If your Admin copies a Sign Up Form into your account, they may have linked automations, fields, scheduled sends and more in the Form. Here's what that means and what it means to unlink an aspect of your Form.

hello vipers in this what's the flow

0:04

we're going to talk about a signup form

0:07

update that in enables some seriously

0:10

cool things so your admins can now share

0:14

signup forms with automations into your

0:17

account that are totally customized to

0:20

you and they can update your forms and

0:24

automations on an ongoing basis so for

0:28

instance you can have a sign up form

0:30

that's used as a coupon Club survey and

0:34

your admin can send the coupon Club

0:36

emails to all of the signups every

0:39

single month now the goal of this video

0:41

is to show you how all of this will look

0:43

in your account but I also want to

0:45

emphasize how one of the coolest things

0:47

about this is how automatic it can be

0:49

for you uh so we really just want to

0:52

familiarize you with what some of these

0:54

new looks are what they mean and uh just

0:57

so there aren't any surprises here so

1:00

we're going to be looking actually at

1:01

two different uh viewpoints in this

1:04

which is from the admin standpoint but

1:07

mostly we of course going to be looking

1:08

at it from your standpoint so this is uh

1:12

the example user that is going to be you

1:16

and we're going to be focusing on this

1:18

signup form right here the coupon Club

1:21

survey uh now just for the basics here

1:25

uh you can get to your sign up forms by

1:28

logging into your account and on that

1:29

left sidebar is where you have sign up

1:32

forms so we'll click this and then here

1:35

are all of the sign up forms in the

1:37

account now one big change is of course

1:41

you're going to be seeing this new badge

1:44

on here which is indicating that it's a

1:46

copy from it says Drew Ross right here

1:48

it'll have your admin's name right there

1:50

so that's how you can differentiate sign

1:53

up forms that you have created purely

1:56

yourself versus ones that have been

1:57

shared into your account

2:01

now um when we click into

2:05

here we see some additional changes so

2:08

up top we can see linked to admin's form

2:12

with these various badges here now what

2:14

that means that this is part I was

2:16

talking about how your admin can kind of

2:18

like push these additional changes into

2:20

your sign up form without you needing to

2:22

do anything at all uh and so these are

2:25

the things that in the sign form your

2:27

admin has control over uh and it might

2:29

different for your assign form so that's

2:31

why we have these badges too because

2:32

it'll change based on what is being

2:35

pushed into here so for instance we can

2:38

see link to advance form are the fields

2:40

these are like what we're looking at

2:42

right here first name last name email

2:46

automations we go over here that'll mean

2:49

things like scheduled emails and uh and

2:52

autoresponders that they add here we're

2:54

going to be digging into that in a few

2:56

minutes and then also the user merge tag

2:59

and again to we're going to discuss what

3:01

that is uh in a in a

3:04

minute now one thing also here is that

3:07

you can take ownership of anything

3:09

relating to this cof form at any time so

3:13

you'll see that these fields are locked

3:15

on until you unlink them from the parent

3:19

so I can kind of take the Reign at any

3:21

point now it is important to know that

3:24

you can't undo that so um once you've

3:27

unlink the fields you can't relink them

3:30

and re sync them back to your admin so

3:32

let's just take a look at what that

3:33

means so we're going to flip over here

3:35

to the admin

3:39

account and so this will be like your

3:41

virtual assistant um or anybody like

3:43

that let's say they want to add phone

3:46

number to this

3:51

and website and we're just going to put

3:54

the website at the top here too I want

3:55

to show how the reordering is a thing

3:58

here so I'm going to go over here

4:00

refresh and look at that now we got

4:02

website first name last name email

4:04

mobile phone number and again this is

4:05

looking in from your account right here

4:08

um but then let's say you decide I don't

4:11

want that website up the top there and

4:12

in fact I'm just going to take ownership

4:14

of all these fields here so I hit onlink

4:17

are you sure yes and now I'm going to

4:20

delete

4:21

website and come come back over here and

4:25

