When your form is integrated with GetResponse, once a user submits the form, a contact will be created in the GetResponse list using the submitted data.
You can integrate the form with GetResponse according to the following steps.
Step1: Generate an API key in GetResponse and create custom fields corresponding to all the fields in the form
1. Log in to GetResponse.
Please click here to go to the login page.
2. Click on Tools, then select Integrations and API.
3. Select API, then click Generate API key.
4. Please save the API key, as it will be needed during integration.
5. Go to the Contacts page, where you can create a list in Lists.
6. Select Custom fields, then click Create custom field to create a custom field corresponding to the form fields.
When creating a custom field, you will encounter the following questions:
(1) What type of information do you need?
(2) How to present or collect custom field values?
For the first question, you need to select the data type corresponding to the field in the form.
For the second question, your choice detetmines how the form data will be displayed in the contact.
Please note that if the type of the custom field does not match the form field, a contact will not be created in the list after the form is submitted.
For example, if your form includes a First Name field, your choice for the first question should be Text, and your choice for the second question should be Line of text.
The table below shows the data types of custom fields corresponding to form fields.
