A newsletter widget is a subscribe form you style in Orgo and embed on your own website. Someone who fills it in confirms by email and becomes a subscribed contact, ready for the next campaign. Built for organizations whose public website lives outside Orgo but whose mailing list should not. Replaces a third-party signup form plus the CSV export that follows it.

​
Creating a widget

Administration → COMMUNICATION → Newsletter subscription. Requires COMMUNICATION_TENANT or EVENT_TENANT. Press Create Widget, give it a name, and save. Styling options appear once the widget exists. Each card in the list shows the widget’s public URL, a Subscribers button with the count, and Edit. One widget is always the Default, marked with a star. It is the one served when a page asks for your organization’s widget without naming one, including the subscribe box under a published campaign’s public page. Use Make default to move the star. You cannot delete the last remaining widget, and deleting the default promotes another one automatically.

​
What you can configure

The editor is split into settings on the left and a live preview plus the embed code on the right. Only the email field is mandatory. Name fields appear only if you turn them on, and then they are required in the form. Widget editor with content and styling settings on the left and the live preview with embed code on the right

​
Putting it on your site

The Integration panel offers two snippets plus a plain link.
A fixed-height iframe. Use it when the page cannot run third-party JavaScript, or when you want full isolation from your site’s CSS.
Every widget also has a hosted page you can simply link to, for example from social media or a printed QR code. The organization’s default widget is served at /newsletter on your Orgo host.
Both snippets carry the widget’s own identifier, so subscriptions are attributed to the right widget and the right tag. Copy the code again after changing the widget only if you switched widgets; styling changes apply to the live form without re-pasting.

​
What happens when someone subscribes

1

They submit the form

The address is validated. Submitting the same address twice within 5 minutes is refused so a double click does not send two emails.
2

Orgo emails a confirmation link

The form then shows “Please check your email for a confirmation message”. Nobody is subscribed at this point.
3

They click the link

If the address already belongs to a member or a contact, that record is switched to newsletter subscribed. Otherwise a new contact is created with its source recorded as the newsletter. The widget’s tag is applied, and the subscription is recorded against the widget for the subscriber count.
This is a confirmed opt-in: an address that never clicks the link is never subscribed and never appears in the subscriber list. If people report signing up but not receiving campaigns, the confirmation email is the first thing to check.
Subscribers on a widget card lists who came in through it, newest first, with a link to each member or contact record.
