If your business or organization has its own Facebook Page, Direct Mail makes it easy to add a subscribe form that looks great, syncs automatically with Direct Mail, and doesn’t require your visitors to leave Facebook to sign up! Here’s how to add a subscribe form to your Facebook Page.

First, you’ll need to make sure your business or organization already has a Facebook Page. If you don’t already have one, click here to build one.

Once your Facebook Page is built and working, switch back to Direct Mail. Click on the Addresses tab at the top of the window and select the address group (from the list on the left) that you want your subscribe form to sync with. If you haven’t already, you’ll need to create a subscribe form for that group.

Once your subscribe form is created in Direct Mail, all that’s left is connecting it up to Facebook:

1. Select your address group (from the list on the left)
2. Click Subscribe Form: Edit Form
3. Click Add Form to Website and select Add to Facebook Page…

That’s it! Facebook will confirm that you want to add the subscribe form to your Facebook Page. In Facebook terms, the subscribe form is an “app” that you add to your page.

Once it’s added, visitors to your Facebook Page will see a “Newsletter Signup” app icon at the top of your Page (next to the Photos, Likes, and any other app you’ve installed on your Facebook Page).

If you want to see an example of what the finished product looks like, head on over to our Facebook Page and click the Newsletter Signup tab at the top of the page.

From day one, protecting our customer’s data has been a top design consideration. Nowadays, many people access their Direct Mail project data from multiple devices (including mobile devices using our iOS app, Stamps), so it’s important we provide our customers more information about their account activity.

New: Account Activity

In Direct Mail 3.5, we added a new “Account Activity” section to the Direct Mail Account control panel (choose Direct Mail > Direct Mail Account from the menu bar). Account Activity shows you information about who (or what application) is accessing your account as well as an approximate geographic location.

If you see activity that is unfamiliar (like someone logged into your account on Stamps), you can instantly sign them out by clicking the “X” icon on the right-hand side of the window. That device will be unable to sign back in without first manually entering your email address and password.

We feel that these changes, as well as other behind the scenes improvements, will help continue to keep your passwords and other data safe from unauthorized access. If you ever have any questions about your account, please see our Security FAQ or contact support.
