Email Capture

Turn every link into a lead magnet

Collect verified email addresses from people who click your links, before they reach the destination. Built-in double opt-in keeps your list clean and compliant.

Confirm your email to continue

Enter your email and confirm it to open this link.

I agree to receive emails from the owner of this link. I'll get a confirmation email and must confirm before continuing.

The owner of this link is responsible for the emails you receive. Nothing is stored until you confirm.

This is the real screen a visitor sees, in place of the destination URL. Only the headline, description, and button text are editable from the link's settings; the fields, the checkbox, and the transparency note underneath stay fixed.

How it works

01

Visitor clicks your link

Instead of going straight to the destination, the visitor sees a short consent form with your contact address.

02

They enter their email

The form shows what they are signing up for. Submitting sends a confirmation email immediately.

03

Double opt-in confirmation

The address is only saved after the visitor clicks the confirmation link. Unconfirmed addresses are never stored.

04

They reach the destination

After confirming, the visitor is redirected to the original URL.

What actually happens to the data

Email Capture only controls this one confirmation step. Here is exactly what it does and does not do.

Nothing is stored before confirmation

Submitting the form only triggers a confirmation email. The address itself isn't written to your Captured Emails list until the visitor clicks the link inside it.

A 24-hour confirmation window

If the visitor never confirms, the link expires after 24 hours. Nothing gets saved, no follow-up email is sent, and they never reach your destination.

Unsubscribe removes it from UseClick, not everywhere

Every confirmation email includes an unsubscribe link. Clicking it deletes the address from UseClick's database. If you've already exported it into another tool, removing it there is on you.

Export whenever you need it

Confirmed addresses show up in a Captured Emails tab on the link's analytics page and export to CSV any time, no waiting on a report.

Where this fits

Turn it on for a single link, not your whole account. Every link it's off for keeps redirecting instantly, as usual.

Gate a content upgrade

Point a blog post's “download the checklist” short link through Email Capture so the PDF only unlocks after a confirmed email.

Qualify an affiliate offer

Put an affiliate link behind the form so you keep your own list of everyone who clicked through, not just the ones the merchant reports back.

Run a giveaway entry

Post the giveaway link in an Instagram bio or Story. Entrants confirm their email before landing on the entry page, so your list is clean from day one.

Why use Email Capture

Verified addresses only

Every address in your list is real and confirmed before it is saved.

GDPR-aligned consent capture

Every address is captured with an explicit, timestamped, double opt-in confirmation, the standard GDPR expects for the collection step. It doesn't cover whatever you send afterward with the exported list.

Export any time

Confirmed addresses land in a Captured Emails tab on the link's analytics page and export as a CSV whenever you need them.

Any link, any campaign

Turn it on for a single link, like a content upgrade or an affiliate offer, while every other link on your account keeps redirecting instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nothing is stored yet. Submitting the form only sends a confirmation email. UseClick.io saves the address in your Captured Emails list once the visitor clicks the confirmation link, not before.

The confirmation link expires after 24 hours. If it's never clicked, the address is never saved, the visitor never reaches your destination, and no further emails are sent.

You can edit the headline, description, and button text from the link's settings. The layout, the email field, and the consent checkbox wording are fixed so the flow stays consistent.

It handles the collection step: an explicit, timestamped, double opt-in confirmation, which is what GDPR expects when gathering an address. It has no visibility into whatever emails you send afterward from the exported list using your own tools, so compliance for those sends, including requirements like CAN-SPAM's sender identification and opt-out handling, is on you.

Confirmed addresses appear in a Captured Emails tab on the link's analytics page, exportable as a CSV at any time. The unsubscribe link in the confirmation email removes the address from UseClick.io's database only; if you've already copied it into another tool, removing it there is your responsibility.

Email Capture is a premium, per-link feature available on Starter and above, alongside campaigns, geo-targeting, and password protection.
