Adding First Name & Last Name Fields to Promotional Popup

Is there a way to add additional fields to a promotional pop-up? I'd love to just collect First Name & Last Name data (separately) for my popup, which currently only collects email addresses.

Hi, Have you ever figured this out? I'm having the same question 

I'm also after this information! Seems crazy that this isn't an option!

I would LOVE it if there was an option to at least have the First Name field in the promotional pop-up box.  But alas, it doesn't look like squarespace offers that option.  Hmm I wonder if there's place to submit this feedback.

Brandi, I really like your site.  Which squarespace template are you using?

Ive been using Privy because they allow first and last name - and it works on mobile well as well. kategibbs.com

Me too! So frustrating! A first and last name would be brilliant. https://kategibbs.com/ 

HEY SQUARESPACE, CAN WE GET A SOLUTION FOR THIS?

Featherandfrond, you can enter her URL at this pretty cool site and it will tell you. I believe her beautiful and awesome site is from the Brine family and looks (from what I can tell) the actual Brine template.

Squarespace needs to be notified at Customer Support by a bunch of us, it seems (one the Squarespace Admins in this thread instructed us to go to:  https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?_ga=2.77568659.787890910.1594317810-1789806965.1575485542#choose-topic

Maybe if everyone does it, they'll fix it! This issue is a big one so that we can collect names and personalize the experience via emails. 

Has there been any development on this? I am going crazy trying to figure out how to either add a pop up with first name OR an inline form widget, any tips?

Hey, everyone! My sincere apologies on not following up until now. I hadn't gotten any notifications that folks had replied. In response to some of the Qs I've seen here:

1. I decided to use Leadpages for my promo pop-ups. They even allow for exit intent pop-ups, which Squarespace also (bafflingly) doesn't do, either. I chose them for a lot of other reasons, too, but happy to answer more questions about them if folks have them.
2. I actually don't know what native template it is (or isn't) built on, but I purchased a build-it-yourself template from Big Cat Creative, so that's why it looks so incredible and beyond what you typically see in native templates.

I love both Leadpages and Big Cat so much I became affiliate partners of both of them. So, those links are affiliate links. Use them at your own discretion; I'm not here to sell you. But, again, happy to answer questions AND truly back them both so much that I'd want anyone to know about them. They've both been incredible solutions for my business. (I get site compliments constantly AND my lead pages convert massively—my primary one converts to the tune of 49%). So...please do check them out!

If you find free solution, I wrote this guide yesterday. It allows you to convert Newsletter Block to Promotional popup.

Hey Brandi, so if I understood well you use both Squarespace and Leadpages for your business? Why don´t you just use Leadpages only? Thank you!

Hey, @Rama. Great question. As far as I'm concerned, Leadpages is a lead generation tool, with functionality only for lead/landing pages, pop-ups, etc. Can you use it for your whole website? Sure. But Squarespace is a full-blown CMS, where you can blog, do e-commerce, and all of the other features that come with a CMS, like WordPress or the like. Hope that helps!

Thank you Brandi! Hey, and good luck with you new creative journey! Kisses from Spain!

@tuanphan Does this newsletter block approach still work with FE?

I haven't tested with FE, but the code target form-block id, so I guess it should work.

I'm so shocked squarespace still haven't made the feature available to easily add first and last name to a popup for collection. I've found it available to do within a page but not for a popup. 

Why is this?

Surely quite a lot more customers than just here would like this feature?

Please add "Name" and "Last Name" ASAP. Not gona use a 3rd party to get this to work. It is not acceptable to keep these fields blank:

Thanks!

I'm having issues with this on two websites unfortunately. I did email Squarespace about it just now, so hopefully we can get some movement in this area soon. I know the more people who ask for this feature, the more likely we are to get it!

This simple {Name} feature still has not been added to the form. 😏 I'm very surprised  this is not a standard feature.  I just canceled my Flodesk... Yikes 😬

I have just contacted Squarespace's customer service on this issue as well. It's such an important feature and I don't understand why they don't have it. Email blast would be so awkward without the recipient's name!

Me too, Come on Squarespace, this isn't good enough we need first and surname fields at the very least.
