Once you submit the form, return to Pabbly Connect to check for the captured response. You should see the details of the submission, including the name, email, and service type. This confirms that the connection between Gravity Forms and Pabbly Connect is successful.

You will need to connect your Mailercloud account by entering the API key, which you can find in your Mailercloud account under the Integrations section. After entering the API key, select the list where you want to add subscribers, map the fields from the Gravity Forms submission to the Mailercloud fields, and then save the settings.

Finally, test the action by sending a test request. If successful, you will see the new subscriber added to your Mailercloud list.
