Add an editable newsletter/sponsor opt-in checkbox to the registration form
- What you want the feature to do: Give organizers the ability to add a custom, optional checkbox to the event registration/sign-up form.
- Editable Text: The organizer must be able to edit the exact language of the prompt (e.g., "Yes, sign me up for the event mailing list" or "I agree to receive updates from the website sponsoring this event").
- Reporting: Add a dedicated column to the attendee export report that clearly shows whether each registrant checked the box (Yes/No) so organizers can easily filter and segment their marketing lists.
- Why it would help your event experience: Currently, without a distinct, editable opt-in checkbox, it is difficult to legally separate people who just want their event tickets from people who explicitly want to join our main newsletter or sponsor's mailing list. Having this as a clear toggle on the form—and tracked neatly in a report column—ensures data compliance and saves me from having to guess or manually survey attendees later.
- How other organizers could benefit too: Virtually every event organizer and event sponsor relies on summits to grow their email lists. Providing an editable opt-in checkbox keeps events compliant with global privacy laws (like GDPR and CAN-SPAM) while giving sponsors and hosts a transparent, measurable way to track lead generation directly from their registration reports.
- side note it would good practice to include a note stating we are sharing their email information with the speakers as well.

Thanks for suggesting this. We’ve shipped it now. Organizers can add a custom marketing opt-in checkbox to registration forms and see Yes/No values in attendee exports. You can read more here: https://heysummit.userjot.com/updates/p/custom-registration-…
