After setting up the mapping, it’s crucial to test the integration using Pabbly Connect. Fill out the Formstack form as a demo lead and submit it. Upon submission, check the response section in Pabbly Connect to ensure you received the data correctly.

Finally, check your Mailgun mailing list to see if the new member has been added. Refresh the list to confirm that the demo lead appears as a subscriber. This process effectively automates the addition of Formstack leads to your Mailgun mailing list, saving you time and effort.
