Grow RCS subscribers with a sign-up form

Once you have the phone number of an Android device user, you'll be able to communicate with them via RCS by sending campaigns or journeys.

Sign-up forms are an easy way to collect phone numbers from people who sign up to your website.

By adding a phone number collection step to your sign-up forms, you can easily and quickly grow your subscribers.

How to build a sign-up form to collect subscribers

Sign up forms can be completely customized to match your branding and website, and you can add images too to entice your customers.

Because we're building a sign-up form to collect phone numbers so that we can send RCS campaigns and/or journeys, you'll need to make sure you add a phone number block to your sign up form as you build it.

What you'll need

• An RCS Agent and RCS installed as a channel

Step 1: Create a list

The first thing you need to do is create a list. Once your sign-up form is live, every contact that submits the sign-up form will be added to this list. You can then use this list to send campaigns or trigger journeys.

Step 2: Build your sign up form

The next step is to build your sign-up form.

1. From the Marketing section of your workspace, go to Sign-up forms > Create new sign-up form.

2. Name your sign-up form and choose your default language.

3. Under 'Which list should subscribers be added to?', select the list you created in Step 1 from the drop-down.

4. Choose if you want to install your sign-up form on an e-commerce store or on a website, then click Create sign-up form.

5. In the Overview panel on the left-hand side of your screen, click Content.
7. Under 'Contact opt-in', select your RCS channel from the drop-down.

8. Use the settings in the panel to design the phone number block, then click the ← button to return to the form settings.

9. Continue to customize and style the rest of your sign-up form.

10. When ready, Publish and/or embed your form.

What next?

Send a campaign

As users submit your sign-up form, they'll automatically be added to the list you selected during the set-up process. You can use this list to send a one-off RCS marketing campaign to that list.

Trigger a journey

You can set up a journey to run automatically when a contact is added to the list that is connected to the sign-up form.
