The easiest way to add a signup form to a Facebook business page is through email marketing integration.

We’ll be using MailChimp to create this integration, but the process should be fairly similar on other email marketing platforms.

Start on the account dashboard and click on the profile menu.

Now click on the “account” option.

Once on the following page, click on the “integrations” tab.

Now click on the Facebook tab, and then on the “login” button.

Make sure that you are logged in to your Facebook account when you take this step!

Next, click on the “continue as” button, and then on “ok” to give MailChimp access to your Facebook pages.

Setting Up The Sign-Up Form

Now your Facebook account is linked to your MailChimp account, so it is time to configure the page where you’ll add the sign-up form.

First, click on the “page to use” drop-down menu button and select the page where you’ll add the sign-up form.

Next, click on the “list to use” drop-down menu button to select the list where you’ll add the subscribers that submit through your Facebook page form.

Now select “yes” under “use sign up form tab”.

By enabling this option, you can add a sign-up tab to your Facebook page, making it easier for page fans and visitors to open and submit the form.

Next, click on the “form theme” to select a theme for your new sign up form.

Now enter the tab label into the “tab label” field.

This is the text that will appear on the tab.

Here we recommend that you add a keyword that would encourage a visitor to sign up, such as “newsletter” or “free eBook”.

If you don’t enter a custom label, it will default to “email sign up”.

Now click on “save” to finish.

The sign-up tab has been added and updated, and you can click on “preview on Facebook page” to check it out.

As you can see, this is an attractive sign-up form that’ll match the design of your page, and that will help you capture email leads on Facebook without forcing them to leave the site. And this is it my friends!

Don’t forget to promote this new sign-up page!
