Creating signup forms

Creating signup forms

It is always easier to change an existing template than to start one from scratch. Unless you have a very specific need, we suggest choosing a template from our gallery. 

To navigate to signup form templates:

  1. From the navigation toolbar , choose Lead Gen and select Lead sources.
  2. In the Forms subtab, click Create form button in the top-right corner.  
  3. Select a template from the different types of forms. 
Alternately:

If you have already created a signup form, you can create another one for the mailing list by following the steps:

  1. From the Navigation toolbar,  select Leads   and choose Manage lists.
  2. Select the Mailing List , you want to create a form for.
  3. Click the  icon in the top-right corner and click Signup Form.


If you do not find the "create signup form" option for the mailing list, it means subscription via signup forms is disabled for the mailing list.

To enable subscription via signup form, for a list:


  1. From the Navigation toolbar , select Leads  and choose Manage lists.
  2. Select the desired mailing list and click the More button.
  3. Click Edit List from the dropdown option.
  4. Click the Change link and allow signup form subscriptions for the mailing list.
  5. Click Save.


Select Signup Form

This is the first phase of sign-up form creation and you can select a sign-up form based on your requirements.

Embedded forms

These are short and concise forms that meet the basic subscription standards, using fields such as 'name' and 'email address'. This form comes in two types:

Compact-vertical form - If you're a minimalist, this form is for you. This form only contains basic fields such as 'email address' and 'name'.


Compact-horizontal form - If your webpage has space constraints, this is the template you need.


Long form - If your website or company need more information than a bare-bones signup form will provide, our advanced signup forms can be customized to suit your brand.


Standard pop-up - Set up a popup form with the fields that you need. You can customize the appearance of the form. You can choose when the form should pop up in the page.


Full page popup - Choose this type of form if you want a full page signup form to pop up in your web pages.
