 * My form has the option to opt out of my email list. Is there a way to change 
   it to have them opt in with a check box? If so where do the emails go to?

 * SalesForce has a built-in field called “Email Opt Out” aka `emailOptOut`.
 * As SalesForce is a CRM, you generally plan to contact people who are leads, so
   opt-in may not make sense. If you want an opt-in to marketing emails (vs transactional
   emails) you’d likely want to use a custom field for that. Then you could email
   users who “opted in” to Marketing emails seperately from emails about their request.
 * If you’re wanting to populate a separate email marketing system, that’s outside
   the purpose of this plugin and something you’d likely want to connect to Salesforce
   directly. You could add a hook to push emails to, say, MailChimp, upon submission,
   but again, that’s outside of the purpose of this plugin.
 * TLDR;
    You can do whatever you want with custom fields, but this plugin exists
   solely to send leads to the Salesforce API. Anything outside of that would require
   custom code and you may want to look at a Form Plugin with a Salesforce connector
   instead.
