WS Form Dotdigital

Description

The Dotdigital addon connects WS Form submissions to the Address Books of the Dotdigital platform, synchronizing contacts with the states Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Resubscribe, Create, Suppress or Unsuppress directly on form submission. Geared toward those who capture leads via the website and need to nurture them through email marketing, the component also pre-fills fields automatically when the logged-in visitor has a matching record in the Dotdigital account, speeding up profile updates.

Main Features of Dotdigital

• Synchronization with Address Books
  Sends the data submitted by WS Form directly to the selected list in the Dotdigital account.
• Configurable contact statuses
  Allows selecting between Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Resubscribe, Create, Suppress, and Unsuppress by action.
• One-click form creation
  Creates the form in WS Form from the structure of an existing Address Book.
• Manual field mapping
  Each WS Form field is linked to a corresponding data field in Dotdigital.
• Auto-population by logged-in visitor
  Retrieves contact data in Dotdigital when the logged-in user’s email already exists in the database.

Benefits of Dotdigital

• Lead capture and nurturing in a single flow
  Each submission feeds email campaigns without manual CSV export.
• Less rework with the contact base
  Subscription statuses prevent duplicates and conflicting entries in the Address Book.
• Fast Form Setup
  The automatic generation from the list saves the time of building fields from scratch.
• Opt-in compliance
  The dedicated checkbox field records the consent required by GDPR at sign-up.

Who Should Use Dotdigital?

• Those who already use Dotdigital for email marketing and need to feed Address Books with leads coming from a WordPress site.
• Marketing teams that maintain landing pages with WS Form and want to trigger automated journeys from submissions.
• CRM teams that need to segment contacts by status (subscriber, suppressed, re-created) without manually editing the platform.

How to Download Dotdigital

By consolidating the bridge between WS Form submissions and the Dotdigital Address Book, this component closes the loop between on-site capture and campaign launch, with field-by-field mapping and subscription status selection. It is the piece that eliminates the export-import intermediary and keeps the database always up-to-date for those running volume email marketing funnels who need predictability in the lead flow.
