Create an opt-in form

An opt-in form gives new potential contacts the opportunity to subscribe to your messages or indicate that they want to continue receiving them. You can link opt-in forms to your messages or add the link to your website. You can also add interests to your opt-in forms which your contacts can use to indicate what kind of information and content they want to receive from you. How to create an opt-in form with the help of an easy wizard is described in the following article.

1. To create a new opt-in form, go to the Forms > Opt-in section of your account. Here you can see all the opt-in forms you have created so far.

   

2. Click Create new form.

   

3. In the first step, you enter a name for your new opt-in form and select the language. The language you choose here will be used for all texts and buttons in the form. Next, click Choose fields.

   

4. Add the fields that should be displayed in your opt-in form. You can select all the fields you have created so far. Select the desired field from the drop-down list.
