How does the system page Script_subscribe work?

With Script Subscribe, you can forward form submissions directly to Spotler MailPro, without using a REST API or other technical integrations. This solution is ideal if you want to continue using your own form, but still need the registrations in MailPro for sending marketing campaigns or newsletters.

Script Subscribe consists of a small piece of code that you place directly after an existing form. This script contains a URL with parameters. As soon as this URL is called, the entered form data is automatically and immediately imported into MailPro. Thanks to this approach, Script Subscribe is a low-threshold and fast way to connect forms to MailPro, with minimal technical effort and without additional integrations.

System page settings

Go to the Content module and navigate to System pages. Here you will find the system page script_subscribe. It may be displayed in red and crossed out, which means the page has not yet been activated. Double-click the page, or select it and click Edit, to go to the system page settings:

• Active
  Determines whether the script can be used. If this is set to no, the script will not work.
• Title
  This title is only visible within Spotler MailPro itself.
• Template
  This option can be left empty. Script Subscribe is used exclusively as a script and the template is not visible anywhere.
• Language
  Script Subscribe can be configured per language. For each language, you use a separate Script Subscribe.
• Linkable
  Can remain set to no. This option is only relevant if you want to use the script from within a mailing.
• Enable ReCaptcha check
  This option does not need to be adjusted. ReCAPTCHA must be configured on the form itself, not within Script Subscribe.
• Minimum ReCaptcha score required
  Again, this option does not need to be adjusted. ReCAPTCHA must be configured on the form itself, not within Script Subscribe.
• Confirmed or Direct subscribe?
  Choose Confirmed for a double opt-in. Choose Direct for a single opt-in.
• Subscribe group (Direct subscribe)
  Only available with direct sign-up. This allows you to place registrations directly into a specific group.
• Confirmation / welcome mailing
  With Confirmed, it is necessary to select subscribe_confirm here (or a mailing with the same properties). With Direct sign-up, this field can remain empty, unless you want to send a welcome email immediately.
• For existing recipient: overwrite existing data
  Determines whether existing data is retained (no) or overwritten by the new data from the script (yes).
• IP number(s) that can use this plugin
  For security reasons, the IP addresses that call the script must be whitelisted. This prevents misuse. IP addresses are required to activate the script.
• Redirect URL
  This is optional. After registration, the visitor can be redirected to, for example, a thank-you page.
