After customizing the form, open the Integration panel and select SendPulse as the integration, then specify the mailing list to add subscribers to, assign tags to leads, and map custom fields. You can also enable double optin which ensures leads and contact confirms their subscription before they are added to your mailing list.
Please be aware that when the double opt-in setting is activated, users will not be assign tags upon subscribing to SendPulse, even after they confirm their subscription by clicking the link in the confirmation email.
To display the SendPulse email signup form on your site, toggle the activate switch ON at the top (near the “Save Changes” button).
Navigate to the “Display Rules” panel. If you want the opt-in form displayed everywhere (on all pages) on your WordPress site, check “Globally load optin.” Otherwise, use page-level targeting and triggers to determine where and how the opt-in will be shown on your site.
Finally, save the changes.
Preview your WordPress website, and you should see the SendPulse optin displayed. If it doesn’t show up, clear your website and browser cache.
