Creating a Profile Field
Once you have completed the main JavaScript Integration you're ready to create custom profile fields. Profile fields hold information about a contact who is subscribed to your list. When used with a subscription point, these profile fields can collect additional information a contact filled out on a subscriber form. For example, collecting First Name on an Account Create form or Address on a Checkout form.
When creating a profile field you will need to create an field group if one does not already exist. This is the a file folder or way to organize information. You will then need to create a field for the specific piece of information. If a field already exists you can use the field in the next step below.
For more information on creating a profile field follow this guide.
Setting Up an Email Subscription Point
Once all of the profile fields you wish to collect have been created you can begin setting up your subscription points within the Listrak Platform.
