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).
Either create a new Campaign Monitor account, or login to your existing account.
Under “Account” then “Account Settings” and generate
API keys
Create an
API key, copy this key as you'll need to enter it into the eventplus dashboard.
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.
eventplus provides the option add emails to the list(s) for the following scenarios:
Participant visits the event registration form and enters their email;
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.
Navigate to Setup > Integrations > Campaign Monitor
Enter your Campaign Monitor
API key.

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).
