Adding the GDPR Communication Preferences Field to Forms
Once the add-on is activated, a new field type called GDPR Communication Prefenrences will appear under Profile Builder -> Form Fields select.
By adding it to your forms, users will be asked to give consent on the communication preferences (how they want to be contacted).
You can select any of the following options: Email, SMS, Phone, Post, as well as the order in which they appear on the front-end forms.
We also save the changes of the preferences by the user in the front-end with a timestamp in the database. We save them as a serialized array in the usermeta table with the name “gdpr_communication_preferences_history”
