How to Set up User Signup

In this help article, we’ll guide you through setting up user signup on your website. This feature allows you to automatically collect users’ names and email addresses in your User Google Sheet.

It’s part of the Access Management feature set which is available on Connect and Bulk Offer plans. To learn more, please refer to this help article on Access rules.

How it works

1. A visitor signs up on your website by entering their first name, last name, and email address via a signup form.

2. After submitting the form, they receive an email containing a verification code, which they must enter to complete their registration.

3. Once the code is verified, the user is automatically added to a specified group in your User Google Sheet and granted access rights (as defined by you).

4. You, as the website owner, receive a New Signup notification and can manually update the user's group if needed.

How to set up user signup

1. In the website editor, go to the Access Manager Tab.

2. Open the Signup page settings and toggle on the Enable signup switch on.

3. Define the Default user group — this is the group new users will be automatically added to after signing up.

4. Customize the text on the Signup page (the Signup page is created automatically after you enable the User signup feature). You can use Markdown to format the text on the page and add elements like headings, links, and lists.

5. Define the Redirect after signup URL where the user will be redirected after signing up. Leave / in the field to redirect users to the home page.

Customize email templates

After a new user signs up on your website, they will receive an email containing a verification code that they must enter to complete the sign-up process. Once they verify their email, they will receive a confirmation email. At the same time, you (as the website owner) will receive a notification email about the new signup.

You can customize the subject and content of these emails to align with your brand voice or provide additional information, etc. To do this, go to Access Manager → Email Settings.

Available Email Templates

• Signup Verification Email

Sent to the user immediately after they sign up.

• Signup Confirmation Email

Sent to the user after they successfully verify their email address by entering the correct verification code.

• Signup Notification to Site Owner

Sent to you (the workspace owner) at the email address associated with your SpreadSimple account whenever a new user signs up on your website.
