Does BL contain a feature to capture emails from prospective clients, so I can include them in my Newsletter? I do not see anything obvious, maybe a new Contact Form?..
That’s not a feature of Backlight.
But it should be possible to embed the needed code into one page (like your home page) or even multiple pages (via phplugins).
But you would need to supply the code. For example, here’s how to embed a Mailchimp sign up form:
OK, that’s what I figured. Fortunately, I am somewhat knowledgeable with coding. So I’ll give that a looksee, or I might have AI help me write some javascript.
Out of curiosity, if we were to add something like this, how would you envision it working? Are you wanting just an input field where they can type in an email address and submit it? Are you wanting cart orders to be added to a collection of contacts? Something else?
How would the user get to it, or where would it live on the page, or pages?
Hi Matthew,
I envisioning something that is not terribly complicated. Just a modal popup that appears if you go to a certain page on the site (so it is assignable to a Page). The modal window will ask “Subscribe to our newsletter” or some other customizable text. The form on the popup would then capture First and Last Name, plus an email address. Then there is a Submit or Cancel button. If the form is filled out and the viewer hits “Submit” I get an email with the information. I can then manually add it to my CRM.
Thanks!
