This beginner-friendly, step-by-step tutorial is designed to help you set up your first automation with ease—enabling you to grow your subscriber base, streamline communication, and manage contacts directly from your WordPress site.

Authorization of EmailOctopus Integrations as Action

To set EmailOctopus as an action in Bit Flows, first open your Bit Flows Dashboard, then either create a new flow or open an existing one. In the Flow Builder, click the plus (+) icon to add an action. From the list of available apps, search for and select EmailOctopus.

After selecting your preferred action, the next step is to choose an event. For example, in this case, we’ve selected the “Add Contact” event.

After selecting the action event, a new popup will appear. Here, you need to connect your EmailOctopus account. If you’ve already connected EmailOctopus before and want to use the same account, simply select it from the “Select Connection” dropdown. If not, click on “Add Connection” to create a new one.

When you click the Add Connection button, you’ll be prompted to enter a name for your connection and supply your API Key as value.

To set up EmailOctopus integrations with Bit Flows, you’ll need EmailOctopus API Token. Follow these steps to get it.

• Log in to your EmailOctopus dashboard.
• Click on your Profile icon at the top-right corner.
• Select Integrations and API from the dropdown.
• Under Developer tools, find the API section and click Manage.
• Click on Add key.
• Give your API key a name for reference and click Create.
• Your API key will now be displayed—copy it.
• Go back to Bit Flows, and paste the copied API key into the Value field to complete the connection.

Once you have successfully entered your EmailOctopus API Key, click “Connect” button to proceed.

List: Select a List from the drop-down option. If you don’t see any lists, click the Refresh button.

Field Mapping: Here, you’ll see a “Map Fields” section where you need to map your form fields to the matching fields in EmailOctopus. The “Email Address” field is required by EmailOctopus, so make sure to map your form’s Email Address field to it. You can also click the “Add Item” button to map additional fields. Additionally, you can enhance your request logic using Flow, Math, String, and System functions.

Tags: You can add the tags for the contact. In addition, you can add multiple tags from the Drop-Down list.

Status: You can also define the contact’s status—such as subscribed, unsubscribed, or pending—based on how you want them added to your list.

Override Existing: If the user already exists on your EmailOctopus account, It will update the contacts with other field information based on the email address.

Once you’ve finished these settings, you can either click the “Test Run” button to check if the integration is working correctly or simply close the popup to complete the setup.

You also have the option to test the full flow. You can either click “Listen Response” and then run the trigger event (e.g., submit the form), or use existing data to test the integration and make sure everything works correctly.

After completing all the steps, click the “Logs” icon at the top-right corner of the Flow Builder to view your integration logs. Logs help you verify if the trigger and action worked correctly and make it easier to spot and fix any issues.

That’s it! You’ve successfully set up an automation in Bit Flows to connect Bit Form with EmailOctopus. Now, whenever someone submits your form, a new subscriber will be automatically added to your EmailOctopus contact list.
