Collecting Fan Data

Set up the form that collects a fan's details on funnel, poll, and presave links.

Funnel links, poll links, and forever presave links can all ask a fan for their details. The setup is the same on each, and it lives on the Data Collection tab. This page walks through it once.

Turn it on

At the top of the tab is a master toggle, Collect data from fans. With it off, the link does not ask for anything. Turn it on and the rest of the settings appear.

Choose what to ask for

You pick which details to collect from a short list. For each one you turn on, you also decide whether it is required or optional for the fan:

• Email

• Phone Number

• Name

• Instagram Handle

• TikTok Handle

You need to collect at least one of email or phone, since those are how you reach a fan later. Keep the form short. The fewer things you ask for, the more fans finish it.

Location

You can also learn where a fan is:

• From IP address: ForeverFan works out their rough location on its own, without asking. The fan does nothing.

• Ask fans directly: the form asks the fan where they are. You choose between just their city and country, or a full mailing address if you plan to send something physical.

The form's words

You set the copy on the form itself:

• Form Title: the heading on the form.

• Form Subtext: a line under it explaining why you are asking.

• Submit Button Text: what the button says, like "Count me in."

The Thank You step

After a fan submits, they hit the Thank You step. You write a short thank-you message here, up to 280 characters.

You can also set an optional redirect on this step: a URL the fan lands on right after they submit. On a funnel link this is where you deliver the goods, like a download or a Discord invite. Leave it blank and the fan simply sees your thank-you message.

What fans see

When a fan hits your form, they see the title and subtext you wrote, the fields you asked for, and a checkbox they need to tick to continue. The checkbox reads:

I agree to share my information with {your artist name}.

Under it is the fine print that keeps you compliant:

By checking this box you agree to receive marketing SMS and email from {your artist name}. To opt-out of SMS, reply STOP to stop. Msg & Data rates may apply.

It also links to the Terms and Privacy Policy. A fan has to tick the box before they can submit, so everyone in your audience has agreed to hear from you.

Once they submit, they see your thank-you message, or go straight to your redirect if you set one.
