Campaign Monitor

Campaign Monitor is a bulk email platform. The integration between eventplus and Campaign Monitor allows participants emails to be automatically added to a Campaign Monitor email list when they register, and removed if the participant withdrawals.

Setup

The first steps are done on the Campaign Monitor website (campaignmonitor.com).

  1. Either create a new Campaign Monitor account, or login to your existing account.
  2. Under “Account” then “Account Settings” and generate API keys
  3. Create an API key, copy this key as you'll need to enter it into the eventplus dashboard.
  4. Setup your lists. In the Campaign Monitor dashboard, click 'Lists & subscribers' from the top menu, click on the name of the list you want, then click 'Settings' on the bottom of the left menu, finally scroll to the bottom of the settings page and copy the 'List API ID' value. It's important to understand the scenarios where emails can be added to list(s) in order to setup your list(s) in the most useful way.
  5. eventplus provides the option add emails to the list(s) for the following scenarios:
    1. Participant visits the event registration form and enters their email;
    2. Participant registers for the event, at which time if they had previously been added as a “visitor” the email can be automatically removed from that list/tag.

The next steps are on the eventplus dashboard.

  1. Navigate to Setup > Integrations > Campaign Monitor
  2. Enter your Campaign Monitor API key.
  3. Update these settings:
    1. When a person signs in for this event subscribe them to this list - Set this if you wish to add the email when a person visits the event registration form and enters their email (first step in the registration process).
    2. When a person registers for this event subscribe them to this list - Set this if you want to add participants who register for the event
    3. …and unsubscribe them from this other list - And you can remove from the initial list.
    4. …also subscribe any family members registered at the same time - If family members have been entered and an email specified add them too.
    5. …unsubscribe them if they withdraw from the event - Unsubscribe if they withdrawal from the event.
