Create a Login / Sign-up Page

On Springly, you can allow people to create an account. This is useful if you want to build a member portal, or let them access their receipts and invoices from their account.

This article covers:

• Where to configure your login/sign-up page
• Account creation options
• Information to collect at sign-up
• How to customize your login page

Where to configure your login/sign-up page

Manage this page by going to Website > Settings and Theme, then clicking the "Sign-up Page & Profile" button at the bottom of the page.

Account creation options

You can set a rule for account creation. To do so:

• Click the "Sign-up Page & Profile" button;
• Under the "Sign-up Form" section, you'll have 3 options to choose from.

No

On the login page, people will not be able to create an account. The button will not be available.

However, people can still sign up through forms that are "open to everyone" by filling in the sign-up fields or clicking the "Continue without an account" button.

If the form is a Membership Campaign or Donation Campaign, an account is automatically created in your database after sign-up.

Yes, with open sign-up

End-users will be free to create an account using the "Create an account" button.

No approval process will apply, so anyone who creates an account is added directly to your contact database.

Make sure to configure the unique identifier correctly to avoid duplicates. This article explains how it works.

This option is selected by default when your website is active.

Yes, with approval-required sign-up

People who want to create an account won't have immediate access to it or to any private content on your site. You'll need to approve each sign-up first.

Pending sign-up requests will appear under Community > Contacts. From there, you can approve, decline/archive, or contact each person.

This option is handy when you're actively recruiting volunteers and want to meet people before granting them account access.

Information to collect at sign-up / account creation

If you allow people to create an account — whether approval is required or not — you can collect information about them during sign-up.

All fields configured under Community > Settings are available as options. You can choose to:

• not request them;
• make them optional;
• make them required.

Once you've made your selections, don't forget to save them by clicking the "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

For more details, this article provides a thorough explanation of the available information fields.

The person simply fills in their information and clicks the "Create my account" button to create the account or submit it for approval.

How to customize your login page

You can customize the design and background of your login/sign-up page.

To do so, follow the steps below:
