# How to Add a Newsletter in WordPress?

## Key Takeaways

- Nexter Blocks Form block adds a newsletter form to a WordPress website, and the post says Nexter Blocks must be installed and activated first.
- Newsletter form setup starts by adding the Form block, clicking Design from Scratch, and selecting the Newsletter form type from the editor.
- Action After Submit connects the form to ActiveCampaign, Brevo, ConvertKit, GetResponse, Mailchimp, MailerLite, or Drip, and the post says a minimalistic signup form improves the subscription rate.

A short email sign-up form is one of the easiest ways to grow a mailing list from your website.

The Form block in Nexter Blocks has a ready-made Newsletter Form with just an email field and a button.

*For every Form setting in one place, see the [Form block guide](https://nexterwp.com/docs/add-a-form-in-wordpress/).*

## How It Behaves

- Visitors type their email and click the button. The address goes to every action you selected.- You can add a Name Field if your service should receive names too.

## Limitations

- In the free plugin, Action After Submit offers only Email and Redirect, so subscribers are emailed to you rather than added to a list.- Double opt-in depends on the service. Mailchimp contacts are added as subscribed straight away.

## Troubleshooting

### I only see Email and Redirect in Options

Email marketing services need Nexter Blocks Pro to be active.
