Opt-in Statement for your Integrate Form
With GDPR regulations, it is especially important to ensure that you have clear consent to contact the students you collect data from.
Luckily, it is quite straightforward to ensure you are meeting this requirement.
We recommend that you duplicate the Integrate templates in your dashboard, so this way, the ‘opt-in’ to communications statement will already be on your form. This means you will already be asking for contact permission and therefore will be meeting GDPR requirements.
However, we understand that some clients may want to create Integrate forms from scratch and therefore we have created this short guide to help with set up.
Getting started
When you are creating your Integrate form, all you have to do is add an ‘opt-in’ to the communications statement at the end.
If you are also an RMP Connect user, then you should ensure that this is correctly mapped in RMP Connect, to make sure the data syncs.
Add an ‘Opt-In’ to communications question to your Integrate form
To add an ‘opt-in’ to the communications question follow the below steps:
- Log into your Integrate dashboard and select ‘Events’ on the left menu.
- Click ‘Create Event’ on the left.
- Set up your event as you would normally (if you have any questions about this, please follow this link.
- Click ‘Continue’.
- Once you have added your questions, we need to add the 'opt in' option - this is shown as an additional question in your form builder...
- Under ‘Contact Fields’, select ‘Opt in’.
- You will then likely want to edit the opt-in statement.
- Under ‘The Question’ (right side of page), paste in your opt-in statement.
- There are two checkboxes under the question itself, these must be left unticked.
- The first checkbox ‘This question must be answered’ should be left unticked because it would force the student to opt-in whether they wanted to or not.
- The second checkbox ‘Start checked’ should be left unticked to be in line with GDPR guidelines.
- If you want to contact students via SMS, you should repeat this action and just edit the statement slightly for SMS.
- Click ‘Save & Finish’.
Ensure Opt-in question is mapped to RMP Connect
If you are also a user of RMP Connect, start by logging into the RMP Connect dashboard.
- Scroll to ‘Automated Import’ near the bottom, of the left menu.
- Events sync overnight from Integrate to RMP Connect, so you may need to refresh the list of events, to do this, click the green 'Refresh Events' button on the top of right of the screen.
- Locate the event you need to map.
- Click the ‘View’ symbol under ‘Settings’.
- Click the green ‘Edit Event’ button on the right of the screen.
- Your opt-in statement will probably be set to ‘Ignore’, click the drop-down menu beside it and set it to ‘Email Contact Permitted’.
- Scroll to the bottom and click the green ‘Save Settings’ button.
