I see that there’s a parameter for signing the user to a mailing list.

The form I’m creating is for something else (an info request form) using FreeForm, but would like to have a ‘sign up to our mailing list’ option on the form.  Is there a way to check the users selection of this field and only subscribe them if they select ‘yes’?

Also, and this is unlikely (or messy), but if the user is already registered and logged in, I’m pre-filling the contact form. But is there any way to have the form perform 2 actions on submit (submit the form and optionally register the user), so that I could have a field on the form like, “Register me to this site...”? 

Tx in advance!

I am afraid there is no automatic way to handle conditions like that. What I’d do is provide a separate (popup) link for both mailing list signups and/or new members. Or, you could have a checkbox “Subscribe to mailing list”, which would result in “yes” when checked, and do it (semi-)manually or on submit. Makes sense?

This is also exactly what I am trying to do.... i want to be able to run the user through some promotion, sign up for the newsletter and get registered.
