Hello All, 

 

I am looking to auto populate the users email when they go to our unsubscribe page. 

Here is the current code for that portion and I would love some help on how to get their email to auto populate! 

 

<body>
      <div class="container">
         <div class="header">
            <img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0369/6721/9340/files/logo-loll-designs-wordmark_251x.png?v=1613683599/100x100" />
            <h1>Email Preferences</h1>
         </div>
         <form action="" id="preferences_form" method="POST" role="form" class="form-horizontal">
            {% if form.non_field_errors %}
            <div class="alert alert-danger">
               {% for error in form.non_field_errors %}
               {{ error }}{% if not forloop.last %}<br />{% endif %}
               {% endfor %}
            </div>
            {% endif %}
            <input type="hidden" name="$fields" value="EmailInterests,EmailFrequency" />
            <input type="hidden" name="$list_fields" value="EmailInterests" />
            <!-- <input type="hidden" name="$unsubscribed_url" value="/p/preferences_updated" /> -->
            <!-- <input type="hidden" name="$updated_profile_url" value="/p/preferences_updated" /> -->
            <!--<p class="required-fields">
               <span>*</span> Required Information
               </p>-->
            <div class="form-group{% if form.errors|lookup:'$email' %} has-error{% endif %}">
               <label for="email" class="col-sm-3 control-label">Email Address<span class="required">*</span></label>
               <div class="col-sm-9">
                  <input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" name="$email" value="{% if request.POST|lookup:'$email' %}{{ request.POST|lookup:'$email' }}{% else %}{{ person.email|default:'' }}{% endif %}" />
                  {% if form.errors|lookup:'$email' %}
                  <p class="help-block">{% for error in form.errors|lookup:'$email' %}{{ error }}{% endfor %}</p>
                  {% endif %}
               </div>

Hi @AmandaK and welcome to the Community!

 

May I ask what your specific use case is? In other words, is there a particular reason why you wouldn’t use the default unsubscribe page that can be found in Account > Settings > Email Preference & Subscription? This unsubscribe page will auto-fill the subscriber’s email by default, so this will just help myself and others get some more perspective on the issue. 

 

What appears with the current code as you have it now? Is everything working except the email isn’t populating? Also, how are you testing this? 

 

While this issue may require some more in-depth development help (our Official Partners if interested), these questions will help to clarify the issue.

 

In the meantime, here is a helpful guide to creating custom consent pages like yours.

 

Thanks for using the Community!

Hey Brian, 

 

We are attempting to learn more about why our customers are choosing to unsubscribe so we have added additional options beyond the unsubscribe reason. @Brian Turcotte is there a way to pull the code from the traditional unsubscribe button so that I can copy that code into my custom sheet? 

I would like the users email to auto populate so that they have a better experience. 

 

Thank you.

Hi @AmandaK

 

Popping in for @Brian Turcotte here! 

 

Thanks for that additional insight! I get why you would want to capture that insight! 

 

However, as this would be a custom form, we cannot help set this up or troubleshoot any further!  One of our partners, or specifically  a Community Champion  (who are all partners!), would love to help set this up for you! 

 

-Taylor
