ℹ️ Who this tutorial is for
A signup page is a standalone web page with its own URL that helps you grow your custom email lists. Peptalkr hosts it for you—no technical setup required. Share it on social media, add it to your website, or include the link in your email signature.
⚠️ Important: Signup pages are ONLY for custom lists, not your automatic Patients list. Your Patients list syncs automatically with Cliniko—don't add people to it manually.

What you'll learn:
How to create your first signup page
How to make it look professional and on-brand
Where to find your page's link to share it
Step 1: Create your signup page
In the email manager, go to Lists & Subscribers
Click the name of the custom list (e.g. a list for your Newsletter or Google Ads) you want people to sign up for
In the left menu, click Signup form builder
Choose Create a signup page
Add your fields and Click Save when you're done
That's it! Your basic page is now live.
To get the link to share it: Click the Share button at the top to copy your page's URL.
Adding fields to your signup form
By default, your page asks for Name and Email. Here's how to add more fields or change the order:
To add a new field:
Click the Form tab
Click Add new field
Choose your field type (text, dropdown, checkbox, etc.)
Give it a name
Tick Required if people must fill it out
To rearrange fields: Just drag and drop them in the order you want.
To edit existing fields: Click on any field to edit its name or make it required/optional.
Step 2: Tailor the design of your signup page
Peptalkr’s signup page builder lets you tailor the look and feel of your form to suit your brand.
Before you start styling, ensure you've added all the important content people will see:
👉🏻 Add your headline This is the first thing people see. Make it clear what they're signing up for. Example: "Join our newsletter for health tips and special offers"
👉🏻 Add a description (optional) Add extra details if needed—but keep it short. Example: "Get monthly wellness tips and be the first to know about our promotions."
👉🏻 Customize the button text The default is "Subscribe"—but you can change it to something like "Count me in!" or "Sign me up"
👉🏻 Write a success message This appears after someone signs up. Keep it friendly! Example: "Thanks for signing up! Check your inbox for a welcome email."
There are plenty of options to customise the colours, images, text and more! You can preview changes as you go (note: previewing your form and submitting data won’t actually add to your custom list - it's just a test).
Layout and design options
What you want to customise | Where to find it | What it does |
Form layout | Form tab > Page | Choose between simple (single) or side-by-side (split) layout |
Background colour or image | Form tab > Background | Add your brand colors or a background photo |
Logo | Form tab > Header image | Add your clinic logo at the top |
Headline text | Form tab > Heading | Change the main text people see first |
Description text | Form tab > Description | Add extra details under your headline |
Submit button | Form tab > Button | Change button text, color, and style |
Form fields | Form tab > Fields | Change field colors and appearance |
Success message | Success Page tab | What people see after they sign up |
Success page settings
Under the Success Page tab, customise the confirmation message that appears once someone submits your form. You can edit the heading, message body, and all styling.
Please note that custom success pages are not compatible with signup page. You must use the embedded form method in that case.
Step 3: Share your signup page
To share your page, click Share to copy the public URL. Any submissions via this page will be added directly to your chosen list. Don’t forget—your changes won’t be reflected on the live version until you hit Save.
Advanced options
Let people join multiple lists at once
Want one signup page to add people to multiple lists? You can do that.
Under the Form tab, look for Opting into multiple lists
Select the additional lists you want
Click Save
⚠️ Important: All selected lists must use the same opt-in setting (either all confirmed opt-in or all single opt-in). If you use confirmed opt-in, subscribers will get one combined confirmation email for all lists.
Add permission checkboxes
You can add checkboxes for email and tracking permissions. This helps with compliance and gives people control.
Under the Form tab, go to Options
Toggle on the permissions you want to include
Add links to your Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy if you have them
Choose the language
You can change the form's language, which updates default labels like "Name" and "Email" plus error messages.
To update the rest:
Custom field labels: Edit these via the list’s Custom Fields section.
Editable form text: Update headings, descriptions, and checkbox labels manually.
Verification emails: For confirmed opt-in lists, update the verification message via List Settings > Subscribe Options > Edit Confirmed Opt-in Email.
