Thursday, October 24th 2024Written By Yared

If you’re planning events, managing a team calendar, or organizing a community, gathering subscriber information is essential to stay informed and connected with your audience. CalGet makes it simple to collect and manage subscriber data. In this blog, we’ll walk you through how to collect calendar subscriber information using CalGet, step by step.

Step 1: Log in to Your CalGet Account

To begin, log in to your CalGet account. Once you’re in, navigate to the Calendars menu on the left-hand side of the dashboard. Here, you can see all the calendars you’ve created.

Step 2: Select the Calendar You Want to Track

Next, click on the calendar you want to collect subscriber information from. When you open it, you’ll see an overview of your calendar, including event names, dates, and more. At the top of the page, find the Subscribers tab and click on it.

Step 3: Access Subscriber Information

In the Subscribers tab, you’ll automatically see some basic details about your subscribers, such as the platform they’re using, their country, and the date they subscribed. But if you want to gather more specific information—like contact details—you’ll need to take one more step.

Step 4: Enable Personal Information Collection

To collect additional details from your subscribers, toggle on the Collect Personal Information option. This feature allows you to create a form that subscribers will fill out when they sign up for your calendar.

By default, CalGet will ask for their Name and Email Address, which is often enough. If you’re satisfied with collecting just these details, simply click Save and you’re ready to go.

Step 5: Customize Your Form (Optional)

If you need more information from your subscribers—like their phone number or how they found out about your event—you can add custom fields to your form. To do this, click the Custom Field button and enter the additional fields you’d like to include. Customize the form to suit your event or organizational needs.

Once you’ve finished adding fields, hit Save to apply your changes.

Step 6: Test the Form

To ensure everything works as expected, go to your calendar’s public page and try subscribing yourself. As you subscribe, you’ll see the form you created appear, asking for the information you’ve requested. After filling it out and clicking Subscribe, your subscription will be confirmed.

Step 7: View and Manage Your Subscribers

Back in the Subscribers tab of your dashboard, refresh the page, and you’ll see your new subscriber’s information listed. You can view all the details they’ve shared, which helps you keep track of who is subscribing and what information they’ve provided.

Step 8: Manage and Export Subscriber Data

If you need to manage your subscriber list, CalGet provides several options. You can block individual subscribers by clicking on their profile, or export your entire subscriber list as a CSV file for use in other tools. With just one click, you can easily transfer your data wherever you need it.

Conclusion

Collecting and managing subscriber information with CalGet is quick and easy, giving you more control over your audience’s details. Whether you’re collecting RSVPs for an event, organizing a calendar for your team, or tracking subscriber engagement, CalGet’s user-friendly features streamline the process.
