How to create an online Sign Up form
NewZapp can generate code for you to add a simple sign-up form to your website or landing page and help grow your audience.
Go to your contacts and click the cog in the top right to access your online Sign Up From code.
Copy the code to clipboard and paste it to your website or NewZapp landing page.
The sign up form allows you to collect the following contact information: first name, last name, mobile number, date of birth, company name and email address.
You can style the form and its elements however you like, but note the following: the <form> name, id, action or method attributes should not be changed. Any <input> element’s name or type attributes should not be changed.
Allowed Domains
When you're on the Sign Up Form screen in NewZapp you'll see a section at the top called "Allowed Domains". This is where you enter the domain name of the website where the sign up form will be hosted. This is so that someone has to actually be on that website in order to sign up to the form which isn't a problem for humans as we'll need to be on that site, however spam bots don't have to be on the page itself and this will stop them being able to sign up!
If you have your Sign Up form hosted on a NewZapp Landing Page you will need to add the domain of "newzapp.co.uk".
SPAM BOT Protection
The code comes with "honey trap" protection. A hidden field that humans will not see but spam bots will attempt to fill in. This protection prevents junk sign ups.
Adding contacts to Groups
By default, new contacts go straight into your account without any Group affiliations. You can automatically add new contacts to one or more Public or Private Groups in your account by adding the following <input> element:
<input type="hidden" name="GroupIds" id="MyGroupIds" value="GROUP IDS" />
Replace GROUP IDS with one or more of the Group IDs you can find by going to Contacts, hovering over a Group and clicking the ‘edit’ icon to ‘Edit Group Details’. In the Group card copy the IDI of the Group and paste it in place of GROUP IDS e.g.
value=”534196” - to sign contact up to one Group
value=”534196,534190,669970” - to sign contact up to 3 Groups etc
Thank you pages
When the form is submitted the user is automatically sent to unbranded ‘Sign Up Successful’ or ‘Sign Up Failed’ pages. However, you can add your own custom pages by adding the following <input> elements:
<input type="hidden" name="RedirectSuccess" id="MyRedirectSuccess" value="SUCCESS URL" />
<input type="hidden" name="RedirectError" id="MyRedirectError" value="ERROR URL" />
Replace SUCCESS URL and ERROR URL with your own appropriate secure web page URLs
