- Click the Manage Audience drop-down and choose Signup forms.
- Select Form builder.
- Click the Forms and response emails drop-down menu and choose Confirmation thank you page.

Test
Your beacon should now be working. To test, fill in the Mailchimp form and follow the steps until you reach the confirmation page. View the source code for the image beacon and confirm it has the form field variables (first name, last name and email address.
