I have followed the instructions in the manual and copied the html code into Squarespace,?but then it takes the user to the Groups IO confirmation page and I want people to be able to sign up directly from our website without first having to go to Groups IO homepage.

Essentially I'd love a sign up form that's embedded into our website like this:?
That feature cannot be achieved without API function calls.

That feels like a more elegant solution.?
Well, it really isn't the same thing. You're asking for a feature that allows signup to a group that resides on a different server/domain. Validating the request and passing login credentials from your host to groups.io in a manner that's not subject to hacking is not a trivial exercise. Imagine a bot accessing your site and sending multiple join requests via the form you provided.

Is there a specific section on the?groups.io API?page that explains how to do this?
I'm afraid GMF is not the right group for that. I suggest you and post your inquiry there. Meanwhile, you can check the docs at?/api#register_user?

Doing this will probably also require some familiarity with PHP (or another scripting language). Your web host may not even allow you to use PHP shell functions.
