# MailerLite Integration ## Why MailerLite? MailerLite is a more polished and fully featured newsletter solution designed for marketers. It's also much easier to use than most newsletter solutions. {% embed url="" %} ## Looking for MailerLite Classic? This guide works for the newer version of MailerLite.

Find the Integrations Section to Access Your API Keys

Find the section for API and click the "Use" button.

One on the APIs screen, click the button for "Generate New Token."

Name the token something memorable and create the token.

Once you've clicked on "Create Token", you're presented with your token (API key). Save this somewhere you can access it later such as in a password manager. You'll use this token in the Comment Edit Pro MailerLite integration settings.

### Adding the MailerLite Token to the Integration Input your API Key and click on "Connect to MailerLite."

Connect to MailerLite With Your API Token/Key

### Selecting a Group Groups are like tags, and if you have any, they'll be listed in this section.

Select One or More Groups for Your Subscribers

You can also add your own Groups (tags) and refresh them if they are updated elsewhere. ### Selecting a Field (Custom Fields)

MailerLite Fields are Shown in the Custom Fields Section

With Custom Fields, you can map all of your MailerLite fields to the various comment fields available.

You're also able to refresh your Fields and add in new ones. If you need to delete any fields, I recommend doing so in the MailerLite interface.

{% hint style="info" %} All Fields created using this integration will have the type of 'text.' {% endhint %} ### Set up Default Options You can also set the sign-up label, whether to enable double-optin, and to have the signup checkbox enabled or disabled by default.

### What the User Sees

The user will see a Subscribe checkbox; if they subscribe, they will be sent an email for an opt-in request. ### What You'll See If the user subscribes, you will be able to view the subscriber and see all of the mapped custom fields and groups. It'll also have an opt-in date should you choose to disable double opt-in.
