Connect Gravity Forms to MailPoet

Now that you have everything you need to connect Gravity Forms to MailPoet, you’re ready for lift-off. Here are just some of the awesome Gravity Forms and MailPoet integrations that you can create with Automator.

Start a Paid Newsletter Subscription

With this Automator recipe, you can easily combine Gravity Forms’ payment processing feature with your stunning MailPoet emails. Whether you want to create a recurring paid subscription or add paying members to an exclusive mailist list, there’s no easier way to monetize your newsletter.

Step 1: Create a New Recipe

From your WordPress Admin Sidebar, navigate to Automator > Add New. A pop-up window will appear where you can select your recipe type. Because we want anyone to be able to subscribe to our paid newsletter, even casual site visitors, select Everyone.

Step 2: Name Your Recipe

Once you’ve gotten the hang of creating Automator recipes, you’ll want to make more and more of them. As such, it’s important to give your recipes a name that makes them easy to recognize at a glance. For example, we’ve named this recipe Gravity Forms + MailPoet: Paid Newsletter Subscription. It’s not exactly the kind of gripping email subject lines that make your newsletter so compelling, but it gets to the point.

Step 3: Configure Your Trigger(s)

In the Triggers panel, from the menu of available integrations, click on Gravity Forms.

From the drop-down list that appears, select A form is submitted with payment.

Automator will prompt you to select your paid newsletter registration form. (If you don’t know how to set up a registration form with a payment field, Gravity Forms offers this step-by-step guide.)

After you’ve selected your paid newsletter registration form, click Save. Your trigger should look something like this:

Step 4: Configure Your Action(s)

In the Actions panel, click on Add action. From the menu of available integrations, click on MailPoet.

From the drop-down list that appears, select Add a subscriber to a list.

Automator will prompt you to fill out the information for your new subscriber. You can use tokens to accomplish this. In Automator, tokens are dynamic pieces of information pulled from your WordPress website or, as with this instance, from within the recipe itself.

To select tokens, click on the Asterisk next to the field. From the drop-down list that appears, select the token you want to populate the field with. In our case, we want to populate the Email field with the email address that our new subscriber entered into the Gravity Forms email field.

Fill out the remaining fields using tokens from your Gravity Forms registration form.

After you’ve filled out all of the fields using Gravity Forms tokens, click Save. Automator will then prompt you to select the MailPoet list(s) to which you would like to add your new subscriber. We’ve selected our Paid Newsletter Mailing List. When you’re finished, click Save. Your action should look something like this:

Step 5: Start Writing Your Emails!

You’re just about done. All that’s left for you to do is to toggle your new recipe from Draft to Live.

Congratulations! You’ve just made your first Gravity Forms and MailPoet integration. The first of many, we’re sure. Once you become an “Automator Pro”—pun intended—you’ll be able to create incredibly powerful recipes that suit your specific workflows. Try adding some advanced features such as filters, delays and calculations to the recipe above to customize your paid newsletter subscription.

For example, we’ve added a second action along with a filter and delay to automatically remove subscribers from our paid mailing list if they haven’t re-submitted a subscription form with payment after 30 days. It’s a great way to maximize your readers’ engagement while minimizing the amount of time you’re spending micro-managing your lists.

Build an Email Opt-in That Defies Gravity

With a Gravity Forms and MailPoet integration, you can help your subscribers choose which of your newsletters is right for them. With this Automator recipe, we’re able to allow our new subscribers to decide which of our mailing lists suits their needs.

Step 1: Create a New Recipe

From your WordPress Admin Sidebar, navigate to Automator > Add New. A pop-up window will appear where you can select your recipe type. Because we want anyone to be able to subscribe to our paid newsletter, even casual site visitors, select Everyone.

Step 2: Name Your Recipe

We’ve named this recipe Marketing Email Opt-In.

Step 3: Configure Your Trigger(s)

In the Triggers panel, from the menu of available integrations, click on Gravity Forms. From the drop-down list, select A form is submitted with a specific value in a specific field.

Automator will then prompt you to select the field and input the value. In our example, we’re allowing our new subscribers to decide how frequently they want to receive our marketing newsletter. In our Gravity Forms registration form, they can select from “Daily” to “Special Occasions Only”. We’re creating this recipe for those who have selected “Daily”.

Step 4: Configure Your Action(s)

In the Actions panel, click on Add action. From the menu of available integrations, click on MailPoet. From the drop-down list that appears, select Add a subscriber to a list and fill out the fields using tokens.

Step 5: Go Live!

Toggle your recipe from Draft to Live and let your users tell you how best to communicate with them!

Once you’ve gotten the hang of creating more Automator recipes, you can start to use advanced features such as multiple actions, filters and delays. Take this recipe, for example, that allows our existing subscribers to pick and choose which of our MailPoet lists they want to sign up for all from one Gravity Forms submission!
