Note: The MailerLite integration is only available to users on a GrowSurf paid plan.
Step 1: In Campaign Editor > 4. Options > Integrations, open the MailerLite integration card and enter your MailerLite API key (click here to get your MailerLite API key).
IMPORTANT: Because the GrowSurf data sync to MailerLite only occurs after you have connected with the integration, it is imperative to connect with the integration BEFORE importing participants. Click here to see remedy options if you have already imported participants into your campaign but would like to sync their GrowSurf data to MailerLite.
Step 2: Once connected, choose the MailerLite Group that you want to automatically sync to. GrowSurf will add/update your MailerLite subscribers every time a new participant is added or referred to your referral campaign.
Step 3: Save changes. You should now see a screen that looks like the one below:

If the new participant isn't being added to MailerLite, or if they are being added but their unique referral link isn't being synced to MailerLite:
Activity logs will denote if a participant was added to MailerLite or if they were failed to be added. (In the case of failure, GrowSurf will re-attempt to add them for 7 days).
