Connecting landing page form with a segment

How to connect a landing page form to a segment?

If you want to segment the contacts that subscribe via your landing page into a separate segment, then you need to add a hidden field to the landing page form.

  1. Open the landing pages tab and then open the landing page.
  2. Click on the form element and then on the right-side menu, add a new field.
  3. Select “Hidden field” as the field type.
  4. In the “field name” field add a new parameter. This is parameter can be later used to create filters.
  5. Use the name of the segment as the field label. Only you can see the label.
  6. Add a new value to the field. It can be as simple as “yes” or something else that can be later used to create a filter with the parameter.
  7. Save the form and test it. Testing is necessary to add the new parameter to he database.
  8. Create a new filter in the “subscribers” tab. Use the newly added parameter and value in the segmentation rules. Save the filter.
  9. Now all the new subscribers who register through that form will be added to the segment as well.
