File Download on Email Opt-In in Squarespace

Here's how you can give away an eBook or report to your email list subscribers by allowing for file download on email opt-in for your Squarespace website!

It’s not that difficult at all. There are actually 3 methods to accomplish this.

  1. Set up MailChimp to send an automatic email to subscribers (requires modifying the Welcome email, or going with a paid subscription plan on Mailchimp)

  2. Set up a landing page for the giveaway, and then redirect people here after an opt-in.

  3. Give people access to the file IMMEDIATELY after they opt-in.

For methods 2 and 3, here are the instructions.

Step 1 - Adding a Form

Insert a FORM block onto any page, ideally, you should ask for just email, but you can also ask for visitors to provide their first and last name.

Step 2 - Setting up the Redirect

Go to the ADVANCED section of the form and look for the section labelled "POST-SUBMIT REDIRECT".

Now you simply click inside that section, and locate the page on your website, or insert the URL for a file.


If you would like people to be able to download the file right away, enter your text (ex. “Download Now”) as the text in POST-SUBMIT MESSAGE and then highlight the text and make it a link to a file as shown below.
