Subscribe Forms
Subscribe Forms
Subscribe forms let website visitors sign up for your mailing lists directly from your site. When someone subscribes, they're automatically added as a contact and joined to the specified contact groups.
WordPress Shortcode
Embed a subscribe form on any WordPress page or post:
[flnkit_subscribe]
The form renders with an email field, an optional name field, group checkboxes (if multiple groups), and a subscribe button.

[flnkit_subscribe groups="all" button_text="Join our newsletter"]
Subscribe form with title and name field
[flnkit_subscribe title="Stay Updated" description="Get the latest news delivered to your inbox." show_name="true" size="large"]
Subscribe to specific groups
[flnkit_subscribe groups="group-id-1,group-id-2" color="#16a34a"]
How It Works
- Visitor enters their email (and optionally their name)
- If multiple groups are available, they select which groups to join
- They click the subscribe button
- FastLinkIt creates the contact (or finds the existing one by email)
- The contact is added to the selected groups
- A success message is shown
WordPress Settings
Default values for the subscribe form can be configured in the WordPress plugin settings under the Mailing tab:
- Default Size — the default form width
- Button Text — default button label
- Button Color — default button colour
- Show Name Field — whether to show the name field by default
- Title and Description — default heading text
- Groups — default group selection
These defaults are used when the shortcode doesn't specify the attribute explicitly.
