How does it work?
You can create your own subscription form for new Addemar subscription using our landingpages functionality
Place this form on your company website or in any of your online communications, and grow your Addemar contacts database constantly.
If you work with different contact groups, you can choose to which contact group(s) you want to subscribe the new contacts.
What do you have to do?
It is important that you know what contactdata you want to capture and If you want these 'new' contacts to be captured in a new group.
-
The fields that you want to insert in the form can be found in Segment -> fields. The code column describes the code you need to integrate in your form.
-
Should you want to capture these contact inside a new group, you need to create a need contact group in the section Segment -> Contact group
To create a subscription form please complete these steps :
1. Create a new landingpage. Navigate the Create -> landingspages and create a new landingpage.
2. Inside the landingpage you need to create a form with a simple <form> tag. Name and action are not required, just take an example:
<form action="" name="" method="post" ></form>
3. Insert at least a text field with name="email" and/or insert text fields if you want to gather more data about the new subscriber. Use the label of the field as name="".
<input type="text" name="email" value="">
<input type="text" name="first_name" value="">
<input type="text" name="last_name" value="">
<input type="text" name="company" value=""> Note: the name should correspond literally to the name of the field in Addemar. Replace spaces by underscores.
