Alright, so let's make this useful. If the POSTed data is valid (so the form is valid), use send_lead to send an email. You can get email and url from form.cleaned_data but, remember, we named the URL field "link". Leave everything else alone.
I was having an issue with"Get Help" on the challenge itself, here is a link to it, I am on task 2 link: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/django-forms/forms/validate-a-form-in-a-view
def lead_form(request):
form = forms.LeadShareForm()
if request.method == 'POST':
form = forms.LeadShareForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
send_lead(form.cleaned_data['email'], form.cleaned_data['link'])
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('lead'))
return render(request, 'lead_form.html', {'form': form})

def lead_form(request):
form = forms.LeadShareForm()
if request.method == 'POST':
form = forms.LeadShareForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
send_lead(form.cleaned_data['email'], form.cleaned_data['link'])
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('lead')) # <-- align indent with send_lead
return render(request, 'lead_form.html', {'form': form})
