    Or,

    When adding the new integration to the existing widget, go to Widgets, select the widget, choose Integrations, and click + Add integration.

To send the consent data to Dotdigital:

  • Enable the Save consent data slide button.

The consent data from the widget are sent to your Dotdigital account. To learn how to view the consent data, read View a contact's insight data.

To send collected emails to Dotdigital:

  • Expand the Address book dropdown list and select the Dotdigital address book.

These are the address books that you created in your Dotdigital account, in Audience โ†’ Lists.
