This is a guide for adding a newsletter service to any landing page, allowing users to give their email and consent to be contacted. For a guide to setting up a pre-release link with email capture built into the pre-save flow, please follow this guide instead. For a guide to setting up a bio link with email capture built-in, please follow this guide instead. 
 

Add email capture to a specific link

You can add the email capture service to any of the following link types:
- Release Link
- Playlist Link
- Pre-Save Link
- Bio link

Enable email capture by adding “Email sign-up” under your list of services.

1. Go to “Edit” for your specific link.
2. Select “Service destinations” under the “SETUP” section.
3. Select “+ Add Service” at the top-right of the screen.
4. Type in “Email sign-up” and select it from the dropdown

5. Click "Email Lists" under the advanced settings options on the left side. You can add up to 3 mailing lists to display on the email capture screen.

We're now using Multi Account forms, so the following information is required when adding an email list:

• Email List Name (Free text field) – This will be displayed on the email capture screen, next to the Check Box.
• Party Name (Search Dropdown) – Select the appropriate Party Name and corresponding Party ID.
• Category (Dropdown) – Determines the type of Marketing List(s) you are searching for. This will be Main Artist, Label List etc.

6. After all required fields are filled in, click Search Marketing List – This displays a list of available Marketing Lists that match your search combination.

* The displayed Marketing list and additional information are for the sole purpose of showcasing.

7. Review the Marketing Lists – Additional information is provided, to help confirm where the marketing list is located

Once you have selected the Marketing List a default Form ID will be displayed.

• Country-specific Form IDs are assigned automatically based on board country and the email platform - DotDigital or Braze.
• You may overwrite the suggested form, with a custom campaign Form ID if needed.

NOTE:
1. If you have added the Email sign-up service but have not added any email lists you will not be able to save the link.
2. If you are not sure where to find the IFB Form ID and IFB Address Book ID, please reach out to crmsupport@umusic.com

9. The “Email sign-up” field will now be added to the landing page and ready for visitors to input their email address

10. You can keep the default CTA button text ‘Join’ or edit it under “Services” in the “landing page” section. This is also where you can reorder the order of services on the landing page.

11.  Once a fan signs up via the landing page, Linkfire sends the email address straight to the IFB mailing list(s), ready for you to contact on future marketing emails.  

Add email capture in Board settings

To make email capture a permanent feature across all links created on your board, add “Email sign-up” directly to your board settings under the “Services” section. You will need to add the service to all territories that you would like to capture emails from. You can always remove it or change the order of your services when setting up individual links. 
 

NOTE 
By adding the email sign-up service to board settings, you always need to add an email list ID to every link before you will be able to save it.  If you believe you will only use email capture on certain links we would recommend adding the service on a link-by-link basis.
