The following article describes how to set up the add-ons you can use with your Arlo Website.
Newsletter add-on
The newsletter add-on allows people to subscribe to an external mailing/newsletter list by simply entering their email address into the subscription field on the Arlo website. This add-on feature is a separate stand-alone feature that should not be confused with the core Arlo newsletter subscription method.
Note: To take newsletter subscriptions during event registration, see Manage newsletter subscriptions.
Enable the newsletter
- Open the Settings menu
- Select Website.
- Select the Add-ons tab.
- From the newsletter add-on, click Edit.
- Click Enable.
Complete your newsletter settings
- Select the Add-ons tab.
- From the newsletter add-on, click Edit.
- Fill in the Label and Message.
Example: How the Label and Message appears on the website.
- Insert your Form action. This is required, and specifies the action attribute of the form.
- Select the Email Field method that you want to action (i.e POST or GET).
Note: The method attribute specifies how to send form-data (the form-data is sent to the page specified in the action attribute).- POST - Sends the form-data as an HTTP post transaction, i.e appends form-data inside the body of the HTTP request (data is not shown in URL)
- GET - Appends the form-data to the URL in name/value pairs: URL?name=value&name=value. Useful for form submissions where a user wants to bookmark the result.
- Enter the Email field name. This is required as it assigns a field name to the form, thus allowing name/value pair.
- Press Save or Save and close.
