You can turn any form into a Contact Contact newsletter signup form easily. Follow these steps to get your checkbox set up on your form quickly.
Step 1: Install the WPForms Plugin
The WPForms plugin is the best choice when creating contact forms, which you can integrate with various marketing services, such as Mailchimp, AWeber, Zapier, and Constant Contact.
Since the Constant Contact integration is available to WPForms Basic users and above, don’t forget to upgrade your license. This will also give you access to several other features and addons.
After purchasing the license, you’ll first need to install and activate the WPForms plugin. For more details, follow this step-by-step guide on how to install a plugin in WordPress.
Step 2: Create a New WordPress Form
Next, you’ll need to create a new form. For help with this, check out our tutorial on how to create a simple contact form in WordPress.
When you create your contact form, you’ll need to add a checkbox to it for your site visitors to select when they want to join your Constant Contact email list.
You’ll need to delete the Second Choice and Third Choice by clicking on the blue (-minus) icon. And then, change the Label to something like ‘Join Our Newsletter’.
Keep in mind if you want people to be able to subscribe to your email list, you’ll need to connect it to your Constant Contact account.
Step 3: Connect WPForms to Constant Contact
You’ll now need to connect WPForms to Constant Contact so when someone subscribes to your newsletter, they’re automatically added to your email list.
To start, go to WPForms » Settings. Click on the Integrations tab and then on the Constant Contact integration.
Next, you’ll need to add your Constant Contact account. Click on the Constant Contact section to expand it. Then click on the Add New Account button.
Click on the link labeled “Click here to register with Constant Contact” so you can connect Constant Contact to WPForms.
After you sign in, you’ll see another screen asking you to allow WPForms to access your Constant Contact account. Click Allow.
You’ll then see your Constant Contact Authorization code. Copy it, add it to the field in your WordPress dashboard, and give your account a nickname.
Click Connect to Constant Contact. You’ll see a Connected symbol if everything was connected the right way.
Once WPForms is done connecting your site to your Constant Contact account, a green success message reading “Connected” will appear.
Step 4: Connect Constant Contact to Your Form
Now, you’ll need to connect Constant Contact to your contact form. To do this, go to your newly created form and click on Marketing » Constant Contact.
Here simply click on the Add New Connection button on the top right corner of the screen to set up the integration with your form.
A popup will appear asking you to nickname your connection. This is for your reference only, so you can call it whatever you want.
Next, choose any Constant Contact account you’ve integrated through your WPForms settings from the Select Account dropdown.
After you choose the account you want to use, click on the Select List dropdown to pick an email list from that account to connect to this form.
You can also add any available subscriber data to your Constant Contact email lists under the List Fields section.
Once you’re done configuring your form’s Constant Contact connection, click Save at the top of the form builder.
Now, you’re ready to add your contact form with a Constant Contact signup checkbox to your WordPress website.
Step 5: Publish Your Constant Contact Form
WPForms lets you add your forms to multiple places on your website. For example, you can add your contact form in your WordPress post or page content.
You can also add it in the footer section of your site, and even in the sidebar widget areas. When added to a page on your website, your final form will look like this:
