Integration with muse created forms and business catalyst mailing lists

I have just spent a long time on a chat session with support after spending most of a day trying to sort out how to have the people who fill in our contact us page to be automatically added to a mailing list to keep in contact with them, but it seems there isnt a strong link with muse to do this easily.
When you create a form in muse, it has an option to send the completed forms to a selected email adress. It would be great if you there was also an option to add that contact to a selected mailing list group already created in Business Catalys
I would have also like the full integration of form central to be inside muse with all its functions. So I could create gift voucher orders forms  and receive payments by paypal or other options.
It has been a frustrating day trying to figure it out as the forums didnt seem to help with the info i needed.
It seems to use Business Catalyst webforms requires html coding knowledge which I dont have. you can created a basic form in there easily, but if you want to make it two collumns wide or other changes, it is very difficult to use with coding
A decent wysiwig editor in Business Catalyst would be great
thanks for listening.
Overall I think Muse is excellent so I am surprised, this part of the software doesnt work as I expected.

  • Integrating leadpages with Business Catalyst Mailing lists

    I am having trouble with integrating my leadpages with my Business Catalyst account.
    Has anyone had this problem before? I have cleaned the code and ensured that it is supposed to link to the correct mailing list, however it won't pull together.

  • Form central + business catalyst + ecommerce issue.

    Hi all
    We have a few websites and have been using form cental to create contact us forms, gift voucher ordering, and event booking/payment through paypal for these sites.
    I thought that any results we got (ie names and email addresses) would be going directly into the business catalyst mailing lists so that when we send out a newsletter, those new enquiries and customers get it.
    But Ive now realised there is no link between the too (frustrating)
    So Im now wondering why i even need to be paying for form central.
    Can I do all of that in business catalyst?
    Also I tried to find out how to upgrade my BC to include ecommerce (since Im assuming I cant may gift voucher order forms and link to paypal with BC webmarketing plan)
    I eventually found you have to go to BC: Site settings >Site management> and then there is supposed to be an option that says upgrade... but the only option it has is 'delete'!
    Getting a bit frustrated, so Im hoping someone can give me a hand on this one. :-)
    Brian

    Hi Brian,
    That is a different Adobe product for global use, and as you noted does not tie into Business Catalyst.
    If you have Business Catalyast you do not need to be paying for Form Central, there is no where in the documentation that it states you need to use it. If you found somewhere that said you did, please let the BC support team know so they can update that information.
    Upgrade should appear in the top left, if not and/or If you been using Muse:
    http://www.lawryk.com/my-adobe-blog/video-tutorial-upgrading-your-muse-hostin-with-busines s-catalyst
    You will need to build web forms and mailing lists to have those work with BC and you will need to set up products, catalogs and use the payment from in BC for eCommerce.

  • Remove "My Adobe Partner and Business Catalyst" from Campaign email footer

  • Create and send EDM using Adobe MUSE and Business Catalyst.

    There is just one thing missing in my armour as a graphic designer – creating and sending EDMs.
    Given the success of creating websites using Adobe Muse, an EDM functionality would be a fantastic addition to MUSE and Business Catalyst (BC). Imagine this:
    1. I open Adobe Muse.
    2. I select "New EDM"  (instead of "New Site").
    3. I design and build my EDM to spec.
    4. I test my EDM using 'Preview' or a single send to myself.
    5. I publish my EDM to Business Catalyst.
    6. In BC, I review my EDM and add 'FROM NAME', 'FROM EMAIL ADDRESS' and 'SUBJECT'.
    7. I import my database.
    8. I hit SEND!
    After my EDM has gone out, I can review a report in BC - just like any report for a website.
    As a designer that does not know code but can build a website using MUSE - creating an EDM is the one thing I can't personally offer. Using a digital supplier can be expensive and website like Mail Chimp aren't professional enough.
    To the Adobe Muse team, please – for the love of humanity – consider this as viable addition to MUSE. You will save a lot of heart ache and win a lot of hearts.
    Thanks,
    Phil

    Done!

  • Adding a search bar when using Muse and Business Catalyst

    Hello and greetings,
    I am creating a site with Adobe muse and Business Catalyst integration for blogs and ecommerce.  I know you can add a search bar using this tutorial from Muse Themes. However, will it search everything created between both Muse and Business Catalyst, or will it only search for Muse created content if inserted in Muse?
    Does anyone know?

    Hello,
    When you create a search option in a Business Catalyst site, it searches everyting in the site, all th contents of the site that is. So, whatever the content of the site is, it will be indexed for searching purposes, provided you used the BC search bar.
    Cheers

  • I cannot create a new business catalyst site with Dreamweaver CC 2014. The error message states that Dreamweaver cannot connect with server, try again later. How can I fix this problem?

