# Collecting customer data
There are two ways to collect customer contact information in Quiz Kit quizzes:
* Use an **Email capture question** to collect email addresses, which are automatically added to your Customers list. You can also add additional **Phone**, **Name**, **Birthday** fields.
* Use a **Form field question** to collect multiple custom fields, which are contained in the quiz [Submission data](/analytics-and-optimization/using-submission-data.md). You can set up more broad information collection.
If your goal is to quickly set up a simple email collection popup, then you can start with the **Email signup offer template**, which comes preconfigured with an Email capture question.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip**
If you want to create a simple email signup popup, then start with the **Email signup offer template**. It’s a one-question quiz that already includes an Email capture question and is optimized for quick setup.
Learn more about the [Email signup offer](/building-a-quiz/collecting-customer-data/email-signup-offer-template.md) quiz template.

## Setting up your quiz to collect contact information
### Set up an Email capture question
The question type **Email capture** is intended to collect any of the following information that you want: the customer's email, name, phone, and date of birth.
**Steps:**
1. From the quiz builder, click **+ Add page**.
2. Click **Email capture**.
3. Under **Content**, customize the **Heading** text to describe the information that you're asking for.
4. Under **Fields**, the **Email** field is there by default. You can also click **+ Add field** and add any of the following: **Phone**, **Name**, **Birthday**.
5. Optional: Customize the settings under any fields that you added, such as placeholder text and if the field is required or not.
6. Click **Save**.
Customer email addresses that are input here are automatically added to your Shopify Customers list and marked as subcribed.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Hint:**
**Enable fake emails validation** from the email field settings if you want customers to submit only real email addresses. You can also **Add a GDPR checkbox** from the question level settings.
{% endhint %}
### Set up a Form field question
You can collect the same customer contact information with the Form field question type.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip:**
Use the **Marketing property name (optional)** field to pass data to your third-party app of choice.
{% endhint %}
**Steps:**
1. From the quiz builder, click **+ Add page**.
2. Click **Form field**.
3. Under **Content**, customize the **Heading** text to describe the information that you're asking for.
4. Under **Fields**, click **Field 1**.
5. Under **Content**, leave the **Type** of field as **Text** to collect customer emails in this field. Switch it to **Date** to collect a birthday, or **Number** to collect a phone number in this field.
6. Add more fields to collect more information by clicking **+ Add field** and choosing the appropriate **Type**.
7. Optional: Customize the settings under any fields that you added, such as placeholder text and if the field is required or not.
8. Click **Save**.
If you collect email addresses with this method, then customer emails are saved in the [Submission](/analytics-and-optimization/using-submission-data.md) data, not added to the Shopify Customers list.

## Attaching customer answers to their profile
You can have customer data collected be sent to their customer profile so that you can use it for marketing and customer relationship management (CRM).
**Steps:**
1. From the quiz builder menu, click **Settings**.
2. Check **Attach answer names to subscribed customers as tags.**
3. Click **Save**.
***
## Using collected customer data
Email submissions are added to the [Shopify customers list](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/customers/manage-customers) and the email marketing status is set to “Subscribed”. These customers have the tag “Quiz Kit app subscriber” so you can easily identify how they were added. You can also [create a customer segment for targeted marketing with apps like Klaviyo](https://help.klaviyo.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005080907-Use-Shopify-Tags-to-Filter-Customers).
All customer answers including emails, phone numbers, birthdays, and names are saved in Quiz Kit's [Submissions](/analytics-and-optimization/viewing-submission-data.md) section under that particular quiz.
### Using email marketing apps
Quiz Kit integrates with the most popular email marketing apps. You can find more info about configuring integrations with these apps on our [Quiz Kit Integrations](/building-a-quiz/integrations.md) page.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip:**
You can use the **Marketing property name (optional)** field to pass data to your third-party app of choice.
