1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration
To create or update a Mailercloud subscriber on Contact Form 7 submission, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect homepage by entering the URL Pabbly.com/connect in your browser.
Once on the homepage, you will see options to sign in or sign up for free. If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign up for free’ button to create an account. You will receive 100 free tasks monthly, allowing you to explore the features of Pabbly Connect.
2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect
After signing in, navigate to the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. Here, you can create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. A dialog box will appear prompting you to name your workflow.
Name your workflow as ‘Create or Update Mailercloud Subscriber on Contact Form 7 Submission’ and select an appropriate folder for organization. This workflow will automate the process of adding subscribers to Mailercloud whenever a new contact form is submitted.
- Click on ‘Create’ to start building your workflow.
- You will see a blank workflow with options for triggers and actions.
- Set Contact Form 7 as the trigger application and Mailercloud as the action application.
This setup allows Pabbly Connect to manage the automation process efficiently by linking the two applications.
3. Setting Up the Trigger with Contact Form 7
In this step, you will configure the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Select Contact Form 7 as the trigger application and choose the event ‘New Form Submission’. This means that every time a new form is submitted, it will trigger the workflow.
Next, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. Copy this URL as you will need it to connect Contact Form 7 with Pabbly Connect. Now, go to your WordPress dashboard where Contact Form 7 is installed.
- Navigate to the Contact Form 7 forms and select the form you want to connect.
- In the form settings, go to the Webhooks section and enable the webhook integration.
- Paste the copied webhook URL and save the settings.
With this setup, each form submission will send the data to Pabbly Connect, which will then process it for the next step.
4. Setting Up the Action with Mailercloud
Now that the trigger is set, it’s time to configure the action step in Pabbly Connect. Select Mailercloud as the action application and choose the action event ‘Create or Update Subscriber’. This action will allow you to add or update subscriber details in Mailercloud based on the form submissions.
To connect Pabbly Connect with Mailercloud, you will need to provide your Mailercloud API key. Navigate to your Mailercloud account, go to the account settings, and find the API key under the Integrations section. Copy this key and return to Pabbly Connect to paste it into the connection setup.
Select the list in Mailercloud where you want to add the subscribers. Map the fields from the form submission to the corresponding fields in Mailercloud. Test the connection by sending a test request to ensure everything is set up correctly.
This configuration ensures that every new lead from Contact Form 7 is automatically added as a subscriber in Mailercloud through the power of Pabbly Connect.
5. Testing the Integration
After setting up both the trigger and action, it’s essential to test the integration. Go back to your Contact Form 7 and submit a test form with dummy lead details. This will initiate the workflow you created in Pabbly Connect.
Once you submit the form, return to Pabbly Connect to check if the response from the form submission has been captured. You should see the lead details reflected in the response section.
Verify that the lead information is correctly populated in Mailercloud. Repeat the test with different details to ensure the workflow is consistently functioning. Monitor the Mailercloud account to confirm that new subscribers are being added automatically.
This testing phase validates that your integration is successful and that Pabbly Connect is effectively automating the process of subscriber management.
