User Fields
You can pass up to 4 values to MailUp. Either the e-mail or the mobile phone number must be sent to MailUp for the user to be added to the system, so you must make at least one of those two fields required. The other two fields can be associated with any of the additional fields used in your MailUp console under "Manage > Personal Data Fields".
- Check "Show" to show the field in the widget
- Check "Req." to make the field required
- The field code must match a valid field code in your MailUp console. "Email" and "sms" should not be altered. The other field codes can be any of the field codes available in your MailUp console, and they can be located under "Settings > Codes Table". For example, you could ask for First and Last Name.
- You can use as few as 1 field and as many as 4 fields. In the example below, 3 fields are used.
Here is how the plugin looks when added to the Web site with these settings.
