On GivingFuel, the Subscriber Pop-up invites prospective donors to share their email address so your organization can stay in touch. When you pair it with a Dynamic Email, GivingFuel automatically sends a follow-up message to new subscribers, giving you another opportunity to share your mission and invite them to support it.
You can also add a tag to your pop-up so every new subscriber is automatically tagged with the page they subscribed on. This makes it easy to send targeted Email Blasts and Drip Campaigns to your subscribers. In this article, we’ll cover how to turn on and customize your Subscriber Pop-up, set up a Dynamic Email for new subscribers, and manage your leads.
Warning: The Subscriber Pop-up only collects email addresses. It does not send any emails on its own. To follow up with new subscribers, you must also create a Dynamic Email using the After Subscribe trigger. Click here to learn how.

Automatically Tag New Subscribers
By adding a tag to your Subscriber Pop-up, GivingFuel will automatically tag every new subscriber and show the page they subscribed on. This lets you see exactly where each lead came from and reach them with Email Blasts and Drip Campaigns.
Note: Tags are only added to people who subscribe after the tag is added to your pop-up. Subscribers who joined before you added the tag will not be tagged automatically.
From the Pages screen, click the page you want to edit
Hover your mouse over the Promote tab in the top menu bar
Select Subscriber Pop-up from the dropdown

Note: All “Subscribed on Page” auto tags in your account will appear in the list of tags. If you select a tag already used on another page, subscribers from both pages will receive that same tag.
To track subscribers separately, create a unique auto tag for each page.
Pro Tip: Once an auto tag is created, these tags are managed under the Contacts page. Click here to learn how to rename a tag, turn the auto tag on or off, or change which page the tag applies to.
Note: Inactive tags on your pop-up display a red circle icon. Hover over the tag to view more information about the tag. New subscribers won’t receive the auto tag until you reactivate the tag.
Create a Dynamic Email for New Subscribers
Once your pop-up is live, the next step is setting up the email that follows up with new subscribers. When you set up this email, GivingFuel will automatically send your subscribers an email with the content you add.
Send an Email Blast or Drip Campaigns to Your Tagged Subscribers
When you add a tag to your Subscriber Pop-up, GivingFuel automatically applies it to each new subscriber, helping you identify which page they subscribed on. You can then select that tag as your audience when sending an Email Blast or Drip Campaign, so your message only reaches your subscribers.
Manage Your Leads
Once someone subscribes to your organization, GivingFuel saves the email as a Lead in your GivingFuel account. You can view all Leads under the Contacts tab.
Pro Tip: GivingFuel creates customer leads in these situations:
Subscribed: When someone subscribes through the Subscriber Pop-up, GivingFuel saves their email address as a contact
Abandoned lead: When someone enters their billing email but does not complete the order, GivingFuel saves their email address as a lead
Imported Contacts: When a user imports contacts, they can choose to import their contacts as leads
To view all of the leads, click the Contacts tab from the main menu bar on your account
Under the Filters tab on the left-hand side, click Contact Type
Select Leads
Edit, view, or delete these leads as desired
Pro Tip: If you are automatically tagging new subscribers, you can see all leads who subscribed to a specific page.
To do this, go to the Contacts tab and expand the Tags field on the left hand side. From there, select the tag(s) you want to view. You can then see all contacts associated with this tag.
Note: Subscriber leads will only save the entered email, not any of the other details about the contact. The Contact will not display the page where the lead subscribed unless you automatically tag new subscribers for that page.

FAQs
Can I add or remove a subscriber auto tag from a contact manually?
Can I add or remove a subscriber auto tag from a contact manually?
No. Tags added through the Subscriber Pop-up are auto tags, so GivingFuel applies them automatically and they can't be added to or removed from a contact by hand. This keeps your tag lists accurate.
