Essential to notice:
The aforementioned kind will work just for these recipients whose e mail purchasers already help AMP — Gmail and Mail.ru, each desktop and cellular screens. Different customers will see the fallback that we are going to construct collectively later.
Presently, there are 3 ways of constructing AMP kinds in Stripo:
Method 1. Constructing AMP Varieties by utilizing drag-n-drop blocks
That is in all probability the best approach.
Method 2. Embedding amp-components from Google AMP dev
Google offers us all with embed AMP elements. You comply with the directions on the respective web page and embed your kind into our template.
But it surely’s a bit sophisticated for me, so I desire not utilizing this fashion.
Method 3. Utilizing Stripo modules
Effectively, now that is a lot simpler.
As soon as your template is completed, you need to:
-
go to the Modules part;
-
enter “Kind” within the search console;

redesign it when you like;
Warning: don’t make any modifications to the ⚡HTML a part of this module as it might have an effect on the efficiency of your AMP kind.
<enter sort="hidden" identify="e mail" hidden worth="%EMAIL|%">
It goes after </label>.
This discipline is hidden and is stuffed in robotically. Customers don’t have to enter their e mail addresses manually.

Contact your ESP for the merge tag that’s meant for displaying e mail addresses. We use eSputnik, so in our case, this tag is %EMAIL|%. Please don’t make any modifications to the remainder of this embed code.

It exhibits the merge tag since we examined e mail within the preview mode.
Once we gather actual suggestions from actual customers (colleagues when you like to check this kind as soon as once more) will present actual addresses.

So, to make use of our templates, you want to:
Essential to notice:
Beforehand we mentioned you would wish to construct a fallback/HTML model of this survey. Effectively, you don’t want it for this template because it already incorporates the HTML survey invitation.
-
within the template, click on on the ⚡HTML kind;
-
open code editor;
-
change the prevailing URL with the URL tackle that you just copied in Knowledge Service.
-
if you wish to gather e mail addresses as properly, please paste the embed code as proven within the “Method 2” part. However on this case, it is going to go after the and earlier than the
Step 3. Constructing a Fallback
We revealed a long-read the place we confirmed 10 finest survey invitation emails and confirmed learn how to construct them with Stripo.
Right here we’ll present three finest, in my view, fallbacks. All of them are completely websafe:
Fallback 1: Gathering charges
As we mentioned, customers can price our service straight in emails:

Your ESP will offer you the overall variety of clicks on every “price”.
Fallback 2. Ranking service
You possibly can simply ask customers if they’re happy together with your merchandise by selecting from “Dangerous”, “Okay”, and “Nice” choices.
You do it the way in which described within the Fallback 1 possibility with only one distinction — you insert a 3-container construction. That’s it.
Fallback 3. Offering a hyperlink to an exterior supply
If you’ll ask customers just a few questions, as a fallback you may wish to ask them to take a multi-question survey.
You construct a kind both in your web site, or by utilizing Google Varieties.
After getting achieved it and you’ve got a hyperlink to this survey, you:
-
add a 1-container construction into your template;
-
drop a “Button” primary block in it;
-
design your button;
-
add your URL to this button;
