conditional submit button for newsletter in footer

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Goal: Route newsletter footer sign‑ups to different ActiveCampaign contact lists based on storefront language (e.g., example.com/de → German list).

Recent updates: A helper asked for the store URL; the requester provided a preview URL and specific ActiveCampaign list links for German (listid=15), English (listid=21), and French (listid=22).

Current implementation: Shared Liquid/HTML shows two form paths—Shopify contact form (contact[email] with hidden tags) and a Mailchimp fallback (EMAIL with block.settings.form_action). No ActiveCampaign integration or language-based conditional routing is present.

Technical context: ActiveCampaign “lists” are separate subscriber groups; Shopify Liquid can detect locale and render conditional markup; differing input names/actions mean the current setup targets Shopify/Mailchimp, not ActiveCampaign.

Open questions: How to detect the current language and switch form action or API endpoint to the corresponding ActiveCampaign list. Whether to use Liquid conditions per locale (de/en/fr) or JavaScript to modify the form action dynamically.

Status: No resolution yet. Next steps likely involve implementing language-based conditionals and integrating directly with ActiveCampaign (form action or API) for each list.
