Starting a Workflow based on a specific Sign Up Form

AWeber allows you to deliver tailored content to subscribers based on their interests. By linking sign up forms to specific tags, you can automatically start unique workflow series for different subscriber groups.

Key Terms

  • Tag: A label added to a subscriber to identify their interests or actions (e.g., "Book 1", "Webinar", "VIP"). Tags help trigger automations and organize contacts.

  • Workflow: A sequence of automated actions such as sending emails or applying tags, based on subscriber behavior or characteristics.

  • Starter: The condition that triggers a workflow to begin. In this case, it's a specific tag added to the subscriber.

Instructions

  1. Go to the “Sign Up Forms” tab.

  2. Click on the name of your form to open the Sign Up Form editor.

    Click the form name

  3. Add a tag to the form.
    Example: Use the tag "Book 1" for one form and "Book 2" for another.

  4. Create a second sign up form with a different tag.

    At this point, you will have two forms, each linked to a different tag.

Using an AI Signup Form

AI signup forms don't have a tag setting in the editor. To add a tag, ask for it in the builder chat.

  1. Open your AI sign up form in the builder.

  2. In the chat, ask the builder to add your tag to the form. Example: "Add the tag Book 1 to this form."

  3. Save or publish the form.

  4. Repeat for any other AI sign up forms, and use a different tag for each one. Example: "Add the tag Book 2 to this form."


Once each form has its own tag, continue with step 5.


  1. Begin setting up your workflows. When prompted, select the option Only add subscribers who get a specific tag.

    Enter the tag that should trigger the workflow. Each workflow should be tied to its corresponding form tag.

  3. Continue building the workflow as needed. Add emails, wait times, conditions, and other elements.

  4. Set each workflow to an On status.

    Note: A workflow must be turned on before tags are applied in order to trigger the automation.

Outcome

Subscribers who sign up using different forms will be added to separate workflows based on the tag applied. You can also segment and send broadcasts to each group using their tag.
