What the Email Integration Feature Does

Email Integration allows you to embed an email sign-up form directly into your Fusebox players. The players will display on your players via a customizable button. Here's what they look like on each type of player (buttons are circled in red):

How to Enable Email Capture with Your Email Service Provider

To enable Email Capture for use with your web form (if you are a Constant Contact user, go here):

  1. Sign in to your WordPress console.
  2. In the left-hand sidebar, go to Settings --> Fusebox Player.
  3. In the Fusebox Player Settings, select the Featured Button tab.
  4. Select Enable feature from the drop-down box. When you do, you will see this:

  5. In the field Featured button function, choose Email integration. 
  6. Button text, enter the copy you would like to appear on your button. Use a short call to action.
  7. Set your Button background color. The text color will be determined by the Theme Style you have chosen.
  8. The Open Call to Action setting allows you to choose if the box will automatically pop up. By default, users will only see your email form if they push the button, but if you choose one of the other two options, the email form will automatically pop up. In the example above, the box will automatically pop up 60 seconds after an episode begins.
  9. In the Call to Action box, paste your email sign-up form's HTML (make sure it's the embed HTML code). You will find this inside your email service provider; usually, it is in the settings for your sign-up form. Instructions for several email service providers are below. If yours isn’t included in this list, check your provider’s support database for instructions on how to create your sign-up form. Embedding instructions should be included in that article.

Finding Your Email Form's HTML Code for the Call to Action Box

Hiding Email Integration Button within a Shortcode

Note: If you want to have email capture featured on one page, but not featured on another, you'd set up email capture as you want in the Email Integration tab as usual. Then, for those players you don't want the email capture option shown, add  email_portal="none" to your shortcode.
