Registration Forms

Access the registration forms from the left menu “Registration Forms”.

One default form labelled ‘Registration’ is available.

You can add additional fields to this form, or create your own by clicking the ‘Add Profile’ button.

To create your own form, choose a name, and add any instructional text in the ‘pre form help’ field. This will show up at the top of the form.

If you’d rather display the instructions below the form, add it to the ‘post form help’.

In the Advanced Settings you can configure the additional options for organizing contacts and updating duplicates.

Additional options

Add contacts to a Group: When this form is filled out, the new contacts can be added to a group to keep them organized or send out mailings. Notify when profile is submitted: An email address can be added to send an alert when the form is filled out. If you are using this form for an event, it might send duplicate alerts if both the profile is set to send an alert, and if the event confirmation is set to the managers. Redirect URL: When the form is completed or cancelled, a redirect URL can be configured to link them back to your main website or a thank you page (This will be disabled automatically if the form is used for event registrations).Duplicate matching: To keep your contacts organized, it’s recommended that potential duplicates are set to update.
