Growing your email list starts with giving shoppers a reason to subscribe. Maybe it's 10% off their first order, early access to a product launch, or an invitation to join your VIP list. The idea is simple. Turning it into a sign-up form that looks right, says the right thing, and is ready for customers takes more work.

With Composer, Klaviyo's AI marketing agent, you can create and edit web sign-up forms by describing what you want in plain language. Ask Composer to build a popup for new subscribers, update the offer on an existing form, or rewrite the copy to better reflect your brand.

Instead of starting from scratch in a form editor, you can go from an idea to a draft form in one conversation, then review and publish it in Klaviyo.

Why use Composer to create sign-up forms?

List growth is fundamental to email marketing. More subscribers means more opportunities to build relationships, introduce products, and turn first-time visitors into customers.

But creating a sign-up form traditionally involves several steps: choosing a form type, writing the headline and offer, configuring fields, and adjusting the design. Even a small change to an existing form can mean navigating back into the editor.

Composer makes that process more conversational.

You can describe what you're trying to accomplish, let Composer handle the initial creation, and then ask for changes without starting over.

That means less time spent on repetitive setup and more time experimenting with the messages and offers that encourage shoppers to subscribe.

Create a sign-up form from a single prompt

You don't need to start with a blank form or figure out every detail before you begin.

Tell Composer what you want to create and why. Include the offer, the audience you're trying to reach, and the tone you'd like to use.

Create a popup sign-up formCreate a popup sign-up form offering 10% off a first purchase for new email subscribers. Keep the messaging friendly and focused on the offer.

Composer uses your request to create a draft Klaviyo web sign-up form, giving you a starting point you can review and refine before publishing.

You can also start with a broader goal.

Create an early access sign-up formCreate a sign-up form encouraging shoppers to join our email list for early access to new product launches.

The more context you provide about your goal, the more clearly you can communicate what you want Composer to build.

And because you're working in a conversation, you can keep refining your request rather than starting from scratch every time an idea changes.

Edit an existing form without starting over

Creating a form is only part of growing your list. You also need to keep your messaging fresh as your promotions, products, and priorities change.

Maybe your welcome discount has changed. Maybe your current headline doesn't communicate enough value. Or perhaps you want to reposition your newsletter as a VIP experience.

Composer can now help edit existing Klaviyo web sign-up forms, too.

Update my footer sign-up formUpdate my footer sign-up form headline to say "Join the VIP list" and make the supporting copy feel more exclusive.
Update my sign-up form offerUpdate the offer on my existing sign-up form from 15% off to 10% off and adjust the copy to match.

Instead of rebuilding the form, you can describe the change you want and have Composer help make it.

This makes it easier to keep sign-up forms aligned with your current marketing strategy, whether you're refreshing an evergreen offer or updating messaging for a new promotion.

Experiment with different offers and messaging

The first version of a sign-up form doesn't have to be the last.

A discount might appeal to first-time shoppers, while early product access or exclusive updates might resonate more with loyal customers.

Composer makes it easier to explore different messaging approaches, so you can spend less time rewriting copy and more time thinking about what motivates your audience.

Rewrite my sign-up form headlineRewrite my sign-up form headline to focus on getting early access to new arrivals instead of a discount.
Edit the copy on my sign-up formMake the copy on my existing sign-up form shorter, more direct, and focused on why someone should subscribe.

You can use these changes as the starting point for experiments in Klaviyo, comparing how different messages and offers influence sign-up performance.

The goal isn't just to create forms faster. It's to make improving them a more natural part of your marketing workflow.

Review and publish when you're ready

Composer helps you build and edit sign-up forms, but you stay in control of what goes live.

When Composer creates a form, it saves it as a draft. You can review the form in Klaviyo's form editor, make any final adjustments, and publish it when you're ready.

Nothing is automatically published by Composer.

Before publishing, check a few important details:

  • Check the offer: Confirm that discounts, promotional details, and eligibility conditions are accurate.
  • Review the copy: Make sure the headline and supporting messaging sound like your brand.
  • Verify the form settings: Check the relevant audience, display behaviour, and subscription or consent settings.
  • Review the experience: Make sure the form gives shoppers a clear reason to subscribe and sets the right expectations.

Composer handles the initial work so you can focus on the customer experience and decide when it's ready to launch.

How to get started with sign-up forms in Composer

  1. Describe your goal. Open Composer and explain the web sign-up form you want to create or the existing form you'd like to update.
  2. Include the details. Share your offer, intended audience, and preferred messaging.
  3. Review the draft. Check the generated or updated form to make sure it reflects your request.
  4. Refine the messaging. Ask Composer to adjust the copy, change the offer, or make the tone more consistent with your brand.
