Step 8: Branding
- Color Selections: The form comes defaulted with a generic color scheme. Choose to customize any part of the form colors or leave as is.
- Background Images: You have the option to upload your own background or container image. Choose the file and select the correct settings.
Step 9: Timer
Countdown Timer Settings: (Optional) Customize a Countdown timer to display on your form. The Countdown Timer is a great way to create urgency so people take action.
- Set the Timer Expires date and time.
- Customize the colors of the timer or leave it as is.
- You will use the %CountDownTimer% variable created in Step 6 and insert the %CountDownTimer% variable into the header of your form in Step 6.
- Header: The CP Online Form™ Header can be customized with whatever info you want. This is where you may give instructions, descriptions, thank yous, etc., so the customer knows what they should do.
- For the most professional look, it is suggested that you create a Header Image File (PNG, GIF, or JPG) and upload it using the Insert/Edit Image button in the editor. Using the same header image on both the CP Online Form™ Receipt and the Header is a good technique for a professional look. If you leave it blank, no header will be displayed.
- Footer: The CP Online Form™ Footer can be customized with whatever info you want. The footer is typically where you would place your company guarantees, return/cancellation policies, etc.
- If you do use a link, be sure to instruct the link to open in a new window so the customer does not leave the form when they click it. Like the header, you can use an image file or leave it blank.
Step 11: Policies
- Privacy Policy: The CP Online Form™ Privacy Policy is where you indicate your company's Privacy Policy. The link to the Privacy Policy will be placed at the bottom of the CP Online Forms™ and will open a pop-up window. Here, enter your policies, or at a minimum, use the pre-loaded content and delete the text in red font confirming you've read and agreed.
Click [Save/Next]
Step 12: Results
Once the customer submits the CP Online Form™, it will return a result. In most circumstances, you want the customer to be redirected to a "receipt" or "thank you" page. However, you may have the need to redirect the results to your own page/script. For example, if you have a script that creates a new member account on your own website, you would want to redirect to that URL.
Besides sending the customer to a results page, the CP Online Form™ can email them a receipt. Use the two editors below to customize both the Default Receipt Page and the Email Receipt Header and Footer.
- Default Receipt - Once a customer submits the form, they will be redirected to the Default Receipt Page.
- Custom Results Page - Select this option if you need to redirect a customer to another page or script. Enter the CP Online Form™ Custom Results URL. If you are using a custom URL, you will need to download the Auto-Debit System® API Manual for a list of result variables that can be passed to the custom URL. If you are not sure what to do, leave by DEFAULT.
Select [Save/Next]
Step 13: Assigned Categories:
Use the Categories to organize your Online forms, Drip-Ed Campaigns™, and Link Trackers™.
Step 14: Links
- Direct Link: This is the link to this CP Online Form™. You can click it to open the CP Online Form™ in a new browser tab. In the URL, the FID can be changed to any 3-digit code. This is used to identify where you place the link. For example, if you place the link on your website, on Facebook, and on Google ads, use a unique 3-digit code for each so you can see where the link was clicked when looking at your stats.
- Link tracker: The Drip-Ed Link Trackers™ allow you to better track your stats. By assigning this CP Online Form™ to a Drip-Ed Link Tracker™, you will be able to see who clicks the links and more. Then, use its Drip-Ed™ Variable in your email campaigns as links to the form.
- To generate tracker access, click on the [+ Click to Generate Link] button.
