The Mailercloud plugin connects directly to the most popular WordPress form plugins — no third-party bridge plugin needed. Connect a form once, map its fields, and every submission is added or updated in your Mailercloud list automatically, matched on email so you never create duplicates.
Tip: This guide is for connecting forms you've already built in another plugin. If you'd rather build a form with Mailercloud's own drag-and-drop builder, see "How to create webforms and integrate them with your WordPress site."

Install and connect the Mailercloud plugin to your account. See "How to install Mailercloud's WordPress plugin."
Make sure you've already built at least one form in one of the supported form plugins.
1. In your WordPress admin, open "Mailercloud" from the left-hand menu, then go to the "Forms" tab. [confirm exact label against the shipped UI]
2. You'll see the form plugins detected on your site. Choose the form you want to connect.
3. Select the Mailercloud list this form should feed.
4. Map the form fields to your Mailercloud contact attributes — for example, Name to First name, and Email to Email. If you need an attribute that doesn't exist yet, create it here.
5. Click "Save". New submissions to that form are now added or updated in Mailercloud automatically.

Submissions are captured from any visitor who fills in a connected form — not only registered WordPress users. That means you collect real leads from your contact, sign-up, and subscribe forms, and you can watch your forms and lists grow right inside WordPress.
1. Submit a test entry on the front end of your site.
2. Open the connected list in your Mailercloud account.
3. Confirm the new contact appears with the fields you mapped.
My form isn't listed: Make sure the form plugin is active and you've created at least one form in it.
Contacts aren't syncing: Re-check that the plugin is connected with a valid API key, and that the form is mapped to a Mailercloud list.
Will I get duplicates?: No. Contacts are matched on email, so a repeat submission updates the existing record instead of creating a new one.
