How to build your contact list using a funnel
Funnels
A funnel is one of the best ways to grow your list of parents. Here is how to set up the form and button to capture their details.
You will need a sales funnel with an opt-in page.
Step 1: build your form
On the page:
- Click Edit page.
- Drag the Form input element onto the page.
- Click the field and choose what to collect under Input type, such as email.
- Write a placeholder, the hint text parents see in the empty field.
- Add more fields the same way if you want more details, such as first name.
Your form needs at least one Email field to capture parents.
In a popup:
- In the editor, click Popups, then +.
- Click Edit popup settings and build your form like a regular page.
- To open the popup from a button, set the button's action to Show popup and choose the popup.
Step 2: set up the button
- Drag a Button element onto your form, on the page or in the popup.
- Set Action when button clicked to Submit form. This is what adds the parent to your contacts.
- Choose what happens after sign-up:
- To the next step: the next page of your funnel.
- To the custom URL: a web address you enter.
- No redirection: the parent stays on the page and sees a message you write.
Submit form needs an Email field on the page or popup. Without one, you see the error explained in Why am I seeing the "At least one email input is required" error?
With double opt-in on, parents receive an email with a link to confirm. Anyone who does not click within 24 hours is removed from your list. See How to set up double opt-in.
