- Click on the "Fields" tab and then click on the "Add a field" button.
- Select "GDPR" as the field type.
- Choose the type of GDPR field you want to add (e.g. "Consent", "Location", etc.).
- Fill in the required information, such as the field label and description.
Step 2: Add the GDPR field to your existing form
- Go to the "Forms" tab and select the existing form you want to add the GDPR field to.
- Click on the "Edit" button next to the form.
- Click on the "Fields" tab and then click on the "Add a field" button.
- Select the GDPR field you created in Step 1 from the list of available fields.
- Drag and drop the GDPR field to the desired location in the form.
Step 3: Configure the GDPR field settings
- Click on the "Settings" icon next to the GDPR field in the form builder.
- In the "Settings" panel, you can configure the following settings:
- "Required": Set whether the field is required or not.
- "Default value": Set a default value for the field.
- "Description": Add a description to the field.
- "Error message": Set an error message to display if the field is not completed correctly.
Step 4: Test the form
- Test the form by submitting it with and without the GDPR field completed.
- Verify that the form is working correctly and that the GDPR field is being captured and stored in your Mailchimp audience.
Additional tips
- Make sure to comply with the GDPR requirements for obtaining consent from your subscribers.
- Consider adding a checkbox to your form that allows subscribers to opt-in to receiving emails from you.
- You can also use Mailchimp's built-in GDPR compliance features, such as the "GDPR consent" field, to help you comply with the regulations.
