Connecting a Service

To use email marketing integrations, you first need to connect your account.

Navigate to Settings → Page Builder → Email Marketing

Choose Service

Click on the service you want to connect from the list

Enter API Credentials

Enter your API key or credentials (found in your email service account)

Test Connection

Click Connect to test and save the connection

Name Your Account

Give your connection a name (useful if you have multiple accounts)

You can connect multiple accounts for the same service, which is useful for agencies managing multiple clients.

Once connected, use the Subscribe Form module to add signup forms to your layouts.

Basic Setup

Open the Content Panel
Find the Subscribe Form module

Service-Specific Features

Each email service has unique features and setup requirements.

MailChimp

Connection Settings:

api_key

string

required

Your MailChimp API key from Account → Extras → API Keys

Features:

Lists: Subscribe to specific audience lists
Groups: Segment subscribers into groups
Tags: Apply tags for organization
Double Opt-in: Enable/disable with filter

add_filter( 'fl_builder_mailchimp_double_option', '__return_true' );

Name Handling:

class-fl-builder-service-mailchimp.php

if ( $name ) {
    $names = explode( ' ', $name );
    if ( isset( $names[0] ) ) {
        $data['FNAME'] = $names[0];
        $data['LNAME'] = ltrim( str_replace( $names[0], '', $name ) );
    }
}

MailChimp automatically splits full names into first and last name fields (FNAME and LNAME).

ActiveCampaign

Connection Settings:

api_url

string

required

Your ActiveCampaign API URL from My Settings → Developer → API

api_key

string

required

Your ActiveCampaign API key from My Settings → Developer → API

Features:

Lists: Subscribe to contact lists
Forms: Use ActiveCampaign’s native forms
Tags: Apply tags for segmentation
Type Selection: Choose between List or Form subscription

class-fl-builder-service-activecampaign.php

$data['status'] = array(
    $list_id => 1,  // Active status
);
$data['instantresponders'] = array(
    $list_id => 1,  // Trigger autoresponders
);

ConvertKit

Connection Settings:

api_key

string

required

Your ConvertKit API key from Account → Settings → API

Features:

Forms: Subscribe via ConvertKit forms
Tags: Apply tags to subscribers
Sequences: Add to email sequences

ConvertKit is particularly popular among bloggers and content creators for its simplicity and powerful automation features.

GetResponse

Connection Settings:

api_key

string

required

Your GetResponse API key from My Account → API & OAuth

Features:

Campaigns: Subscribe to specific campaigns (lists)
Custom Fields: Map to GetResponse custom fields
Autoresponders: Trigger autoresponder sequences

Drip

Connection Settings:

api_token

string

required

Your Drip API token from User Settings → API Tokens

account_id

string

required

Your Drip account ID from your account URL

Features:

Tags: Apply tags for segmentation
Custom Fields: Send custom field data
E-commerce Focus: Ideal for online stores

Sendinblue (Brevo)

Connection Settings:

api_key

string

Simplicity: Easy setup and configuration

Email Address (SMTP)

The simplest option - send form submissions directly to an email address:

string

required

The email address to receive form submissions

Using “Email Address” sends plain emails and doesn’t add subscribers to a managed list. For proper email marketing, use a dedicated service.

Groundhogg (WordPress CRM)

Features:

Native Integration: No API key needed (plugin-based)
Lists: Subscribe to Groundhogg lists
Tags: Apply tags within WordPress
CRM Features: Full CRM functionality within WordPress

Groundhogg is the only service that doesn’t require external API credentials since it’s a WordPress plugin.

MailPoet (WordPress Email)

Another WordPress-native solution: Features:

Native Integration: No external API required
Lists: Subscribe to MailPoet lists
WordPress Admin: Manage everything in WordPress
GDPR Friendly: Built-in compliance tools

Integration Examples

Configure Service

Service: Select your connected MailChimp account
List: Choose your newsletter list

Set Fields

Show Name Field: Yes
Email Field: Enabled by default
Button Text: “Subscribe Now”

Style the Form

Lead Magnet with Tags

Create a targeted lead magnet form with tagging:

Setup Form

Add Subscribe Form module with your service

Configure Tags

ActiveCampaign: Add tags like “Lead-Magnet-Download”
MailChimp: Apply subscriber tags for segmentation

Success Message

Set a custom success message with download link:

Thank you! Check your email for the download link.

Multi-Step Subscription

Combine multiple forms for progressive profiling:

Step 1: Basic email capture
Step 2: Name and preferences (separate form)
Step 3: Additional details (another form)

Each form updates the same subscriber with additional information.

API Classes

All email service integrations extend the base FLBuilderService class:

final class FLBuilderServiceMailChimp extends FLBuilderService {
    public $id = 'mailchimp';
    
    public function get_api( $api_key ) {
        // Return API instance
    }
    
    public function connect( $fields = array() ) {
        // Test connection
    }
    
    public function render_fields( $account, $settings ) {
        // Render service-specific fields
    }
    
    public function subscribe( $settings, $email, $name = false ) {
        // Subscribe the email
    }
}

Troubleshooting

API Key Not Working

Verify the API key is copied correctly (no spaces)

Lists Not Appearing

Refresh the builder panel to reload lists
Check that your API key has permission to access lists
Try disconnecting and reconnecting the account

Subscribers Not Added

Check spam folders for confirmation emails (double opt-in)
Verify the email address is valid
Check your email service’s activity log
Ensure the list/form ID hasn’t changed

Double Opt-in Issues

Some services require double opt-in by default
Use filters to disable double opt-in if needed

Verify sender email is authorized

Tags Not Applied

Ensure tags exist in your email service first
Some services create tags automatically, others require pre-creation
Check tag character limits and special character restrictions
Verify API permissions include tag management
