Set up your Contact Page & Newsletter

If you don't have the template:
  • Insert the top banner Image.
  • Insert an image or text block to describe the best way to contact you. It is often recommended to not put your email on a website, as this makes it easy for email harvesting bots to spam your email. Perhaps create a mailto:--@-- link, or write your email in the format "me at gmail dot com" (replacing "@" and "."), or put it on an image. To understand more read this. Or perhaps you want to link to your Calendly booking site for exploration calls, or specify your working hours or the amount of time it typically takes you to respond to inquiries, etc.
  • Insert an email form and make the integration with your email provider. To do so, go to the main Podia dashboard, under Settings, Integrations, and select ConvertKit, MailChimp or whatever platform you are using. You can also choose to use Podia's Email Marketing for broadcasts and campaigns (included with all plans). Make sure you set up tags with each form or purchase cart so you can later segment your audience (also from backend dashboard).
  • Header and Footer will appear by default.

How to create a zap in Zapier to connect Podia to your email provider? Here's a tip:

Remember to create tags in your email tool first (e.g. Newsletter; Audio #1 purchase; Coaching package x3).
Consider setting up at least one welcome email as a Sequence to confirm subscription, give a brief orientation and overview of your work and resources you have available, and welcome new folks to your community. 

Use Zapier to connect Podia to your email provider. Examples of zaps you will need to set:
1) Trigger: new email list subscription in Podia
Action:  add tag to subscriber (with Newsletter tag) in {your email provider} + add subscriber to sequence (if you have a welcome sequence set up) 
2) Trigger: new sale in Podia (for example, a digital download)
Action: add tag to subscriber (with tag of product purchased) in {your email provider} +  add subscriber to sequence (if you have a welcome sequence set up) if they are new to your list

You can include everyone in your mailing list and send your newsletter as Broadcasts.
