When collecting leads using the new email subscribe modules, are those entries stored? If so, where could I find them (and if only in the database, which table do I search?)
Thanks!
Hey Jason,
Great question! We’re actually not storing any data from the subscribe module on the server. Everything gets sent to the autoresponder service that you connect when setting up the module. For example, if you connect MailChimp with your API key and choose a list titled “My List”, all of the email data will be stored in your MailChimp account under My List. Let me know if you have any questions about that.

Any tips on measuring performance of these forms?
Sure thing. Since there really is only one type of form, as opposed to something like OptinMonster, your best bet is probably to A/B test different page layouts that include the form in some manner. Beaver Builder doesn’t include any A/B testing tools (although that would be cool) but you can use Google’s Experiments. It takes a little code in a child theme, but if you’re interested in that, I can whip up some snippets for you. Let me know.
Thanks,
Justin
Jason, I was wondering if you had some time to answer a couple of questions about one of your sites that you built using beaver builder.
@Justin, I literally just want to know how many entries a form made.
If that’s not possible, I’ll probably just use Gravity Forms in place of the native form (no hard feelings), but try to retain the style your forms come with in the templates (which are beautiful).
If you have any class name tips, please pass them on. Thanks!
@Shaun, please email me directly at jpelker @ g m a i l . c o m.
Thanks!
Hey Jason,
That’s not possible since it’s just sending the info to whatever service you are using. You could possibly setup a segment for each form depending on what the service you are using offers.
Justin
Segments are a great idea. Does Beaver Builder pass signup source info along to the email client? I’ve previewed all my segments in MailChimp, and I’m pretty sure nothing explicitly comes up for Beaver Builder:

Hey Jason,
No, we only pass along the name/email info, but adding support for segments is a great idea. I’ve made a note to look into that for the next plugin release. Stay tuned!
Justin
Hey Jason,
I looked into segments and it doesn’t look like we can pass along any special data since we’re not an official integration (we just show as API General). However, I did just add support for MailChimp groups. Now when you choose a list, if you have any groups setup, you can choose one or more groups that the contact should be added to. Theoretically you can use this to create a group for each of your forms to see which one is attracting more subscribers.
Let me know if you have any questions about that.
