Use your own form with MailChimp

I am currently working on a “soon” page, which has one text box and a button where the user can enter their email address to receive a notification when the application starts. I heard that mailchimp is a good tool to use, which handles all the user details that are collected (which means that I don’t need to worry about any scripts and database on my side), and also automatically send email the user who signed up thanking them, etc.

I tried creating a form for use on my site with mailchimp, but I'm just not happy with the general appearance of the forms. Of course, I can change some properties, such as color and all this jazz, but it just does not fit my needs.

Is there a way that I can use an existing html form that I already have with mailchimp? Instead of using the forms you create on mailchimp.

Thanks in advance

You put.

I would look at their article on supporting custom hosted forms . It explains a little how the form fields should look for the jivas with their database. You can also view the source of the form you created, created by mailchimp, and see how the input names / types are combined there specifically for your list.

In addition, paid accounts can use the advanced form mode to customize the HTML that they post to the list.

Yes, as winfred mentioned, there are several ways.

If you know html, just get the code from the html subscription page (for example, through "View Source") and paste it into an empty html page that you can change before uploading to your website.

As you just need a letter, it should be straightforward.
