Add a sign-up form to a site

Place a form on your site to capture subscribers and leads. A sign-up form lets visitors opt in to your communications, and the details they submit flow straight into your audience so you can start sending relevant Editions.

Before you begin​

  • A published or draft site (microsite) where the form will live.
  • The audience or list you want new subscribers added to.
  • The fields you want to collect (at minimum, an email address; add name, company, or interests as needed).
  • Access to edit the site — if you don't see edit controls, ask your account admin. (confirm the exact steps in your account)

Steps​

  1. Open the site you want to edit and select the page or section where the form should appear.
  2. Add a form element from the content or component menu.
  3. Add the fields you need and mark the email address as required. Keep the form short to improve completion rates.
  4. Map each field to the matching subscriber attribute so submissions land on the right record.
  5. Choose the audience or list that new subscribers are added to on submit.
  6. Set what happens after submit — a thank-you message, a redirect, or a confirmation email.
  7. Add any required consent text or opt-in checkbox to meet your compliance rules.
  8. Save and publish the site so the live form is available to visitors.

Result​

The form appears on your published site. When a visitor submits it, a subscriber record is created or updated and added to the audience you selected, ready to receive your Broadcasts. Submit a test entry to confirm the record appears and any confirmation step fires.
