This form handles two things at once. Someone can send you a message through the contact form, and they can also opt into your newsletter.
If they check the newsletter box, they’re automatically added to your Constant Contact mailing list. The form includes required GDPR consent so you’re compliant with European privacy regulations.
Using the Constant Contact GDPR Form Template
The Constant Contact GDPR form provides straightforward fields to capture the necessary information from visitors.
- Name and Email: The form captures and stores visitors’ names and emails.
- Message: There’s a detailed box where visitors can share messages and queries with you.
- GDPR Agreement: The form provides a checkbox to take visitors’ consent to store their submitted information. By stating what and how their information will be used, you can ensure transparency in data collection.
- Newsletter Subscription: The form allows visitors to opt in for your newsletters. You can send updates and promotional messages through your newsletter, which helps you build a genuine relationship with your visitors.
Setting Up Constant Contact Integration
You’ll need the Constant Contact addon, which comes with WPForms Pro and higher.
After selecting the template, go to Marketing » Constant Contact. Connect your Constant Contact account using your API credentials, then choose which email list to add subscribers to.
Map the name and email fields from your form to the corresponding fields in Constant Contact. The integration runs automatically after that new opt-ins appear in your Constant Contact dashboard within minutes.
GDPR Compliance Notes
The template includes two separate checkboxes for a reason. GDPR requires different consent for different purposes.
- GDPR Agreement checkbox (required): Covers storing data to respond to their inquiry. This is necessary for the contact form functionality.
- Newsletter checkbox (optional): Separate consent for marketing emails. People can contact you without joining your list, which is what GDPR requires.
You can customize the consent language in both checkboxes. Consider linking to your privacy policy in the GDPR agreement text so people can review how you handle their data.
Why Combine Contact and Newsletter?
Some websites prefer separate forms. One for contact, one for newsletter signups. That’s fine.
Combining them makes sense when people contacting you are likely prospects who might want ongoing updates. They’re already interested enough to reach out, so offering the newsletter option can grow your list.
The separate checkboxes give people control. They’re not automatically added to your marketing list just because they asked a question.
Managing Responses
Contact form submissions appear in WPForms » Entries like normal. You also get email notifications when people send messages.
Newsletter signups flow directly into your Constant Contact account. Check there to see new subscribers and manage your email lists.
People who opt into the newsletter during contact submission get added to both places—their inquiry is in WordPress, their email address is in Constant Contact.
