1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To create a WordPress user from a MailerLite subscriber, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly website and signing in to your account. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and get 100 tasks each month.

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect app. Click on the ‘Access Now’ button to enter your dashboard. Here, you will create a new workflow that will facilitate the integration of MailerLite, WordPress, and Gmail.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow as ‘How to Create a WordPress User from MailerLite Subscriber’. This name will help you identify the workflow later.

Next, you will need to set up the trigger application. Select MailerLite as your trigger application and choose the event as ‘Subscriber Created’. This step ensures that the workflow is triggered whenever a new subscriber is added in MailerLite.

• Select MailerLite as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘Subscriber Created’ as the trigger event.
• Click on ‘Connect’ to link your MailerLite account.

This setup allows Pabbly Connect to listen for new subscribers and initiate the next steps in your workflow automatically.

3. Connecting MailerLite and Capturing Subscriber Data

When prompted, choose to add a new connection for MailerLite. You will need to enter your API token. This token can be generated from your MailerLite account settings. Once you have the token, paste it into the designated field in Pabbly Connect.

After saving the connection, you will need to test the setup by submitting a test subscriber through your MailerLite form. Enter dummy details such as name, email, and phone number to simulate a new subscription. This action will help capture the subscriber data needed for the next steps.

• Access your MailerLite form to submit test data.
• Fill in dummy information for the test submission.
• Click ‘Subscribe’ to complete the test submission.

This test will confirm that Pabbly Connect captures the subscriber details correctly, which is essential for creating a user in WordPress.

4. Creating a WordPress User from MailerLite Subscriber

Now, it’s time to set up the action application. Select WordPress as your action application and choose the event ‘Create User’. This step will create a new user in your WordPress site whenever a new subscriber is added to MailerLite.

Connect your WordPress account by entering your username, password, and the base URL of your WordPress site. Ensure that the WordPress REST API Authentication plugin is installed and activated on your site. This is crucial for the integration to work seamlessly.

Select WordPress as the action application. Choose ‘Create User’ as the action event. Enter your WordPress login credentials and base URL.

This process allows Pabbly Connect to create a user in WordPress automatically using the subscriber’s details captured from MailerLite.

5. Sharing Password via Gmail

To complete the workflow, you need to send the new user their login credentials via email. For this, add another action step and select Gmail as your action application. Choose the event ‘Send Email’ to configure the email settings.

Connect your Gmail account by allowing Pabbly Connect the necessary permissions. Then, set up the email fields including recipient email (mapped from the MailerLite subscriber), subject, and body content. Personalize the email by including the user’s name and login credentials.

Select Gmail as the action application. Choose ‘Send Email’ as the action event. Map the recipient email and customize the email content.

This final step ensures that new users receive their login information promptly, enhancing their experience. With Pabbly Connect, this entire process is automated, saving you time and effort.
