FireDrum Email Marketing

Grow your email list directly from your WordPress site. The FireDrum Email Marketing plugin connects your website to your FireDrum account and makes it easy to create, customize, and display opt-in forms — no coding required.

Form Types

• Inline / Shortcode — embed a signup form anywhere on your site using a shortcode or widget
• Modal Popup — display a popup triggered immediately, after a delay, on exit intent, or after the visitor scrolls a set percentage of the page
• Sticky Bar — show a persistent top or bottom bar to capture signups without interrupting the browsing experience

Display & Targeting

• Show forms everywhere, on the front page, on specific pages, or on WooCommerce pages
• Cookie-based suppression — control how long before the form shows again after dismissal
• Trigger options: immediately, after a delay, on exit intent, or after scroll %

Form Builder

• Choose which standard fields to display: name, address, phone, birthday, anniversary, and more
• Include custom fields from your FireDrum account
• Assign forms to one or more contact lists
• Double opt-in support
• Anti-spam honeypot
• Signup notification emails

Styling

• Match Theme mode — forms automatically inherit your WordPress theme’s styles
• Custom mode — set button colors, text color, background color, border, font, and size
• Custom CSS with a form-specific class placeholder
• Inline or stacked layout mode
• Hide labels or use placeholder text instead

Live Preview

• Preview your form directly in the WordPress editor sidebar
• Mobile, Tablet, and Desktop preview sizes
• Modal forms preview as a true popup overlay

Integrations

• WooCommerce — display opt-in forms at checkout and send abandoned cart recovery emails
• Gravity Forms — sync form submissions to your FireDrum lists
• Divi / Bloom — connect Bloom opt-in forms to FireDrum
