Soft Gating
Create a soft gate using optional forms to engage your readers, providing them with a sneak peek of your content. This will balance between accessing content and data capture, allowing your readers to experience your work while still giving you valuable insights

Frequently Asked Questions
What is content gating in a digital publication?
Content gating means placing a data capture form between the reader and some or all of your publication, so access and audience data are exchanged for each other. It is how publishers turn an anonymous readership into known contacts: instead of tracking traffic you cannot identify, you collect the reader details you need for lead generation, subscriptions, and audience segmentation at the moment someone is engaged enough to hand them over.
What is the difference between hard, soft, and metered gating?
Hard gating requires readers to submit their information before they can access the content at all, which maximizes data capture and suits premium resources and lead generation. Soft gating asks with an optional form while still letting readers preview the content, trading some capture rate for a friendlier experience. Metered gating places forms at key points throughout the publication so invested readers volunteer their details as they go. You can pick a different approach for each publication.
Can you connect publication forms to your CRM?
Yes. Reader data captured by a form syncs automatically with your existing tech stack, including CRM and Subscription Management Systems, so submissions feed straight into the workflows and campaigns you already run rather than sitting in a separate export.
Do you need code to build a data capture form?
No. Forms are assembled in a drag-and-drop builder — add, reorder, and configure fields such as email, name, job title, or occupation without touching code. Custom CSS is available when you want the form to match your publication branding exactly, but it is optional rather than a prerequisite.
Are the data capture forms GDPR compliant?
Forms include a notice-and-consent option so you can ask readers to agree to how their data will be used at the point of collection, which is the consent step GDPR expects. As always, compliance also depends on what you collect, why, and how you store and process it afterwards.
