The Subscribe Link

May 1st, 2008 · 1 Comment ·

If you want to easily collect your contact information, use the “Generate Subscribe Link” feature.

There are 3 ways that you can use the link: email, web page (as text), or web page (with image). Below is how you can easily collect your contact’s information.

How to generate the link:

  1. Login to your account
  2. Click the Group tab that you want to generate the link for
  3. Click on the “Generate Subscribe Link” (under the Actions menu)
  4. (Optional) You can generate a link for the main group or a team within a group. To generate a unique team link, select the team name from the drop-down box
  5. Click Generate

In the “Generated Link” box, the following will generate:

<a target=”_new” href=”https://secure.txtsignal.com/subscribe?key=…”>Sign up for our TXT message alerts!</a>

Note: The ellipses (…) is actually filled with a long web address; I’m just using the … to abbreviate the post.

Email - To send the link through an email, paste just the link portion of the copied text:

https://secure.txtsignal.com/subscribe?key=…

Post on web page, as text - To post the link with a generic text, paste all of the copied text:

<a target=”_new” href=”https://secure.txtsignal.com/subscribe?key=…”>Sign up for our TXT message alerts!</a>

Post on a web page, with an image - You can also post the link and tie it to an image:

<a target=”_new” href=”https://secure.txtsignal.com/subscribe?key=…”><img src=”filename”></a>

    I finally going through my RSS reader catching up on all this, so sorry for the late comment.

    When I sent the link via Email, I actually shrink it first using tinyurl.com so the entire link stays intact. Otherwise, sometimes the link breaks onto two lines and then doesn’t work when the recipient clicks on it.
