Camelot 2.0 includes a newsletter signup on news and offer pages. This can be linked to your 3rd party email marketing software such as Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, Hubspot, Sendinblue and many more so you can build your lists with minimumn effort. Before we connect the account, we need you to retrieve an API key from the settings of your email marketing provider.

Camelot 2.0 optin form is setup with Mailchimp which you can find this API in Profile > Extras > API Keys > Create New Key (Button). Take a copy of the API code for later.

Go to Bloom menu from your wordpress dashboard and you will see the default forms in the Active Optins – ‘Below (news)Post Optin’ is used at the end of every news post and ‘Inline Signup’ features on homepage and top level news page. You will need to do the following steps for both. Click the settings icon.

Select Email Provider from the dropdown list, in this case it’s Mailchimp but you can use the same process with another provider you wish. In Select Account select Add Account in the dropdown. Click the Add Account button that now appears. Here you will be asked to title your mailing list account and add the API key that you retrieved from the settings of your 3rd party account. Click Authorize.

You will then be asked which list(audience in Mailchimp’s case) you would like the signups to be added to. You may just have the one setup or multiple if you have a paid subscription.

Save and exit and then we are all set to receive new contacts.
