MailUp provides all the tools so that a user can subscribe to a specific list using a subscription form. Such form can be placed on the MailUp console website or on the customer’s website.
Existing forms on customer's website
A subscription form on the customer’s website can transfer the inserted data to the MailUp console, through calls provided by aspx pages. Aspx pages contain procedures to insert, modify, search, remove contacts in MailUp.
How to integrate MailUp with a subscription form on the customer’s website
The available procedures allow to:
- Subscribe a user to different lists and groups, using the “Codes table” as a reference (path: Settings > Codes table)
- Unsubscribe a user from a list;
- Check user status;
- Update user’s personal data.
Please read on to find technical details on how to perform these operations.
Customer's website does not have a subscription form
Customers who do not have a subscription form available can create a new one, or use one of the forms available inside the MailUp console.
Ready-to-use buttons and forms
Subscription buttons and links to predefined forms are available in the MailUp console at the page Settings > Subscription Form. The form’s HTML code can also be copied and pasted on any website (asp, php, etc..): it will work perfectly, as its path is absolute.
How to use available buttons and forms
Subscription form personalization
Standard forms and buttons are available at the page Settings > Subscription Form. It is possible to copy and paste them, and then freely customize them, as calls have an absolute path. This way, it is very simple to create new forms for special occasions such as events or meetings, without any particular programming skills. All the variables to be passed (name=list, group, field1, field2…) can be of any type (type=checkbox, text, radio, button) and can assume any value. Two procedures can be used to develop these forms:
- Standard APIs (subscribe.asp, subscribe.aspx. xmlsubscribe.aspx);
- Web Service (WS_MailupImport).
NOTES
- The customer can modify these forms with any HTML editor and insert them on his own website, with the freedom to modify the number of fields and the format (dropdown, plain text, checkbox, radiobutton).
- The calling code of a standard MailUp form has an absolute path, so it will work even after being copied and pasted to another website.
- The MailUp console allows to create subscription forms that can be inserted on any website regardless of the OS (Linux, Windows..) and of the language. A check on the validity of the email address provided is included.
- Several subscription forms are available in the MailUp console, and they can be freely used and published. To activate or disable them, go to the page Settings > Edit lists of the console. In order to have a standard form to subscribe a user to a list and to a group by providing the email address only, with integrated check on Javascript, please see Settings > Subscription Form in the MailUp console
- E' possibile utilizzare le API MailUp anche per creare form di iscrizioni in Flash.
- Compilato il form, si aprirà la PAGINA MESSAGGI, che è liberamente personalizzabile nel menu Impostazioni di MailUp. In alternativa a tale pagina è possibile specificare un URL posto sul sito del Cliente, diverso per ogni casistica (Iscrizione OK, Email Già presente, etc)
- Il dominio dove è ospitata la pagina messaggi è mascherabile con un host di terzo livello del cliente (es. mailing.coin.it)
- Compilato il modulo (form), MailUp invierà (opzionalmente) un'email per chiedere la conferma dell'iscrizione (con un clic). Il testo dell'email (e il mittente) è personalizzabile nel menu Impostazioni di MailUp (voce: EMAIL RICHIESTA CONFERMA)
- Una volta confermata l'iscrizione, al cliente viene inviata un'email di conferma, anche questa personalizzabile.
- Da notare che è anche possibile iscrivere contemporaneamente su più liste, inviando una sola email di richiesta conferma.
