Hi all,
I would like to ask my customers for their name and their birthday within the welcome email flow.
I read through a few posts on here
But for all these cases the suggested solution was to use buttons which update their profile properties or to redirect to the manage preferences page.
Using buttons works well when having people choose between a couple of options but it doesn’t work for names or birthdays. (or is there an easy way to make that work? for example to integrate a drop down menu where they can choose the date of their birthday?)
To redirect them to the manage preferences page would be a great option if I could have multiple manage preferences pages one for each language, but from my understanding you can only have one for each list, correct? (And I would like to keep all my subscribers in one main list)
So the third solution seems to be to send people to a “sign-up form” when they click a link/button in my email. With this solution I could have a sign-up form that also matches their chosen language. In these sign-up forms they could easily fill in their name & birthday and these properties would then be added to their profile.
Is that possible? and if yes, my question is how can I set this up so that these forms only appear when someone clicks that link in that email and so that the form won’t appear randomly for other visitors when they browse my website?
Or maybe there is another, simpler solution for my problem?
Thanks in advance :)
p.s. I am already asking new visitors to my website to provide their first name & birthday in a second step in the “subscribe to our email newsletter” sign-up form but these fields aren’t mandatory so for those who haven’t provided these details when they signed up, I would like to be able to ask them about it at a later point within an email flow.
