Release Notes – February 2026

We’re excited to introduce new, powerful features and improvements designed to help you grow your audience, gain better insights, and work more efficiently. Here’s what we focused on in February!

One of the most requested features is finally here — embedded Sign-Up Forms are now available!

You can now create and embed forms on your website to capture new subscribers in minutes.

What You Can Do:

Create forms using a familiar drag-and-drop builder
Add standard or custom contact fields
Include privacy messaging using a text block
Customize confirmation and success messages
Automatically assign new subscribers to Tags and/or Lists
Set confirmation language (any supported language)
Copy and embed the form code on your site
Update forms anytime — changes automatically reflect without re-embedding

Built-In Spam Protection

Forms include reCAPTCHA protection by default to prevent bot signups. Most real users won’t even notice it, but it helps keep your list clean.

When a contact signs up through a form, the activity feed reports it.
