Build an email signup form

Your signup form is how new people join your list. In BlueyEmail you can build one in a few minutes, drop it on your site, and have every submission flow straight into your contacts, tags, and automations.

Head to Forms in the left sidebar and click New form. A short setup walks you through three steps — Offer, Template, and Setup — then click Open the form builder → to customize the fields, opt-in, and what happens after someone submits. The builder has tabs across the top: Fields, Design, Thank you, Emails, Settings, and History.

Add your fields

The golden rule: ask for as little as possible. Every extra field lowers the number of people who finish. An email address is the only thing you truly need to start emailing someone.

• Email is required on every form and can't be removed — it's the one field that matters.
• Add a First name field only if you plan to personalize your emails with it.
• Skip phone numbers, company, and other details unless you have a specific reason to collect them right now.

Choose single or double opt-in

This setting decides whether new contacts are added right away or have to confirm first. In the form builder it lives under the Emails tab as Double opt-in — "Require email verification before creating a lead."

• Single opt-in (toggle off) adds the person to your list the moment they submit. It's the smoothest experience and grows your list fastest.
• Double opt-in (toggle on) sends a verification email first — the contact only joins after they click the link inside. It's an extra step, but it means cleaner, more engaged lists and fewer spam complaints.

Set what happens after submit

1. 1

   Write a success message

   Open the Thank you tab and add a short thank-you message that appears right after someone submits — for example, "Thanks! Check your inbox to confirm."

2. 2

   Or redirect to a page

   Prefer to send people somewhere specific? Switch to Redirect and paste a URL, like a welcome page or a download link.

3. 3

   Apply a tag on submit

   In the Automation or Actions section, choose a tag to attach to everyone who signs up through this form — for example, "newsletter" or "webinar-lead". Tags make it easy to segment and target contacts later.

4. 4

   Start an automation

   Connect the form to an automation so new contacts get a welcome email (or a whole sequence) automatically. See Build a welcome sequence.

Publish and embed

When you're happy with the form, click Save & Publish in the top bar. BlueyEmail confirms your form is live and gives you a share link and an embed snippet you can paste into your website's HTML — anywhere you'd like the form to appear.
