EasySignup
EasySignup
The easySignup action allows you to pass data from a simple registration form through an import template with a simple post to our tracking server.
Note: using easySignup is an alternative to the preferred method of making a POST to our API server, which is the most secure method for data transfer.
Before creating an easy signup form, you will need to create an import template. This import template should have the fields which you are passing via your form.
Creating an easy signup form
- Before you start, you will need:
- The ID of your import template - located in the import template menu (More -> Settings -> Import Templates).
-
Your site ID - located on the server tab within (under site details).
Tip: ask your Customer Success Manager what your Site ID is if in doubt.
- A redirectURL - the page you wish to redirect to after processing.
-
Create a HTML form using the following URL parameters.
- action - "easySignup".
- address - plain text of the data set to be imported.
- importTemplateID - ID of an existing PostUp import template to process the data.
- siteID - ID of the PostUp instance.
- redirectURL- where to 301 redirect the browser after processing.
Example html form:
<html><head><title>signup</title></head><body><form method="POST"action="https://mailingdomain.com/Subscribe.do?action=easySignup"target="_blank"><input type="email" size="50" name="address" placeholder="Enter YourEmail Address"/></p><input type="hidden" name="importTemplateID" value="X"/><input type="hidden" name="redirectURL"value="http://www.postup.com/thanks"/><input type="hidden" name="siteID" value="XXXXX-XXXX-XXXXX-XXXX"/><input type="Submit" name="Subscribe"/></form></body></html>Caution: ensure you use a mailing domain which you have on your PostUp site for the form code. These mailing domains point back to the PostUp tracking servers to receive the inbound requests.
-
Upload your form to the desired location, e.g. a page on your website.
When the form is submitted, the information is passed to via the specified import template.
After processing, the redirectURL is displayed to the end user.
