Requirement – This widget is a part of The Plus Addons for Elementor, make sure it’s installed & activated to enjoy all its powers.
Before You Start
- Edition: Pro — The MailerLite action needs The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro. The free plugin does not list it.
- Widget to enable: Form, switched on under The Plus Addons > Widgets.
- A MailerLite account, an API token and the Group ID of an existing group.
- Name your fields’ Unique ID (field Advance tab) exactly like this:
emailfor the email address. Other fields are not sent.
Get Your MailerLite API Token
Log in to MailerLite, then:
- Click Integrations in the left sidebar.
- Under MailerLite API, click Use.
- Click Generate new token, give it a name, accept the terms and click Create token.
- Copy the token. MailerLite shows it only once.
Find Your MailerLite Group ID
Create a group first if you don’t have one. Then:
- Go to Integrations and click Use under MailerLite API again.
- Scroll to the bottom of the API page and copy the Group ID.
Connect the Form Widget
- Add the Form widget to your page and set up your fields.
- In Content > Submit Actions, add MailerLite to Add Action.
- Open the MailerLite section and fill in the fields below, then publish.
| Setting | What to enter |
|---|---|
| API Key | Your MailerLite API token |
| Group ID | The ID of the group the subscribers should join. Required |
How It Behaves
- Each submission adds the email address as a MailerLite subscriber in the group you entered.
Limitations
- Only the email address is sent. The first name is currently not passed to MailerLite, even if your form has a
first_namefield. - The Group ID is required: without it the action fails.
Troubleshooting
Visitors see “There was an error in submitting the form.”
The service rejected the request. Re-copy the key and ID without spaces, check the Email field’s Unique ID is email, and test again. While this error shows, a Redirect action does not run.
