For everything to work properly, we need to connect your site to MailUp. Let’s see how to do it:

• Open the admin screen of your WordPress website;
• Move to the Contact > Integration menu page;
• Find a box titled MailUp;

• Click the Setup Integration button;
• The MailUp connection page will be displayed;

• Click on the Connect to MailUp button to start the authorization process.
• You’ll get directed to the MailUp log-in page (if you are not logged-in yet) and will be asked to authorize the website to access your MailUp account.

• After that, you will be redirected back to WordPress and find that the border color of the box has changed to blue. The blue border indicates that the connection to the API has been created successfully.

Now, your contact forms and MailUp are connected.

Every time a valid form submission is received – if Add form submission to MailUp is checked – Contact Form 7 will send a request to MailUp API that MailUp add the contact data to its database based on the submission. You can also use double opt-in, if you want your user to confirm subscription to the newsletter;

• Choose the list in which you want to save the contacts and save the changes to continue your configuration;
• At this point, you can select the groups of the chosen list where to save your contacts (optional);

• In addition to the groups, you can map the fields of your form that you want to send to MailUp; Yes, finally you don’t have to go crazy copying and pasting code, the simplified interface allows you to manage the fields with just a few clicks;

It is strongly recommended that you obtain clear consent from the contact form submitter before adding their contact data to the subscription list. This is not only because collecting and using personal data without consent is illegal. It is also because delivering email to unintended receivers leads to a high spam complaint rate.

For form fields that check submitters’ consent for adding their contact data to MailUp subscription list, Contact Form 7 provides the consent_for:mailup form-tag option. You can use the option like in the following example:

[acceptance your-consent optional consent_for:mailup]
Add me to MailUp subscription list.
[/acceptance]

If you have this form-tag (acceptance checkbox) in your contact form, Contact Form 7 sends the contact data to the MailUp API only when the submitter has selected the checkbox to confirm their consent.
