Collect group signups on a website page

How it works

Once your eCatholic Website account has been integrated with your eCatholic Connect organization, you can collect group sign-ups directly on a page of your website.

You may add the Join Groups module to any page. Once your website visitors enter their information (first name, last name, email), their data will flow into your eCatholic Connect organization and they will:

• Appear in the list of all organization members
• Appear in the list of group members for the selected group(s).

Adding the Join Groups module to a page

Once your website is integrated with your Connect organization, navigate to the page on which you'd like to collect signups for your groups.

Once there, click the Add Content button, then click into the Add-ons category in the module tray.

Locate the eCatholic Connect Join Groups module (shown below), then drag and drop it into a content region on the page.

Configuring the settings for the Join Groups module

Once the Join Groups module has been added to the page, the Group Settings dialog will appear (shown below).

Use the checkboxes to select the group or groups for which you'd like to collect member signups. You may select just one group, or multiple groups. You may also modify the button text that appears on the Submit button.

Once done, click Save.

What the Join Groups module looks like

In order for this section to be visible to your website visitors (and to begin collecting their information on your website), you must publish the page.

If you selected only one group in the settings, website visitors will see fields for first name, last name, email, and phone. If you selected multiple groups, website visitors will also see checkboxes so they can choose which group(s) they'd like to join.

Your members can now sign up to receive messages from the selected group(s) by submitting their information in the Join Groups module.
