How to integrate MailerLite with Google Forms

If you’re a content creator, blogger, or small-business owner, growing your subscriber list is key to growing your business. However, as the number of subscribers gets bigger, managing your list manually becomes harder. If you use MailerLite and want to automate data transfer with Google Forms as your email list builder, you may be disappointed to know there isn’t a native integration between the two tools. 

Don’t worry; all is not lost. You can still link these applications using a third-party automation tool. In this article, we’ll provide a few options for creating a Google Forms–MailerLite integration, and we’ll walk you through how to use the most popular platform, Zapier, to create the automated workflow you need.

We’ll also introduce you to another form builder, Jotform, that offers a native integration with MailerLite, removing the need for a third-party tool.

Google Forms–MailerLite integration via third party tools

Using Google Forms is pretty easy until you want to do anything other than create a basic form. The form builder doesn’t come with advanced functions or integrations with common tools, which can be frustrating for many users. 

To connect Google Forms to MailerLite, you have to rely on third-party tools. Here are some of your options:

• Zapier: This leading no-code workflow automation solution offers a Quick Connect function between Google Forms and MailerLite. It also offers several workflow templates you can customize.
• Pabbly Connect: This workflow automation tool simplifies the process of connecting Google Forms with MailerLite. You don’t need any code, and you can complete the integration in minutes.
• LeadsBridge: This automated lead management and integration platform provides custom integration between Google Forms and MailerLite.
• Integrately: This workflow automation tool offers several workflow templates between Google Forms and MailerLite.
• n8n: This low-code workflow automation tool connects Google Forms and MailerLite with APIs. It also offers several other integration options for MailerLite.

Creating Google Forms newsletter signups in MailerLite can be complex if you’re not familiar with these third-party workflow automation tools. We’ll walk you through how to use Zapier, one of the most popular options. To complete the process, you will need to have a Google account (with a specific form in Google Forms that you want to connect), a MailerLite account, and a Zapier account. 

Here’s what you do:

1. Go to the Zapier Google Forms and MailerLite Quick Connect page.

2. Click the Google Forms icon and, from the dropdown menu, select the trigger that will start the workflow. For example, you might click New Form Response.

3. Click the MailerLite icon and, from the dropdown menu, select the action that should occur as a result of the trigger. For example, you can select Add Subscriber to a Group.

4. Click Integrate for free.

5. Log in to your Zapier account.

6. Click Google Forms and follow the prompts to connect it to your Zapier account. Configure and test the connection with Google Forms. 

7. Click MailerLite and follow the prompts to connect it to your Zapier account. Configure and test the connection with Google Forms, ensuring you have mapped the data from Google Forms to MailerLite.

8. Click Test run at the top right to see if the connection works. Make any necessary changes.

9. Click Publish. Now, whenever Google Forms receives a new newsletter signup, for instance, it will add the subscriber to the designated group in MailerLite.

While the process of adding subscribers from Google Forms to MailerLite with Zapier is mostly straightforward, it can sometimes require specialized technical knowledge and troubleshooting skills. If you don’t want to deal with third-party workflow automation solutions, it’s time to look for a form builder that natively connects to MailerLite.

Jotform integrates with MailerLite natively

Creating a MailerLite subscriber sync with Google Forms is possible only with a third-party solution. It’s a good thing Google Forms isn’t the only form builder around. Another option is Jotform, the best Google Forms alternative and one that offers a direct, native integration with MailerLite and several other tools.

With the Jotform MailerLite integration, you can easily collect subscriber emails with online forms and automatically sync them to MailerLite. The direct integration helps you manage subscriber lists in your email marketing software without the hassle of learning new third-party tools.

The integration is quick and easy, built right into the Jotform Form Builder. Learn how to integrate MailerLite with Jotform by following these simple instructions: 

1. Open the form you want to connect to MailerLite in the Jotform Form Builder, and click Settings in the top menu.
2. Click Integrations in the side menu.
3. Search for and click on MailerLite.

4. Enter your MailerLite API key. Click Authenticate. (Not sure where your MailerLite API key is? Follow these directions from MailerLite to locate it.)

5. Provide the following information to configure your integration:
   • Match your fields: Align your MailerLite fields with Jotform. The integration automatically matches equivalent fields, but you can also add new fields and match them based on your needs. 
   • Select a group: Choose the group in MailerLite where you would like to add subscribers.
   • Settings: Choose whether you would like to Update existing contacts in MailerLite (if the subscriber is already in your contacts) and if you would like to Add existing submissions to MailerLite (if you have selected a group above). 

6. Click Save. 
7. Click Finish.

Integrating Jotform with MailerLite is that easy. Now, every time you receive a form submission in Jotform, the workflow will automatically add the contact as a subscriber in MailerLite. This process is far simpler than using third-party solutions to sync the two tools.
