Check out our specific documentation for adding forms to Framer, Typedream and Webflow.
You may want to collect signups from your website directly into Cocoonmail.

​
Generate the form

Easily generate an HTML or JSX form for collecting new signups for your mailing list from inside Cocoonmail. Go to the Forms page, customize your form (such as mailing list, layout, button color and success message) and copy the HTML into your website.

​
Add more fields to the form

It’s possible to add other fields to your form if you want to collect more than just email addresses. When adding new fields, use the “API Name” value found from your API settings page as the name attribute for each field. For example, this field would collect a First Name: 
<input type="text" name="firstName" />
If you want more flexibility when creating signup forms, read about creating custom forms.

<form
  method="post"
  action="https://app.cocoonmail.com/api/newsletter-form/YOUR_FORM_ENDPOINT"
>
  <input type="text" name="firstName" required>
  <input type="email" name="email" required>
  <input type="hidden" name="userGroup" value="Website signups">
  <button type="submit">Sign up</button>
</form>
