Would you like a call from a salesperson?
A newsletter is a low-commitment choice, and a call request turns it into a sales conversation. Give call requests their own form.

Newsletter signup form: ask once, ask clearly
A newsletter signup form collects an email address and a clear yes from someone who wants your updates, and most lists need nothing more. The form should say what subscribers will receive and how often, and it should leave every choice to the person. The judgement that matters most is consent, because a pre-ticked box or a bundled offer makes a list look bigger than the interest behind it.

Field blueprint
Fields for a signup that stays short
| Field | Type | Required | Why you ask it |
|---|---|---|---|
Subscribe | Section header | Puts the one required decision at the top, so the form reads as a subscription rather than a survey. | |
First nameOptional | Short text | Optional | Lets emails open with a name. Keep it optional so people can subscribe without extra steps. |
Email address | Required | The only detail a newsletter strictly needs. Check the format before the first issue, because a typo means a subscriber who never receives anything. | |
Topics you want to hear aboutProduct updatesIndustry newsEvents and webinarsTips and guides | Multiple choice | Optional | Lets you send each subscriber the topics they picked. A short list is easier to keep accurate than a long one. |
How often would you like to hear from us?MonthlyEvery two weeksOnly major updates | Single choice | Optional | Sets the expectation before the first email, so the frequency does not come as a surprise. |
Consent to receive the newsletterYes, send me the newsletter at this email address | Multiple choice | Required | A clear choice the person makes, which you can show later. Leave it unticked by default and do not combine it with other permissions. |

Questions to leave out
Asks that turn a signup into a sales conversation
Which email provider do you use?
Your subscriber's email tool does not change what you send. The question adds effort and no value to the list.
Is the consent box already ticked?
A pre-ticked box does not show a choice, so it does not show consent. Leave the box empty and let the person tick it.
After a response arrives
What happens after someone subscribes
Each signup is saved and handled on the hourly run
The scheduled job handles each saved signup at its next run, which is hourly in production. The creator receives a notification after that run, and nothing reaches your email tool until you import the export.
Export only the addresses that consented
Use the grid's CSV export to build the list, and include only rows where the consent box was ticked. Attain OS does not sync submissions to an email tool, so import the addresses yourself.
Keep the consent wording with your records
When you publish the form, save a copy of the exact text shown next to the consent box. If the wording changes later, you can still show what each subscriber agreed to.
Put an opt-out in every email before the first send
Many email rules require a simple way to opt out in every message. Confirm the exact requirements for your audience with your own counsel, and add the opt-out to your email template before the first issue.
Frequently asked questions
What should a newsletter signup form include?
An email field, a clear consent choice, and one sentence about what subscribers will receive and how often. First name and topics are useful optional extras. Place the consent choice next to the button, so the person sees what they are agreeing to when they press it.
Can I start from a sign up template?
The field list above works as a starting point. Copy it into your form tool, then rewrite the frequency and the consent sentence in your own voice. A template gives you the structure; the promise and the consent wording are what your subscribers actually read.
Can a signup form add people to my email list automatically?
Attain OS forms do not sync submissions to an email tool. You export the consenting addresses as a CSV and import them yourself, which is why the export should contain only people who ticked the consent box.
