How can my subscribers manage their details?
This is an EmailOctopus Pro feature. You will need to be on a paid EmailOctopus plan to access and use it.
You can use the Subscriber profile page feature to let your contacts edit the data you store on them.
To start, access your list and head to the Consent & customisation tab. Click on Subscriber profile page to edit it.
You can drag and drop elements (text, images, dividers) onto your design to personalise it. And if you want to add or remove specific fields, click on the form itself and select the fields from the left-hand menu.
When you click on a field, you can also make it required. If you select this option, your subscribers won't be able to save any changes unless they fill out this field.
The email address is not editable in the subscriber profile.
You can personalise the page even further in the Style section. Choose your logo, your Form background and Page background, and the default font.
Once done, click "Save".
To allow your subscribers to edit their data, you'll need to add a link to this page in your campaign. To do it, add a text block and type the space bar, then select it and choose "Profile URL" from the merge tag drop-down:
Alternatively, you can also write your own text and hyperlink it with the {{ProfileURL}} merge tag:
And this is what your subscribers would see on their end once they've clicked on that link (depending on the data they have provided):
They can update any fields that aren't greyed out and click "Update my profile". They can also unsubscribe from your list.
