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.

Looking for MailerLite Classic?

This guide works for the newer version of MailerLite. Please see the MailerLite Classic documentation on how to connect MailerLite Classic to your comment section.

Enabling MailerLite

Visit the MailerLite settings in the Integrations tab. Click on "Enable MailerLite." You'll be prompted to enter your MailerLite API key.

Retrieving the API Keys

Log into your MailerLite account and find the Integrations tab on the left.

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."

Selecting a Group

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

You can also add your own Groups (tags) and refresh them if they are updated elsewhere.

Selecting a Field (Custom Fields)

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.

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.
