# Create a Subscribe Tool

Learn how to create a Subscribe Tool below.

          **What is a Subscribe Tool?**

          

A Subscribe Tool is used to collect information from a subscriber when they subscribe to your newsletter. For example, you can collect an email addres, first name and last name. With the information you collect using the Subscribe Tool, you can use that information to send newsletters to your subscribes through yawave.

**Note:** Documentation on how to send newsletters using yawave is coming soon.
