Adding a newsletter subscription form to your website



Adding a newsletter subscription form on your website can help boost your opt-in mailing list. It's easy to integrate with your website via the Shortburst member area.


Follow the steps below to add a subscription
form to your website.


1) Login to your account and enter the ‘Client Area’

2) From the right-hand menu Click ‘Website Integration’. You will find this under ‘Set Up’ within the ‘Email Broadcaster’ list

3) Click ‘Generate Subscription Form HTML Code’ from the list on screen.

4) From the ‘Mailing List’ drop-down menu select the mailing list your subscribers should be put into once they have subscribed.

5) From the ‘Included Fields’ list select the fields you would like your subscribers to fill in (eg. first name and company name)

6) Check you have everything as you want it and click ‘Generate Form Code’ (bottom right next to the Return button).

7) The next page contains a field with the HTML code you will need to put on the newsletter page of your website. The form itself can be laid out and styled to keep it in line with any design you have on your site.

If you do not have access to change your website’s html code (via your content management system or web developers/designers) please contact us on 01908 247724

Note to Webmaster: Please leave the names and types of the fields as they are. We recommend using some form of validation on your website to ensure your mailing list stays as clean as possible.

If you have any queries please contact us on 01908 247724


Customising the 'Success' page after subscribing

After the member has filled in their details and clicked submit, they are automatically added to your mailing list. They are then redirected to a 'Success' page. You can customise this so it redirects to a page on your website by following the steps below.

1)
Login to your account and enter the ‘Client Area’

2) Within the ‘Client Area’, click ‘Website Integration’. You will find this under ‘Set Up’ within the ‘Email Broadcaster’ list

3) Now click ‘Result Screens’ and then click the ‘Create Result Screen’ button.

4) Choose the ‘Opt-in Confirm’ option from the ‘Type’ dropdown. The ‘Name’ field is for your reference only – for example; ‘Newsletter Subscription Confirmation Screen’.

5) The ‘Link’ should be the link URL of the page on your website which you would like subscribers to be returned to (e.g www.yoursite.com/newsletterconfirm.htm).

6) Select the mailing list the result screen relates to.

7) Once you are happy click ‘Submit’
