked sections after opt-in - Email capture required: yes/no - Unlock on-page after email: yes/no - Email full result to user: yes/no - Send result to owner: yes/no - Integration/webhook destination - Custom opt-in headline/button text - Custom privacy/consent text ## Why This Matters This would help Pickaxe users turn public AI tools into list-building assets without needing custom development. It would also help protect usage by encouraging intentional, higher-value interactions instead of giving away full high-cost outputs publicly with no lead capture. Thanks for considering this. I think this would be a powerful feature for anyone using Pickaxe tools as lead magnets, content upgrades, or public free tools. ---

Hi @gotinternetmarketing! I think the closest way to accomplish this in our current system would be to do the following: - Set up an access group that allows 1 free use - Use prompting within your agent to make sure that the opening response requires a follow-up - in other words, tell it not to give a complete response within 1 use Having a blur tool sounds nice, though it would require a ton of backend overhauling - if we get some more upvotes here, we can try to get it done!
