OttoKit newsletter automation for MailerPress
OttoKit, an automation platform with a WordPress plugin, connects MailerPress to the other apps in your workflows.
- 9 triggers: MailerPress events start OttoKit workflows.
- 15 actions: OttoKit adds, reads and tidies MailerPress contacts, lists and tags.
- Since 1.1.14: the OttoKit plugin version that added the integration.
- Community integration: built and maintained by the OttoKit team, not by MailerPress.
Add contacts with their lists and tags
One action creates or updates a contact with everything you need to segment it later.
- Add contact to list: creates the contact, or updates it when the email already exists.
- Contact data: first name, last name, subscription status, lists and tags.
- New lists and tags: created under the name you give if they do not exist yet.
- Custom fields: filled too since OttoKit 1.1.38.
- Example: webinar sign-ups from another app land in a “Webinar” list, tagged by session.
Share MailerPress events with your other apps
Nine MailerPress triggers start an OttoKit workflow, so your other apps follow every change in your audience.
- Contact triggers: New Contact Created, Contact Updated, tag or list added to or removed from a contact.
- Other triggers: List Created, Tag Created and Campaign Created.
- Data passed: email, name, subscription status and opt-in source of the new contact.
- Example: copy every new contact to a Google Sheets row.
- WordPress hooks: fired by MailerPress (free), such as
mailerpress_contact_created.
Look up and tidy your audience
Other OttoKit actions read your MailerPress data or clean it up from any workflow.
- Lookups: Get contact by email, Get contacts by list, Get contacts by tag.
- Overviews: Get all lists, Get all tags and Get all segments.
- Clean-up: remove a tag or a list from a contact, or delete a contact.
- Lists and tags: create or delete them.
- Example: a data deletion request in another app deletes the matching MailerPress contact.
