How can I add an opt-in field and message to the forms on my website?
Adding an opt-in field and language to the forms on your website helps ensure you’re complying with email marketing regulations and building trust with your audience. It clearly informs visitors that by submitting a form, they agree to receive communications from you.
Here's how to add an opt-in field and language to your website forms:
1. Log into your .RealEstate account and navigate to your website editor.2) Once in logged in, navigate to the form(s) you’d like to add an opt-in field and language to.
3) Click on the form or “Go to popup” link and then click on the form. This will open a “Contact Form Content” box.
4) Under the “Form Items” tab at the top, select “Add field” and under “Field type” scroll down and select “Opt-In.”
5) You can include your opt-in message in the text box below, and link to you full privacy policy in the text box as well (i.e. I agree to receive marketing emails and updates from [Your Name/Business]. For our full privacy policy click [here].) Make the checkbox required if you want to ensure explicit consent before submission.
6) Repeat the process across all the forms/pop up forms on your website.
7) Once you've added the option to all forms, make sure to republish your site to ensure the changes are live.
To create a privacy policy, you may consider using third-party services such as Termly or consulting a legal professional to ensure compliance with relevant regulations.
