We may be redesigning a site that has a newsletter sign up on it. I’ve never done that before. Is that a big task in Freeway?
I guess there’s no Action or anything that simple.
Thanks.

If you are sending out a newsletter yourself, then you can use a simple form and apply the PHP feedback form action this will capture the email address - it will come into your inbox.
Just have the following fields in your form:
Name
Email
If you are sending through a service such as MailChimp then it should give you the form code that you can then paste into a ‘MarkUp’ item on your page.
Are either of these options the route you are taking?

Hi, Nathan…
Well, we are redoing a site and I noticed they had the newsletter sign up. I did more investigating and discovered they use Constant Contact and they do indeed give you the code to use.
Can this be placed in a Markup Box, or is there anther way this would be inserted in the page?
Thanks.

Yes if they give you the code, it can simply be placed into the markup box.

Either use Markup box with that box floating as a layer, or use Crowbar Action if you want to insert it inline (as in an inline layout). If you use an inline Markup box, you will end up with an invalid construction – a DIV or FORM inside a P. Also, if you already have a form on the page, you must break out the Multiple Forms suite of Actions. Otherwise you have the dreaded form inside a form, which means the CC form will not work about two thirds of the time, and leave you scratching your head.

Thanks, guys.
I have the Crow Bar action, so I’ll keep that in mind.
