Form Edit

For integration with Facebook and/or your wesite and for QR Code generation, click on the “Integrate with your site” Tab.

To integrate your subscription form with your website, click the HTML code inside the Embeddable HTML box.  Press Control+C to copy the code.  You can then paste this code on to your website.
