New! Create additional subscribe pages

One subscribe page is provided for free in your account. It serves as the primary WordFly Signup page for your organization’s mailing list.

For additional flexibility, you can create multiple subscribe pages that point to different lists within WordFly.

What you can do

• Set up a new subscribe page that feeds into a different list from your primary mailing list
• Allow people to continue to sign up for your primary mailing list, but set up a separate lightbox that adds people to a different list
• Allow people to sign up directly to different department lists
• Create separate forms for different organizations within a consortium so people can subscribe to specific lists
• Allow people to sign up for a specific event list so you can send them information about the event

This feature requires a Pages pricing plan.

There are several options for managing unsubscribes, preferences, and sending, depending on what you are trying to accomplish. Here are two techniques.
