How to connect MailerPress with Fluent Forms

Send the people who fill in a Fluent Forms form straight to MailerPress. You connect each form with a MailerPress feed (a rule, in the form settings, that sends each submission to another service). In the feed, you choose the list, tags, fields and double opt-in behaviour.

This integration requires MailerPress Pro 1.3 or later and Fluent Forms (the free version is enough).

Enable the MailerPress integration in Fluent Forms

  1. Go to Fluent Forms > Integrations.
  2. Search for MailerPress and enable the integration. No API key (a secret code that lets one service connect to another) is needed, because MailerPress runs on the same site.

Add a MailerPress feed to a form

  1. Go to Fluent Forms > Forms, edit your form and open its settings.
  2. In the left panel, click Configure Integrations.
  3. Click the button to add a new integration and choose MailerPress Integration.
  4. Fill in the settings from the table below.
  5. Under Status, make sure Enable this feed is checked, then save the feed.

Enter EmailRequired. Insert your form’s email field with the Fluent Forms field picker.
Enter First Name / Enter Last NameOptional. Insert the matching form fields.
Select TagsOptional. One or more tags (labels to sort contacts) added to the contact.
Double Opt-InEnable Double Opt-In is checked by default. See below.
Opt-in SourceText saved as the contact’s opt-in source. Defaults to Fluent Form when empty.
Your custom fieldsEach MailerPress custom field is listed by label. Insert the form field that fills it, or leave it empty.
Conditional LogicsSend the submission only when your conditions are met, for example when a consent checkbox is ticked.

Double opt-in

Double opt-in means the new contact must click a link in a confirmation email before being subscribed. With Fluent Forms, the contact’s status depends only on the feed’s Double Opt-In option:

  • Enable Double Opt-In checked: the contact gets the Pending status and receives the confirmation email, even if sign-up confirmation is disabled in the MailerPress settings.
  • Cleared: the contact is subscribed directly.

You can edit the confirmation email in MailerPress > Settings > Sign-up Confirmation. See Enable sign-up confirmation (double opt-in).

Check the result

  1. Submit the form once.
  2. Open MailerPress > Audience > Contacts. The contact appears in the selected list with your tags and fields.
  3. If the contact is missing, check the submission in Fluent Forms. The feed is marked as failed when the email is not valid or when no list is selected.