    I cannot create a new Business Catalyst site with Dreamweaver CC 2014 (Mac). The error message states that Dreamweaver cannot connect with server, try again later. In addition, I am also unable to load remotely a previously created Business Catalyst site as it says there is something wrong with my username or password. However when I put my password in and press test connection, it says it has connected successfully. What is going wrong and how can I fix this problem?
    Thanks

    Hi Ozy08,
    Can you try the solutions mentioned in Re: Can't Login to Business Catalyst within Dreamweaver CS6?
    If you still have problems, and you have a purchased version of DW CC, send me your Adobe ID, location, and contact details over a private message. Click my picture and use the message option.

  • Muse-built site on business catalyst isn't loading on all browsers and devices

    My muse-built site on business catalyst isn't loading on all browsers and devices e.g. the full-screen video widget doesn't load or play, the scrolling doesn't work. Any advice? The site is gulch.businesscatalyst.com

    Once you add the domain to Business Catalyst and finish all the DNS delegation steps listed in the article for launching a site on BC, your old site will no longer load and users will go to the new BC site.  Your old hosting then could be discontinued with whichever vender you used. Be aware that DNS can sometimes take 24 hours to fully propogate so you should wait to make sure that things are all loading properly.  -j

  • Mixing  ordinary html and business catalyst

    Hello,
    I am trying to come up with a decent workflow for my designers , who can draw up a page in photoshop or indesign, bring it in DreamWeaver,
    then when it is final ,I want the page to sit with other web apps in businesscatalyst like email marketting.
    Is this a standard practise?
    I am having some issue, which may be because one of the designers was using Muse.
    However I want to know if we can add a brand new page in dream wever and let it it seamless with rest of business catalyst generated sit.
    Can any one give me an answer from first hand experience with DreamWeaver and Business Catalyst? Thanks for your time.
    Cheers
    Pronob

    I figured this : we need to first  create a site through the business catalyst site  option in dream weaver.
    Once it is done we can import other sites into the same site, by first creating a local copy of the site to be imported and then specifying the same business catalyst site that we created already as the remote server.
    After that we can selectively upload individual files /pages from the importing site[local copy].

  • Looking into starting a business using creative cloud and business catalyst

    Hi,
    I am just looking for a bit of clarification on a few things. I am looking at using Creative cloud and Business Catalyst for a new business.
    Firstly, if I have both a Mac and a PC, will one creative cloud subscription allow me to install on both?
    Secondly, with Business Catalyst if I am wanting to make more than 5 websites, do I have to use the partner plan? or is this just if I want to make comission? Basically can I pay individually for subscriptions to more than 5 sites on behalf of customers without paying the initial partner fee while I am starting up? Obviously long term the partner option makes sense but short term for start up it would be useful to just sell the adobe subscriptions without earning comission. Hope this makes sense?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Adam

    Hi Adam,
    I'm very happy to hear that you want to start a business using BC and Creative Cloud - this is one of the goals of our integration.
    To you first question, yes, you can install Creative Cloud on both your machines.
    To your second question - you don't need to be a paid partner while you're starting up. You can remain a free partner, and just buy supplemental websites from the Partner portal. You're right, you won't get the comission, but it's a pretty good deal anyway.
    If you're starting up, I also strongly recomment the BCGurus "Zero to BC Hero" training program - not only they explain you the BC product, but they also include a lot of great business insights on running a web agency
    Sincerely,
    Alexandru

  • Problem with merging changes made in Business Catalyst

    I put some text frames in my Muse project and now my client try to make some changes in text using Business Catalyst but we have big problem because it is impossible to merge changes back to the Muse project. The site is in Polish language but I also tried to do it with English. The result is different but also wrong.
    As you can see bellow (screen1)I tried to change words "Adobe Muse" to "adobe muse" and "apps" to "application". Look at Preview on Page result. The newe phrase "adobe muse" is inside the word "videos" instead of following it. So we have: " ....and videoadobe museuse is....". But fortunatelly after clicking "Merge into Muse" everything is OK (screen2).
    But when I use Polish language both results are wrong: Preview on Page and the result after merging (see screen 3 and 4)
    So I can't work together with my client and it's a big problem because I choose Muse and Business Catalyst for this project just to have this possibility.
    Some ides about reasons? I hope these problems are easily solvable.

    Hi TheArtDictator,
    The issue you're running into is similar to http://forums.adobe.com/message/6012076#6012076.
    There isn't a fix yet. What we know is that HTML character entities (like &reg; or &ndash;) can somehow appear in content edited using In-Browser Editing. The Muse sync process doesn't expect/handle them correctly. What we don't know is what causes these entities to be inserted. To help us figure that out, could you find out:
    - Which OS and browser (including versions) were used by the client?
    - Did the client copy/paste content from external sources?
    Thanks,
    Abhishek

    while waiting for the DBA to grant privs on DBMS_LOB, changing the dbms_lob.getlength call to length() fixes the IR.
    however, i am not getting the download link on the associated form page... changed templates, that's not the issue -- we'll see if that's a dbms_lob issue as well
