Adding a Newsletter Sign-up Form with Editor X

The first step in creating a newsletter sign-up form is to add a contact and form element to your Editor X website. Here's how:

1. Open your Editor X project.

2. Click on the `Add` (plus sign) button on the left-hand side of the screen.

3. Scroll to `Contact & Forms` and select the `Subscribe` option.

4. Choose the "Subscribe to Mail List" form template.

This will add a default form to your website, which can be customized according to your website's design and desired functionality. You can also adjust the form's settings to fit your specific requirements.

In the form settings, you have the option to create a table that will store all the submitted email addresses. This table will be saved in your Editor X project's backend, making it easier to manage and maintain your email list. You can also customize the email content that will be sent to your subscribers - this is an essential step in building a personalized user experience.

Once you've set up your form, it's time to head to the backend manager in Editor X, where you'll find an area to manage the interaction that occurs when a user signs up to your newsletter.

Connecting the Email Form to Mailchimp

Now that you have a functional email sign-up form on your Editor X website, it's time to connect it with your Mailchimp account. Follow these steps to integrate Mailchimp seamlessly with your email form:

1. Log in to your Mailchimp account and navigate to the `Audience` section.

2. Select the list you want to connect with your Editor X form. If you don't have a list yet, you can create one within Mailchimp.

3. Navigate to the `Form Integrations` tab and choose `Editor X`.

4. Copy the provided code snippet from Mailchimp.

Next, return to your Editor X project, and follow these steps:

1. Select your email form and click on the `Settings` (gear icon) button.

2. Scroll down to the `Integrations` section and click `Connect Your Form`.

3. Paste the copied code snippet from Mailchimp into the corresponding field.

4. Save your changes, and you're good to go!

Once you've integrated Mailchimp with your Editor X form, all email submissions will be automatically added to your Mailchimp account, making your email marketing process smooth and efficient.
