Can I Collect Emails From Disqus Commenters?

Not from Disqus itself. Disqus doesn't hand over its commenters' email addresses. You can still get them by rewarding comments inside a Gleam Competition, because every Competition asks entrants for a name and email address before they enter.

  1. Create a Competition and open the How to Enter tab.
  2. Add the Disqus Action and paste your post into Article URL. It has to match the page.url in your Disqus setup.
  3. Add Subscribe to a Newsletter if you want commenters sent to your email provider. Only entrants who opt in get sent.
  4. Embed the Competition on the post, so readers enter right where they comment.

When an entrant comes back from your post, we check their comment is there before they get the entry.

Not running a giveaway? A Capture on the post can offer a coupon or a download in exchange for an email instead. It shows to readers on that page, whether or not they've commented.
