signup in WordPress.

00:00:06.020 --> 00:00:09.740

Click the headline on the canvas and replace its text.

00:00:32.492 --> 00:00:36.692
The setup already includes supporting copy, a clear request button,

00:00:36.692 --> 00:00:38.692
and permission to send the newsletter.

00:00:38.900 --> 00:00:41.580
Select the fine print to add a privacy link.

00:00:42.011 --> 00:00:43.731
Enter Privacy Policy.

00:00:44.150 --> 00:00:46.830
Select those words, then choose Link.

00:00:47.234 --> 00:00:50.434
Leave the address empty to use the privacy page selected in

00:00:50.434 --> 00:00:52.634
WordPress, and apply the link.

00:00:53.057 --> 00:00:56.057
Use your own published policy on a real site.

00:00:56.267 --> 00:01:00.307
Open the Received screen to check what happens after submission.

00:01:00.307 --> 00:01:03.342
This message confirms that the request was received.

00:01:03.611 --> 00:01:06.371
It does not promise an email has been sent.

00:01:06.600 --> 00:01:11.240
In Destinations, keep this first test in WConvert only.

00:01:11.240 --> 00:01:13.320
It saves the lead in WordPress.

00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:16.240
No newsletter or confirmation email is sent.

00:01:16.467 --> 00:01:19.707

Under How often, keep once per visit and stop showing it

00:01:35.316 --> 00:01:36.436
after submission.

00:01:36.667 --> 00:01:38.787
Open Preview to try the form.

00:01:39.053 --> 00:01:40.653

Enter a sample email address, accept the permission, and submit.

00:01:47.305 --> 00:01:48.785
Check the Received screen.

00:01:49.208 --> 00:01:52.488
Preview does not save a lead or send a message, so

00:01:52.488 --> 00:01:54.368
we still need a live test.

00:01:54.600 --> 00:01:55.638

Open the test page as a visitor in a fresh browser

00:02:11.413 --> 00:02:12.253
session.

00:02:12.373 --> 00:02:14.893
After five seconds, the popup appears.

00:02:15.324 --> 00:02:18.804
Enter a test email address and accept the newsletter permission.

00:02:19.295 --> 00:02:21.815
Send the request and check for the acknowledgement.

00:02:22.175 --> 00:02:26.215

00:02:26.433 --> 00:02:29.953
In Leads, filter by your campaign and search for the test

00:02:29.953 --> 00:02:30.793

Open its submission to check the email, campaign, and consent

00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:35.220
wording.

00:02:35.300 --> 00:02:37.420
This confirms capture in WordPress.

00:02:37.700 --> 00:02:39.980

00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:42.560
Your first signup is saved.

00:02:42.600 --> 00:02:46.400
Before inviting real readers, connect your email service and test

00:02:46.760 --> 00:02:47.400
delivery.

00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.160
Follow the written guide whenever you need the steps.
