The Kadence Form and Form (Adv) Blocks both support integration with Mailerlite. Below, you will learn how you can start using Kadence alongside Mailerlite.
Mailerlite Setup
You must set up an account with Mailerlite, create a Group for users to be added to, and connect a Mailerlite API Key to your Kadence Form to fully integrate Mailerlite with Kadence.
Get started by heading over to the Mailerlite Website. You can create a new account or log in to an existing one.
Creating a new group
From the Mailerlite Dashboard, go to the Subscribers tab.
Once on the Subscribers page, find the sub-page named Groups and click on it.
Click on the Create group button to create a new group. In the popup, create a name for the group, then click on the Create button.
Once the group is created, you will be left with a basic overview of the new group.
Navigate to the Fields tab to add or remove fields from the group. Kadence Forms and Advanced Forms Fields can be mapped to send input data to Specified Group Fields.
Creating an API Token
Next, you need an API Token for your Form to connect with. Navigate over to the Integrations Tab from the MailerLite Dashboard. Next to the API section, click on the Use button.
Then, click on the Generate New Token button to generate a new one to associate with Kadence.
The API token will then be generated. Click on the Copy button to copy the Token to your clipboard. You can also download this Token using the Download button. This API Token can be used to connect Mailerlite to the Kadence Form Blocks.
