Sign-ups and email preferences

A sign-up form on your event page collects emails for your newsletter. Nothing to set up: it uses your brand, and every new subscriber confirms their email first.

  • After you publish an event page, select Add a sign-up form on the Collect emails from visitors? card, then Publish changes.
  • Or ask: “Add a sign-up form to the Boston dinner page”. Ask adds it to the event you name and asks you to publish.

Visitors enter their email and select Sign up. Sharing their details with your sponsors is a separate box, off unless they tick it. If registration for the event isn’t open yet, the page’s Register card points visitors to the form.

Each new subscriber gets an email with Confirm my email. Until they select it they show as Waiting to confirm, and they get nothing else from you. The link works for a few days.

Go to People and select Signed up. Filter by status (Subscribed, Waiting to confirm, Unsubscribed, Bounced, Marked as spam) or by where they signed up, search, and select Export CSV. Or ask: “How many people signed up this week?”

Every newsletter and automatic email has a link to the subscriber’s own preferences page. There they can:

  • Pause for 30 days or Pause for 90 days, and Start again now
  • Unsubscribe from your newsletter, or Unsubscribe from everything
  • Change their name and company, then Save my details

Changes show in People straight away, and each one is kept in the person’s consent history.
