The Input field block allows you to include fields in your sign-up form to collect essential information from your new subscribers. The fields available are based on the contact attributes you have created in Brevo, such as email addresses, names, phone numbers, and more.

The form should at least include a field for Email, SMS, or WhatsApp so that you can later communicate with your subscribers.

The GDPR opt-in block allows subscribers (referred to as data subjects in the GDPR) to use a checkbox to consent to receiving your newsletters and accessing your data privacy policy, which should be linked to the form. You can and should amend the text according to your individual legal requirements.

➡️ To learn more about how to make your sign-up form GDPR-compliant, check our dedicated article Guidelines for a GDPR-compliant sign-up form.

If you use the double opt-in confirmation method for your form, we recommend adding the consent text from your GDPR field to your double opt-in confirmation email template. This is the only way to prove which consent text the subscriber agreed to. To learn more, check our dedicated article Double opt-in (DOI): What it is and how to track user sign-ups
