Subscribe Actions

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
• GetResponse
• HubSpot
• iContact
• Keap
• Kit
• Klaviyo
• Mailchimp
• MailerLite
• Mailjet
• Marketo
• Omnisend
• Ontraport
• Ortto
• Sailthru
• Salesforce (CRM)
• Salesforce Marketing Cloud
• SendGrid
• Sendy
• Shopify
• Unbounce
• Vero
• Vision6
• Zapier
• Zoho (CRM)
• Zoho (Campaigns)

In order to test if emails successfully send to any of the mail providers above you need to do the following:

• Have a competition created with a Subscribe action
• Ensure that this action is linked to an existing list in the enabled provider
• Enter the action manually from your competition dashboard
• The action will become invalidated (since we automatically invalidate admin actions)
• Go to Actions / Entries for that competition, then make your action valid.
• It should appear in with the 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 sure you setup a single mandatory subscribe action.

This won't work if you have more than 1 mandatory action. Must just be a single Subscribe 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.

You can use these actions to drive signups by using this template:
