MailerLite for Statamic Documentation

Setup

Install the add-on

You should install via the Statamic Marketplace at https://statamic.com/addons/siterig/mailerlite or you can use composer in your project root:

  composer require siterig/mailerlite

Add your MailerLite API key to the .env file

In your .env file add a new line with your MailerLite API key. This can be either a MailerLite Classic or MailerLite New key.

  MAILERLITE_API_KEY=your-key-goes-here

Publish the configuration file

Publish the config file to config/mailerlite.php by running the following artisan command:

  php artisan vendor:publish --tag="mailerlite-config"

Now you can configure your form settings within the Control Panel from the MailerLite menu option.

Create a form in Statamic

Your form only needs an email field as an absolute minimum, but our recommended form setup is:

• Name
• Email
• Marketing Opt-in

MailerLite settings

For each Statamic Form that you want to connect with MailerLite you can add a form entry in the MailerLite settings.

MailerLite API Key

This is a read-only field that displays your current API key that is set in the .env file.

Form

Select the Statamic Form you would like to capture submissions from.

Subscriber Group

If you have setup Subscriber Groups you can select which one submissions from this form should be added to.

Name Field

This is the field you want to use to capture someones name, by default the add-on will split this name by the first space character into first name and last name to be sent to your MailerLite list. You can disable Automatic Name Splitting using the setting listed below or by mapping an additional field to MailerLite's last_name field.

Email Field

This is the only field that is required by MailerLite on a submission. We don't do anything special with this field so you'll need to make sure you have validation setup in Statamic and/or your front-end code if required.

Automatically Split Name

When enabled this splits the Name Field into first name and last name using the first space character it finds. This setting is ignored if you map a seperate field to last_name.

Opt-in Field

This should ideally be an un-ticked checkbox that conforms to data protection regulations in your region. If the user does not tick this checkbox the submission to Statamic will still go through but the details will not be sent to MailerLite.

Mapped Fields

This is where you can map any additional MailerLite fields such as last_name or company as well as any custom fields you've created.
