Subscribe Actions
The Subscribe to a Newsletter action sends entrants who opt in straight to your email provider, like Mailchimp, Klaviyo or HubSpot.
The Subscribe to a Newsletter action sends entrants who opt in straight to your email provider. Use it to grow your list for special offers, follow-up emails or regular updates. One action can send each subscriber to several providers at once.
- Email integrations: every provider connected to your site appears here. Choose a list for each, or click Add Email Integration to connect another
- Custom Field Mapping: send extra details from your custom fields to your provider
- Instructions (optional): tell entrants what they're signing up for
- Opt-in Checkbox: show a checkbox to everyone, to entrants in Europe only, or not at all
Entrants who aren't logged in fill in the entry form. Once they're logged in, it's a single click:
Add a description to your Subscribe action along with an opt-in checkbox (see Opt-in Checkbox above). It helps with GDPR by telling entrants exactly what each subscription is for.
The Subscribe action can send entrants to:
- Acoustic (Silverpop)
- ActiveCampaign
- AWeber
- Benchmark Email
- Brevo
- Campaign Monitor
- Campaigner
- Constant Contact
- Customer.io
- Drip
- E-goi
- Emma

- Klaviyo
- Mailchimp
- MailerLite
- Mailjet
- Marketo
- Omnisend

- Sailthru
- Salesforce (CRM)
- Salesforce Marketing Cloud
- SendGrid
- Sendy
- Shopify
- Unbounce
- Vero
- Vision6

- Zoho (CRM)

To check entrants reach your mail provider:
- Create a Competition with a Subscribe action
- Link the action to an existing list in your provider
- Enter the action yourself from your Competition dashboard
- We automatically invalidate admin entries, so go to Actions / Entries for that Competition and mark your entry valid
- The entrant should show up in your provider within a few minutes
The Subscribe action is very flexible as you are free to followup communication with the entrant however you see fit.
Want to ensure that all of your competition entrants get sent to your list? Then make your Subscribe action Mandatory.
This works alongside other Mandatory actions too. The widget only opens the Subscribe form automatically when it's your only Mandatory action.
If you're an E-commerce store then you may consider offering a timed special offer to anyone that enters your competition. Simply send the subscribe action to your list & have an autoresponder setup to email the entrant.
If you decide to disable our post entry notification email then you also have the opportunity to send a thank-you for entering email to anyone that completes a Subscribe action.
Just note that not all entrants may complete this action, which means everyone might not receive your email.
