External Email Form That adds a customer to a Flow
Step 1. Create a List
NAVIGATE:
Main Menu → StoreFronts → Communication → List and Segments
To create your first list, click on the Lists & Segments sub-menu, click New List or Segment, and then click New List.
Give the list a name. If you check the “Allow members to configure their membership” then the list will be public. An additional field will appear to allow the configuration of the public description. Make sure the description is appropriate for customers to see. You can also quick add a few email addresses during the list creation.
Step 2. Create the form
After creating the list simply click on the Signup Form Builder button you will be presented with the model shown below. From here simply select the list you would link to enroll people in and click Next.
There is also an option toggle to collect the customers name which will change the form
Here you will be presented with two options the first is the CJSON file to add the form into an existing Storefront and the second will allow you to download the HTML version so that it can be added into an external website.
Once you have selected your download you can click Finish to close the model.
Step 3. Create the flow
NAVIGATE:
Main Menu → StoreFronts → Communication → Flows
Navigate to the Flows sub-menu under Communications and click on New Flow as shown below.
The new flow dialog will appear as shown below then simply select the New Flow option.

For the Trigger we want to select “List - When someone is added to a list” this will allow us to add someone into the flow when they use the signup form we create above.
Now that we have everything created we simply want to add the form code into our site which will not enroll the customers into the flow that we created above.
