What Is The Sign-Up Widget?
The WordPress Sign-Up Widget is a quick and easy tool to allow new supporters to subscribe to your Action Network mailing list. It's available as a module within your Green Party provided WordPress site, and looks just like the image below.
What Happens When Somebody Completes The Sign-Up Widget?
You may wonder what happens when somebody has completed the form within the widget. Do they simply vanish into the ether? Rest assured that they'll be added to your Action Network mailing list. Your WordPress site syncs with Action Network via API, and Activists will be added to your mailing list almost instantly.
