How do I create a Gated Content Form?
- Click on the Websites menu at the top of the screen > Forms.
- Click the button to + Create Form.
- Select Gated Content
- Choose how the viewer will access the content. We recommend using In a confirmation email. When using this option, once the viewer has confirmed their email address they will gain access to the file or link.
- Here you can also add the Content you would like to share. Click to +Add Content and select File or link. You can upload multiple files for the viewer to download on completing the form - The viewer will simply receive multiple download links. If you have selected to share a file After Form Submission it is only possible to share one file rather than multiple. You can also set download limits, for example; download once or download muultiple times within 2 hours.
- Click to Start Designing your Form. More on designing Signup Forms here.
- In Step 4 of the Form builder you can customise the message displayed when someone has subscribed, with a button to download the file or visit your chosen link. This is done using the Gated Content element. If there are multiple files to download you can create a separate button for each one.
If you later change the files included in your Gated Content Form, you will also need to update the form download links by opening up the form and selecting the new file.
How to Report on Gated Content
Once your form is up and running, in the Form Analytics you can find the Downloads area which shows many times a file was downloaded. Clicking View will also display which subscriber downloaded it.
How to Automate using Gated Content
Gated Content Forms can also be used as part of an automation. When a contact downloads a file (either a specific file or any) from a Form, this will trigger an automation.
