What is Form Opt-In?

Form Opt-In is the functionality to be able to collect a statement of consent from your audience using a Convertr Form.

How does this work on the Convertr Platform?

As part of best practice, Convertr has made it easy for our users to gain a clear and specific statement of consent from their audience when using the Convertr Form Builder for data capture:

All Convertr forms include opt-in boxes by default, so anyone creating a form in Convertr will automatically have the technology they need to gain and record a positive opt-in every time.

How It Works
  • Convertr’s out-of-the-box form templates come with opt-in and contact options by default.
  • All you need to do is change the default link in the privacy policy to your own.

How it Helps

  • Consent means offering your audience real choice and control. Under GDPR, consent requires a clear, positive opt-in (no pre-ticked boxes).
  • Convertr champions GDPR's data protection by design and default policy, which means the platform is built to incorporate key data protection features where possible, such as the opt-in box.

Creating/Editing A Form to Add Opt-In

Please note: the default text links to Convertr Privacy Policy – anyone using the Form Builder to gain consent will need to change this link to their own privacy policy.

Prerequisites

You will need to create a campaign with a form which will contain the opt-in field (see Creating/Editing A Form for more on form building).

Adding and Editing the Opt-In Form Type

Add a field to your form and change the type to Opt-in.

The text can be changed by editing the content on the right of the terms box. You can add/edit your own privacy link by wrapping your desired copy in an HTML link tag, as shown below.

Edit the text to the right of the contact_choice input to change the label or title, or click the cross to remove this label/title.

Customising the Contact Method Checkboxes

Once your opt-in type has been added to your form, you will be able to see 4 contact methods added by default (email, tel, sms, post).

To customise these options, click the Edit Choices button on the opt-in form block. This will bring up the Choice Editor modal which will allow you to add new options, edit the value and labels of options, re-order options and remove options.
