Configuration Instructions

Retrieving and configuring your Campaign Monitor mailing lists is a 3 step process:

1. Enter your Campaign Monitor API key, and click the "Get clients" link.
2. Select a client from the drop-down list, and click the "Get mailing lists" link.
3. Select the mailing lists you'd like newly-activated members to join, by ticking the checkbox next to the list name. If required, you can also select an "opt-in trigger" (see below), and associate custom mailing list fields with custom ExpressionEngine member profile fields.

Trigger fields

A "trigger" field is a custom ExpressionEngine member profile field that must contain a specified value in order for the mailing list subscription to be processed.

For example, you may have a "Special Offers" mailing list, which new members must opt-in to. Here's how to implement this:

1. Create a new custom EE member profile field, and give it an appropriate field name (for example, "subscribe-offers") and label (for example, "Receive our special offers newsletter?"). Specify Drop-down list as the field type, and add the options Yes and No.
2. Open the Campaigner extension settings page. Tick the checkbox for the "Special Offers" mailing list, select the member profile field you just created from the "Trigger field" drop-down, and set the "Trigger value" to Yes.
