What is it?

Communication Subscriptions allow for granular opt-in and consent control at the Contact and Workspace levels, ensuring privacy compliance, enhancing opt-in management for integrations, and streamlining opt-ins before marketing communications. Ultimately you are able to simplify consent while providing better data protection.

 

Watch it come to life

 

 

How do I do it?

• Step 1: Create your subscription
• Step 2: Add subscription consent field to forms
• Step 3: Send communications to subscribed groups

Step 1: Create your subscription

• Navigate to your Workspace.
• (1) Click on CRM. 
• (2) Click on Subscriptions.
• (3) Select + Create subscription.

 

Step 2: Add subscription consent field to forms

• Once you have set up your subscriptions, you can now add it to the relevant card forms.
• Navigate to the relevant Card and access the Card Settings.
• Click on the Data capture dropdown, select Form from the options, and select Form in the middle of the screen.
• Click the + sign at the bottom of the form.
• Scroll down your existing contact properties column and select the Subscription you created in Step 1.
• You will then be able to edit the Consent Field settings, including marking the checkbox as required and editing the field label.
• You will now see that the Subscription Consent Checkbox has been added to the form.
  
  

Step 3: Send communications to subscribed groups

• Once your subscription has been created and tested, you are then able to send relevant communications to your subscribed groups. When creating communications, you will only have the ability to send marketing emails to users who have subscribed to those communications and explicitly opted in.

FAQ

How many subscriptions can I create?

You have the flexibility to create as many subscriptions as you require!

How is this different from existing opt-in fields?

Opt-in fields in their current form are set at the Card/competition level. With Communication Subscription Consent, you can create the subscriptions at the workspace level and add them directly to your Cards, removing the need to recreate consent fields on every Card or Competition.

How does this impact marketing communications?

With this new approach, instead of sending emails and then allowing customers to opt out, customers must now opt in first to receive marketing communications. This ensures an added layer of compliance across your communications.

Has this been rolled out for all communications?

Currently, Communication Subscription Consent has only been implemented on marketing email communications. Communication Subscription Communications will be implemented across transactional emails and SMS communications as an optional feature in a future release.
