Get MailerLite Subscribers From Your Comment Section
MailerLite is a more polished and fully featured newsletter solution designed for marketers. It's also much easier to use than most newsletter solutions.
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.
Visit the MailerLite settings in the Integrations tab. Click on "Enable MailerLite." You'll be prompted to enter your MailerLite API key.
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.
Input your API Key and click on "Connect to MailerLite."
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.
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.
All Fields created using this integration will have the type of 'text.'
You can also set the sign-up label, whether to enable double-optin, and to have the signup checkbox enabled or disabled by default.
The user will see a Subscribe checkbox; if they subscribe, they will be sent an email for an opt-in request.
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.
Get Subscribers From Your Comment Section
Mailchimp is by far the largest provider for newsletters. Adding Mailchimp to your comment section is a no-brainer and is an easy way to get more subscribers through comments.
With Mailchimp enabled in Comment Edit Pro, you'll see a checkbox just above the submit button.
You'll find Mailchimp in the Integrations tab in Comment Edit Pro. If you're setting it up for the first time, you'll see an enable toggle switch.
Once Mailchimp is enabled, you can enter your Mailchimp API key.
Mailchimp API Key: Please view the Mailchimp documentation on retrieving your API key.
Once you have entered your API key, you will need to save the options so that you can select a list.
Once a list is selected, you can configure and save the options.
You can customize:
The sign-up label: this will show above the comment submit button.
The checked state: you can check or uncheck the sign-up option.
Checked by default: having the box checked may affect spam protection in some countries.
With Mailchimp set up, you will now see a checkbox above the submit button for subscribing to a list.
If this feature proves popular and users request it, there is a plan to allow a Mailchimp list per post setting.
Get Flodesk Subscribers From Your Comment Section
Flodesk customers filter their subscribers into segments and have a robust custom-field solution.
Visit the Flodesk settings in the Integrations tab. Click on "Enable Flodesk." You'll be prompted to enter your Flodesk API key
Log into your Flodesk account and hover over your profile section. From there, head to Integrations.
Click on the API Keys tab to create a new API key.
When creating a new API key, you'll be presented with a modal, where you can copy your key.
Input your API Key and click on "Connect to Flodesk."
If your credentials are correct, you'll be able to select between adding subscribers to a segment.
You'll want to select at least one Segment to assign subscribers to.
Adding Custom Fields is straightforward. Just map each custom field to a comment field.
You can also add your own custom fields.
You can also set the sign-up label, and whether double-opt-in is enabled.
The user will see a Subscribe checkbox, and if they subscribe, the user will be sent an email for an opt-in request.
Check out the integrations to third-party services
You can find existing integrations by visiting the Integrations tab in Comment Edit pro.
You'll find two available services:
ConvertKit
Mailchimp
Slack
Get ConvertKit Subscribers From Your Comment Section
Several of our customers have requested a integration as it's cheaper than Mailchimp, and a bit more focused on ease-of-use and striking designs.
Visit the ConvertKit settings in the Integrations tab. Click on "Enable ConvertKit." You'll be prompted to enter your ConvertKit API key and secret key.
Log in to your ConvertKit account and go to the settings screen, which you can get to by clicking on your avatar on the top right.
Once on the settings page, scroll down until you see the Advanced section. Click on the Advanced section to get your API keys.
You will then be presented with your API Key and API Secret. These keys are what you would input into the ConvertKit integration.
Input your API Key and Secret Key into the settings and click on "Connect to ConvertKit."
If your credentials are correct, you'll be able to select between adding subscribers to a form, or add subscribers to just tags.
Using Forms: a current best practice is to create a phantom form and attach your subscribers based on the form name. The benefit of using forms over tags is that tagged subscribers are automatically subscribed with no double-opt-in. If a subscriber is attached to a form, it will ensure double-opt-in so you don't get in trouble with the spam police.
If you are choosing the form route, simply click on the form you'd like the subscribers added to.
Using Tags: if you choose to use Tags instead of forms, please be aware that users will be added without the 2nd opt-in in the double-opt-in workflow.
Additionally, you can add tags to the subscribers. If a tag doesn't exist, you can create a new one.
Adding Custom Fields to subscribers allows you to pass on extra information about that user to ConvertKit.
When you view a user's profile, these custom fields will be present.
You can also use custom values for the custom field. Just select "Custom Value" from the dropdown and you'll be presented with a text box. Click the "X" button to go back to the dropdown.
The last options allow you to set what the user sees on the frontend. You can set the opt-in checkbox text, and also whether the checkbox is enabled by default. To comply with spam rules, it is highly recommended to have this unchecked. Most countries require double-opt-in.
The users see a subscribe checkbox above the comment submit button.
Once the comment is posted, the commenter is sent a subscribe email.
If all is well, the subscriber is added to ConvertKit with the custom fields and tags associated with the subscriber.
Receive a Slack Notification for New and Edited Comments
Slack integration is now available for Comment Edit Pro. You can receive a Slack notification for new comments, and even edited comments.
