How to Create a Signup Form in SkyFlow Forms

SkyFlow Forms lets you create beautiful, responsive signup forms in WordPress with zero coding. Whether you want to collect newsletter subscribers, build an email list, or set up a registration form, this step-by-step guide will help you get started quickly.

In this article, you’ll learn how to create, customize, publish, and test a signup form — and even how to set up an unsubscribe page for better subscriber management.

🧩 Step 1: Access the SkyFlow Forms Dashboard

Before you can create your first form, you need to open the SkyFlow Forms dashboard from your WordPress admin area. This is where all your forms are listed and managed.

1. Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
2. In the left-hand sidebar, find and click SkyFlow Forms.
3. You’ll see the Forms Dashboard, showing any forms you’ve already created.
4. Click the Add New Form button at the top or from the submenu to create a new one.
5. The Form Editor screen will appear, ready for customization.

🛠️ Step 2: Create a New Form

Now that you’re in the editor, it’s time to set up the structure and basic details of your signup form. This step covers naming, headings, button text, and labels that define how your form looks and communicates.

1. Enter a Form Name (e.g., “Newsletter Signup” or “Weekly Updates”).
2. Add a Form Heading that tells users what the form is for — for example:
   “Join our mailing list for exclusive updates and news.”
3. Write an optional Note or Description below your heading to make it more inviting.
4. Customize the Button Text, such as “Subscribe,” “Join Now,” or “Sign Me Up.”
5. Adjust Field Labels (like Name or Email) to better match your tone or audience.
6. Click Save Draft if you want to return later, or proceed to design your form.

🎨 Step 3: Customize Form Style & Design

SkyFlow Forms offers flexible styling options that help you match your website’s look. You can adjust colors, background, and layout — no CSS needed.

1. Open the Design Settings tab on the right-hand panel.
2. Select your preferred Button Color — bright tones like blue or green usually convert well.
3. Choose your Background Style: solid, gradient, or transparent.
4. Set your Text Color and Font Size for readability and consistency.
5. Enable Transparent Mode if your form will be displayed on a colored or image background.
6. For advanced users, add Custom CSS for precise styling control.
7. Click Preview Form to see the live version before publishing.

📄 Step 4: Publish the Form on a Page or Post

After creating your form, it’s time to display it on your website. SkyFlow Forms uses shortcodes, making it easy to place forms anywhere — on pages, posts, or widgets.

1. After saving, locate your Form Shortcode at the top of the editor (e.g., [skyflow_form id="101"]).
2. Click the Copy icon next to it.
3. Go to Pages → All Pages, or create a new one where you’d like your form displayed.
4. In the page editor:
   • For Classic Editor, paste the shortcode directly into the content box.
   • For Block Editor (Gutenberg), add a Shortcode Block and paste it there.
5. Click Update or Publish the page.
6. Open your site to confirm the form appears correctly.

💌 Step 5: Test Your Signup Form

Testing ensures everything works as expected before going live. A quick form test confirms that user submissions are being recorded correctly in your dashboard.

1. Visit the page where your form is published.
2. Enter a test email address, such as test@yourdomain.com.
3. Click Subscribe.
4. Wait for the confirmation message (e.g., “Thank you for subscribing!”).
5. Return to SkyFlow Forms → Subscribers in your WordPress menu.
6. Confirm that your test email appears with correct details:

• • Subscriber Email
  • Form Source
  • Status (Subscribed/Unsubscribed)
  • Creation Date

⚙️ Step 6: (Optional) Set Up the Unsubscribe Form

Adding an unsubscribe page gives users an easy way to manage their preferences, ensuring compliance with privacy laws like GDPR.

1. Go to SkyFlow Forms → Settings.
2. Copy the Unsubscribe Shortcode (e.g., [skyflow_unsubscribe_form]).
3. Navigate to Pages → Add New and name it “Unsubscribe.”
4. Paste the shortcode into the page content.
5. Click Publish.
6. Visit the page to verify it works correctly — users can now unsubscribe anytime.

✅ Step 7: Verify and Finalize

Once everything is published, give your form a final check to ensure smooth user experience and accurate data capture.

1. Visit your form page on both desktop and mobile to test responsiveness.
2. Ensure the styling (fonts, colors, and buttons) matches your site design.
3. Confirm that every new subscriber appears in your dashboard.
4. Perform one more subscribe/unsubscribe test for peace of mind.
5. Congratulations — your SkyFlow signup form is now live!
