Building a Signup Form for Static Lists

If you want to allow your users to add themselves to one of your static lists in Iterable, it's often useful to provide a form on your website.

For projects that use email as a unique identifier, Iterable provides a basic HTML form that will add a new user to your list whenever someone submits their information. You can customize and use this form on your website.

To get the form code, go to Audience > Lists and find the Signup Form link. This link is visible when you hover over the list for which you'd like a sign-up form.

You can generate a form from an existing list, or create a new list and then generate a form.

These steps cover creating a new list and then creating a signup form.

1. Create a standard list by navigating to Audience > Lists and clicking Import List. For more information, read Adding Users and Creating Lists.

   

2. Once you have a list for which you'd like to create a signup form, return to Audience > Lists.

3. In the Name column, click Signup Form.

   

4. Use the sample code to build your form. You can copy the code block and use it as-is, or customize it.

   

The live preview shows what the signup form looks like when rendered on a website. Copy the code, and modify it to customize the form as you like. For example, you might change the prompt text, or the text on the button.
