Set Up a Program Registration Form

What a registration form does

Registration forms let potential collaborators sign up for your programs directly from your site. Instead of creating each one manually, visitors fill out a form, verify their email, and get added to whichever programs you’ve configured. This is how you run an open program without approving every applicant by hand.

Adding a form to your site

Create a new page (or edit an existing one) in the WordPress block editor. Click the inserter, search for “Siren,” and add the Siren Collaborator Registration block.

The block’s sidebar settings control what happens on submission. The collaborator status setting decides whether new signups land in Pending (held for your approval) or Active (creating engagements immediately). The “Approve existing collaborators” toggle controls cross-program signups: when checked, someone already in another program is added to this form’s programs automatically, and when unchecked you get an email asking you to review the request. Program selection picks which programs new signups enroll in, and you can select one or several.

You can also customize the confirmation message that appears after submission. Publish when you’re done.

What the collaborator sees

The form asks for a nickname, full name, and email. After they submit, Siren sends a confirmation email to verify the address is real. This prevents anyone from signing up with someone else’s email.

The email contains a link. Clicking it creates (or updates) the collaborator account and shows a simple confirmation page. If you set the status to Pending, they’ll sit in Siren until you activate them. If Active, they can start sharing referral links immediately.

Finding new registrations

New signups appear on the Siren > Collaborators screen alongside any you’ve created manually. If you’re using Pending, you’ll review registrations here and activate them individually or in bulk via the “Activate” action. Activation doesn’t send an automatic notification, so reach out separately if you have an onboarding flow.

Multiple forms for different programs

Each registration block is configured independently. If you have an affiliate program open to anyone and a separate blog content program for writers, create two pages with two different forms enrolling into each.

The “Approve existing collaborators” setting shines here. When someone already active in your affiliate program fills out the blog content form, Siren can add them to that second program automatically without a second approval round.