I just want to show like how the admin

4:27

could then change things like put the

4:29

email up top here website's still

4:32

obviously there but we

4:33

refresh none of those changes are taking

4:36

place here so now these are no longer

4:39

synced and what was previously up here

4:42

showing that the fields are linked they

4:44

are no longer linked

4:46

here um what I also want to show and

4:49

this is where things get really cool is

4:51

how how the admin can start to add

4:53

automations and this is really important

4:55

for your coupon clubs where the admin

4:59

can schedule emails to all of your

5:02

signups to go out at particular

5:06

times and let's say we want this to go

5:09

out

5:11

uh November

5:14

1st I'm going to refresh this head over

5:17

to automations and here we go so now

5:19

this admin was able to schedule a

5:22

monthly coupon Club

5:24

email automatically for me and so they

5:27

can just continuously do this on an

5:29

ongoing basis and these emails will go

5:31

to everybody who has signed up and this

5:35

in theory doesn't require any input from

5:37

from you to like this is just plug

5:38

andplay the admin just schedules emails

5:40

out for you your form is out there doing

5:43

its thing collecting these uh surveys

5:45

you're seeing those submissions as they

5:47

come in and again this is not taking any

5:51

work on your part

5:54

uh you know to uh to manage these

5:56

communications and these emails so so as

5:59

every time the admin adds one of these

6:01

these get added here too these

6:04

sends

6:05

um now another thing you can do too is

6:09

let's say you want

6:12

to experiment with some changes to this

6:15

uh email but you don't really you're not

6:16

really ready to break the link here well

6:19

what you could do in that case is just

6:20

go to your signup

6:22

forms and you can copy the signup form

6:26

and so then you'll be able to just you

6:28

can go right here you know create a copy

6:30

into your own

6:31

account you can copy the autoresponders

6:34

and scheduled sends if you want as

6:37

well but now this is a a sign up form

6:41

that is completely yours you can

6:42

experiment experiment with it make it

6:44

your own and you can do all of that

6:48

without breaking those links with the

6:51

template that you're or with the form

6:53

that you're admin has sent your way and

6:56

you can tell the difference here too

6:57

because this says copy from R Ross from

7:00

the admin you don't see any badge there

7:02

you go into this one you can see linked

7:04

to admin's

7:05

form you go into this one and you don't

7:09

see any of that so this is just like a

7:11

normal sign up form as if I'd created it

7:15

myself and one other thing I should

7:17

touch on here too is that you can edit

7:20

things that don't show that they're

7:22

linked um and that won't affect any of

7:25

those links so for instance you can go

7:27

to form

7:28

details you know change the thank you

7:31

message things like that you can go to

7:33

landing page change the page title the

7:36

images all that stuff and that's not

7:38

going to affect that link between you

7:41

and your

7:42

admin now lastly I want to show here

7:47

that uh admins are able to uh link use

7:52

merge tags that are linked to you uh now

7:56

this one actually for some reason is

7:58

setup here it says unlink from parent

8:01

what if you haven't done anything to

8:02

unlink it this will show that it has

8:05

been linked and this is a merge tag that

8:08

you're going to mostly just see this

8:10

that your admin's going to be using this

8:11

merge tag to you know to merge your sign

8:14

up form into social posts and into

8:18

landing pages that they're sending out

8:20

on your behalf but you could also use

8:23

this merge tag yourself too and again

8:26

you'll

8:27

see you know like unless you've done

8:29

something to unlink it you'll see that

8:31

it is linked right here now I hope that

8:35

this is all helpful um again the big

8:38

thing that's exciting about this is the

8:40

fact that so little needs to be done uh

8:45

on your behalf and is this is these are

8:47

making things very easy and Powerful for

8:49

your admins so that they can do even

8:53

more work on your behalf so that you can

8:56

just focus on selling rather than

8:58

focusing

8:59

on these kinds of administrative things

9:01

of course if you have any questions

9:03

about anything reach out to your admin

9:05

reach out to us um we are more than

9:08

happy to help thank you
