How-to: Customize Your YouLi Registration Form

YouLi's default registration form is VERY simple - to reduce friction and gather emails quickly. But you can also add more fields to customize the Registration Form, as needed.

This feature was released to all premium users on July 13th!📆

What is this feature? 

See it in action!

First, look at this sample Custom Registration Form. Notice some new fields added to it?

Then, be sure to watch this 14-min introduction on what it can do & how to set it up

A short history on YouLi Registration Forms - what they were & what they've become

What the standard Registration Form includes

• At YouLi, we have always believed registration forms should be SHORT. This is because we believe you should capture minimal contact information before you lose them to the distractions of the internet.
• That's why our registration forms (by default) only include:
  • first name
  • last name
  • email
  • phone number (optional)
  • an optional message.
• However, we realize there are reasonable cases when a registration form should contain MORE than just those basic system fields.
• In the past, we have told you to make a TASK and the Traveler can complete that after registration. 
• Now, we are allowing you to create a special task of type "PROFILE & REGISTRATION FORM...."
  
  

And now, here are the possibilities with the new Custom Registration Form!

• By creating a TASK with the REQUIRED RESPONSE TYPE "PROFILE & REGISTRATION FORM," you can configure:

1. What information is collected on registration - supports both BOOKING STYLE methods
   1. Checkout Flow 
   2. Register to Pay
2. What information makes up the Traveler "Profile"
3. Choose which Profile fields are:
   1. required on the REGISTRATION FORM
   2. shown on the REGISTRATION FORM
      1. Check the "Collect on Registration (before payment)" box
      2. They can also change this from the task after registration (unless you disable that feature)
         
         
         
         
4. Decide what Profile information is shown to other Travelers to enable more networking. Learn more

Troubleshooting

Do I need to add in Terms & Conditions as a field?

No, you do not need to add a field for Terms & Conditions, you should use these instructions to add, update, or remove Terms & Conditions from your Registration Form, whether you are using the standard Registration Form or the Profile & Registration Task. 

If I want my Travelers to fill out more information on their Profile after they have booked, how should I set up the Custom Registration Form?

How do I ensure my Traveler completes their Profile?

If you want them to complete their PROFILE, make sure you have REQUIRED items added (all others will default to OPTIONAL).

Once I set up my Custom Registration Form, will it show on all of my Trip Pages?

• Yes, once you set up a CUSTOM REGISTRATION FORM on your account it is on by default for all new TRIPS (unless you make a Trip from a TEMPLATE that doesn’t have a Custom Registration Form).
• However, you'll need to open up the PROFILE & REGISTRATION FORM (TASK) to edit it to your liking (so it will not look the same, until you modify it to show as you want it to). 

Can I convert a Custom Form to a Profile & Registration?

• While these are both TASK TYPES, you cannot convert a CUSTOM FORM (where you might already be collecting the information you want collected on your PROFILE & REGISTRATION.
• So keep this in mind and if you already have a TRIP that has a CUSTOM FORM, we recommend not adding a PROFILE & REGISTRATION because you will need to migrate all of that information. 

What about other existing Tasks? Can I convert them to a Profile & Registration (Task Type)?
