Newsletter Connect Addon

Automated Donor Communication Made Simple

The Charitable Newsletter Connect extension links your donation forms directly to MailPoet. When a donor gives, they can opt in to your mailing list right from the donation form, and they’re added to MailPoet automatically.

No more exporting spreadsheets or manually copying emails into MailPoet. The connection handles subscriber management for you, so donor contact details arrive in your email list the moment someone donates.

Keep supporters in the loop with campaign updates, thank-you messages, and ongoing outreach – all powered by MailPoet and fueled by donation data flowing from Charitable.

Zero-Friction List Building

Donors Opt In Right on the Donation Form

When you connect Charitable to MailPoet via Newsletter Connect, a newsletter opt-in appears directly on your donation form. Donors tick a box and they’re added to your MailPoet list automatically.

There are no extra steps for the donor and no manual imports for you. The subscriber is created in MailPoet the moment the donation is completed.

You control the checkbox label so it matches your brand voice. Change it to anything that fits—”Keep me updated” or “Join our community” are both easy options.

Campaign-Level Control

Send Donors to the Right MailPoet List Every Time

When you run multiple campaigns in Charitable, each one can feed donors into a different MailPoet list. Open the Newsletter tab on any campaign and choose exactly which list that campaign’s donors should join.

You can also subscribe donors to multiple lists from a single campaign. Donors who give to your emergency relief campaign can join both your general list and your relief-specific list at the same time.

If a specific campaign should not have an opt-in at all, just tick the Disable Newsletter Signup option.

Charitable and MailPoet Integration –
Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a question about connecting MailPoet with Charitable? See the list below for our most frequently asked questions. If your question is not listed here, please contact us.

How does the Charitable + MailPoet integration work?

The integration works through the Charitable Newsletter Connect extension. When a donor completes a gift on one of your Charitable forms and opts in to your newsletter, their name and email address are added to the MailPoet list you have chosen for that campaign. Because MailPoet runs on WordPress alongside Charitable, no API key or external connection is needed. The two plugins communicate directly on your site, so the sync happens the moment the donation is processed.

Can I choose which email lists donors join?

Yes, you have complete control over list assignment. Set global rules that apply to all donations, or create conditional rules based on campaign, donation amount, or donor type.

How do I set up the integration between Charitable and MailerLite?

First, install and activate the Newsletter Connect extension from your WordPress dashboard. Then find your MailerLite API key in your MailerLite account settings and enter it in Charitable’s Settings » Marketing » MailerLite tab.

Are donors added to MailPoet automatically, or do I need to trigger it manually?

Donors are added automatically as soon as their donation is completed and they have opted in. There is no manual step, no scheduled batch, and no export required on your end. If you use automatic opt-in mode, donors are added to MailPoet as soon as the donation goes through – without them needing to tick a checkbox at all. If you use a checkbox mode, the subscriber is created in MailPoet the moment they complete the form with the box checked.

What happens if I want to disable the newsletter opt-in for one campaign?

You can disable the opt-in on any individual campaign without affecting the rest of your setup. Open the campaign editor, click the Newsletter tab, and tick the Disable Newsletter Signup option. That campaign’s donation form will no longer show an opt-in checkbox, and no subscribers will be sent to MailPoet from that campaign. All your other campaigns continue to work normally.
