3. Email & Name Fields
For a Convert Form to successfully store an email address to your GetResponse account it needs to have an email field. This field is already set up at the time of creating the form and you don't have to change its input value as it is already configured for you.
Name
If you want to store the contact's fullname you should create a field named name. See the screenshot below to understand where to set it up.
4. GetResponse Custom Fields
GetResponse offers custom fields to collect more types of data for each of your contacts. We can also use these custom fields in a Convert Form for a more efficient data gathering and by extension, a more efficient campaign. Let's see how.
First you need to navigate to your GetResponse Dashboard, choose "Contacts" in the menu and go to "Custom Fields" to create your custom field. As an example in the screenshot below we have created an Address custom field and an Age custom field.
With the custom fields you have configured on your GetResponse Account, you can now proceed and use the same ones in your Convert Form. For example, we used our Address and Age custom fields in our Convert Form in the screenshow below.
5. Assign form to Campaign
Of course don't forget to assign the form to our newly created Campaign! See the screenshot below to understand where to assign it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Autoresponders and Autoresponder Day?
Autoresponders are messages set to go out automatically after a contact subscribes to your list.
The Autoresponder Day is a number that starts from 0 indicating day 0 (the day a contact subscribes). You can use any day after the user subscribers to your list such as day 3, 7, 14, etc... So, autoresponders are useful if you want to send an automatic message to contacts who join your list. When you set up an autoresponder cycle, messages will go out on a specific day of a contact’s subscription period, according to how you set up the cycle.
