Add a Subscriber to MailerLite

​

Steps to Add a Subscriber to MailerLite

​

1. Collect the User’s Email

• Add a step to your workflow that collects the user’s email.
• Store the collected email in a variable named, for example, {{user.email}}.

{
  "trigger": "Collect User Email",
  "userInput": {
    "type": "email",
    "label": "Enter your email address",
    "variableName": "user.email"
  }
}

​

2. Add a Webhook Step

• Insert a Webhook step after the email is collected.

​

3. Configure the Webhook Step

Set up the Webhook step with the following information:

​

Webhook Configuration:

• Method: POST
• URL: https://connect.mailerlite.com/api/subscribers
• Headers: Add the following headers:
  • Content-Type: application/json
  • Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN (replace YOUR_TOKEN with your MailerLite API key)
• Body: Configure the body as JSON with the email variable and any additional fields you want to include.

{
  "email": "{{user.email}}",
  "fields": {
    "name": "{{user.name}}"
  }
}

​

Example Setup:

{
  "method": "POST",
  "url": "https://connect.mailerlite.com/api/subscribers",
  "headers": {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
  },
  "body": {
    "email": "{{user.email}}",
    "fields": {
      "name": "{{user.name}}"
    }
  }
}

Note: You can find your API key in the MailerLite API settings.

​

4. Preview in Iframe

Ensure that the workflow is set up correctly, and test it using an iframe preview.

​

Iframe Example:

To preview, integrate an iframe in your testing environment. Example configuration:

<iframe
  src="https://your-app-preview-url"
  width="100%"
  height="600px"
  frameborder="0"
  allowFullScreen
></iframe>

​

5. Additional Fields

For more information on what fields you can add, refer to the MailerLite documentation: List All Fields.

​

Validation and Testing

Before deployment, verify the following:

• Ensure the email collection step saves the email correctly into the {{user.email}} variable.
• Validate that the Webhook request sends data accurately to MailerLite.
• Test the iframe preview to confirm it displays as expected.

Tip: Use JSONLint to validate your JSON structure.
