Your first form
Add the subscribe checkbox to a form, choose the themes and test a submission.
- Open a form in the form editor. It needs an Email field.
- Add a Wereldkundig subscribe me field from the Standard Fields group.
- Under Themes, check one or more themes. A new field has the first theme checked. Check categories of a theme to subscribe to only those.
- Change the field label. It is the text next to the checkbox, so replace “Wereldkundig subscribe me” with something like “Yes, send me the newsletter”.
- Save the form. Go to Form Settings > Wereldkundig, add a feed and under Map Fields choose the Email field for the email address. Save the feed.
- Open the form and submit it with the box checked.
- Open the entry. Its notes say whether the subscriber was sent, for example: [email protected] was sent to Wereldkundig (platform user ID 12). Themes: Nieuwsbrief.
The feed is what sends the subscriber, in the background right after the submit. Without a feed, nothing is sent: the add-on only finds the Email and Name fields by itself when you turn on auto-detected fields.
In the same feed you can map more fields, such as the name, and add conditional logic.
