How to Add an Email Marketing Consent Checkbox to Ninja Forms

We’ve touched on this briefly, but now we will get into the details of adding a SiteGround Email Marketing checkbox to your Ninja Forms.
This box makes visitors aware that they will sign up for your newsletter when they submit the contact form. It will prevent unwanted sign-ups and unaware subscribers who can react negatively to your marketing emails and report you as spam.

You can add a checkbox in the form editor while creating a new form or editing an existing one.

Inside the form editor, open the Form Fields section, and select Add New Field.

A menu with available fields will expand on the right. Scroll down to the Miscellaneous Fields, drag the SG Email Marketing Checkbox field, and drop it to your contact form on the left.

Hover over the newly created field, and select Edit.

You can now change the checkbox text under the Label field.
Optionally, you can include additional information about the purpose of the checkbox. You can do that by expanding the Display menu and writing the text in the Help Text box.

To confirm the change, press the Done button.
