If you administer company Facebook pages, we’re pleased to reveal our new Facebook app for HUB4 Mail® subscribe forms,  now add a subscribe form for an existing HUB4 Mail® list to a Facebook page.If you administer multiple pages, you can add one subscribe form per page.The subscribe form app support’s custom fields and can be managed using your HUB4 Mail® login credentials.

While they’re fairly simple, we’ve made it possible to change the introductory text, subscribe confirmation message and tab name on your page’s sidebar.Setting up either the app for your Facebook page takes less than 2 minutes. All you need is your HUB4 Mail® account login details and a subscriber list. you can see it in action at our FB page by clicking here

As mentioned earlier, it’s possible to change the introductory text and subscribe confirmation message. In addition, you can change the client/list the form is linked to in an account. To do so after you’ve initially setup the app, go to your Facebook page, then click the ‘Edit page’ button. On the next page, click ‘Apps’ in the sidebar, then under ‘Subscribe Form’, click ‘Go to application’. You can then go through the setup process again.

To change the default ‘Subscribe to Newsletter’ tab name on your page’s sidebar, go through the steps above, but instead of clicking ‘Go to application’, click ‘Edit settings’. In the ‘Custom tab name’ field, add a new name.

Then, go to Account Settings in your Facebook account (pictured), click ‘Apps’ in the sidebar and click the ‘X’ next to the app again. All HUB4 Mail® account data stored in the app and forms will be deleted and most certainly won’t be stored by Facebook. If you re-add the app, you will be asked to login and create your forms from scratch.

At present, only the page admin who added the app can make changes to a subscribe form (apart from deleting it). If you would like another admin to take control, then you will have to remove the app and all forms first, as per above. Same goes for using the app with another HUB4 Mail® account.
