1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To integrate Mailercloud with Fluent Forms, you will first need to access Pabbly Connect. This powerful automation platform allows you to connect various applications seamlessly. Start by navigating to Pabbly’s website and select the Pabbly Connect product.

If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ option to create your account. Existing users can simply click on ‘Sign In’. After logging in, you will be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard, where you can create a new workflow.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once you are in the Pabbly Connect dashboard, click on the plus sign to create a new workflow. Name your workflow something like ‘Fluent Forms to Mailercloud Integration’. This will help you identify the workflow later.

In the workflow setup, you will see a trigger section and an action section. For this integration, the trigger will be a new form submission from Fluent Forms, and the action will be adding a subscriber to Mailercloud. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to listen for submissions and automatically perform actions based on those submissions.

• Click on the trigger window and choose Fluent Forms.
• Select ‘New Form Submission’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

After copying the webhook URL, you will need to set it up in your Fluent Forms application to ensure that submissions are sent to Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up Fluent Forms to Work with Pabbly Connect

Now, navigate to your WordPress dashboard and locate the Fluent Forms option. If you haven’t installed the Fluent Forms plugin yet, you will need to do that first. Open the form you wish to connect, such as your lead generation form.

In the Fluent Forms settings, go to the ‘Settings’ tab and select ‘Webhooks’. Here, you will need to add the webhook URL that you copied from Pabbly Connect. This step is crucial as it establishes the connection between Fluent Forms and Pabbly Connect.

• Click on ‘Add Webhook URL’.
• Name your webhook, for example, ‘Mailercloud Integration’.
• Paste the copied webhook URL into the URL field.

After saving these settings, your Fluent Forms will now send data to Pabbly Connect whenever a new form is submitted.

4. Testing the Integration with Pabbly Connect

With the webhook set up, it’s time to test the integration. Go back to your Fluent Forms lead generation form and fill it out with sample data. For instance, input the first name as ‘Adam’, last name as ‘Smith’, email as ‘[email protected]’, and submit the form.

After submitting the form, return to Pabbly Connect to check if the data has been captured successfully. You should see the submitted details appear in the Pabbly Connect dashboard. This confirms that your Fluent Forms submissions are now being sent to Pabbly Connect.

Verify that the first name, last name, email, and other details are correctly displayed. If everything looks good, proceed to the next step to add the subscriber.

This testing phase is essential to ensure that your integration is functioning as expected before going live.

5. Adding Subscribers to Mailercloud via Pabbly Connect

Now that you’ve confirmed the data is being captured, it’s time to add the subscriber to Mailercloud. In the action step of your Pabbly Connect workflow, select Mailercloud as the application and choose the action event as ‘Add Contact to List’.

When prompted, connect your Mailercloud account by providing the API key. You can find the API key in your Mailercloud account under the integrations section. Once connected, select the list to which you want to add the subscriber.

Map the email address, first name, and last name from the submitted form. Set the contact status as active or as per your requirement. Save the settings and send a test request to add the subscriber.

After completing this step, your subscriber will be added to the Mailercloud contact list, completing the integration process. This showcases how Pabbly Connect effectively automates the process of managing subscribers from Fluent Forms submissions.

Conclusion

In conclusion, integrating Mailercloud with Fluent Forms using Pabbly Connect is a straightforward process that greatly enhances subscriber management. By following these steps, you can automate the addition of subscribers to your Mailercloud account with ease. This integration not only saves time but also ensures that your email marketing efforts are streamlined and effective.
