Forms
Forms let people join your list from places you already use, such as your website, landing page, blog, or product.
- Collect email addresses and only the custom fields you need.
- Assign tags when someone submits the form.
- Use hosted links, embed code, or HTML Code based on where the form should appear.
Practical Use
What This Feature Helps You Do
See the everyday task this feature supports and the small decisions it helps you avoid handling by hand.
Subscriber Capture
A form gives people a clear way to join your list without requiring you to add them manually later.
Cleaner Subscriber Data
Collect the right fields and tags at signup so each subscriber record is useful from the start.
Simple Website Embeds
Use Mailrith forms on existing pages instead of building your own signup backend.
When To Use This Feature
- Use forms when you need a signup form for your website, blog, product, or landing page.
- Use forms when submissions should create subscribers directly in Mailrith.
- Use forms when tags or custom fields should be added at signup.
When This May Not Be The First Thing To Set Up
- Do not start with forms if you need a full public page with copy, layout, sections, and reporting. Use landing pages for that.
- Do not publish the form until you know what people receive after submitting it.
- Do not collect data you will not use. Shorter forms are usually better.

Avoidable Problems
Common Mistakes To Avoid
Watch for these mistakes because they can make basic email setup and sending harder to troubleshoot.
Making The Form Too Long
Every extra field adds friction. Ask for subscriber details only when they help the next email or segment.
Forgetting Source Tags
A source tag makes it easier to see later which form added a subscriber.
Skipping The Follow-Up
Plan the first email, sequence, or automation before people start submitting the form.
