How this Create or update subscriber form template (MailerLite Classic integration) works

This template streamlines subscriber management for MailerLite Classic using Zapier's suite of tools. Here's how it works:

A custom form is created using Interfaces, capturing all your necessary subscriber details.
When someone fills out the form, their data gets temporarily stored in a table.
This new data entry automatically triggers a Zap.
The Zap processes the info and sends it to MailerLite Classic using the Create/Update Subscriber action.
If the subscriber already exists in MailerLite Classic, their information gets updated. If they're new, a new subscriber is created.
The entire workflow can be visualized and optimized using Canvas.

This automated process ensures your MailerLite Classic subscriber list remains accurate and up-to-date without manual data entry or transfers.

To set up the template:

Connect your MailerLite Classic account to Zapier if you haven't already.
Customize the interface form fields to match your specific subscriber data needs.
Adjust the table structure to align with your form fields.
Review and activate the Zap that connects the form data to MailerLite Classic.
Test the workflow to make sure everything's functioning correctly.
Embed the form on your website or share it with a direct link.
