Mailerlite Overview#

The Mailerlite API offers the ability to extend your email marketing efforts through programmatic access to your Mailerlite account. Use it on Pipedream to automate email campaigns, manage subscribers, analyze the results of your outreach, and integrate with your existing tech stack. By crafting workflows on Pipedream, you can connect Mailerlite to a vast array of services, triggering actions based on subscriber behavior, synchronizing data across platforms, or enriching subscriber profiles for targeted campaigns.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "mailerlite-subscriber-created",
  name: "New Subscriber Created (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when a new subscriber is created.",
  version: "0.0.2",
  type: "source",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    http: "$.interface.http",
    db: "$.service.db",
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getEvents() {
      return [
        "subscriber.created",
      ];
    },
    getDataToEmit({
      id,
      created_at: createdAt,
    }) {
      return {
        id,
        summary: `A new subscriber with Id: ${id} has been created!`,
        ts: new Date(createdAt),
      };
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Mailerlite	`mailerlite`	`app`	This component uses the Mailerlite app.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.

Trigger Authentication#

Mailerlite uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Mailerlite account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Mailerlite APIs in both code and no-code steps.
