[3.0] bucket - Zapier - MailerLite

This article provides instructions to pull data out of bucket.io and push it to a Group inside MailerLite
IMPORTANT:
  1. Zapier can only add leads to ONE single MailerLite Group, so if you have more than one bucket, you will not be able to subscribe to multiple groups
  2. Although every lead would is added to a single group, each lead would come with a Custom field that represents their bucket name
  3. The data in the custom field will serve to trigger automations that are unique to the value inside the field

Step #1: Inside MailerLite

Prepare the space where all leads are going to land, to do this, you’ll need to create a Group and a Custom field (the custom field is to bring the bucket name along with their email)

  1. Create a Group: This group is to place all leads coming from your quiz in bucket.io 
Here are some instructions from MailerLite’s help center on how to create this
  1. Create a Custom Field: This custom field is used to put the bucket name of each lead that comes in
Here are some instructions from MailerLite’s help center on how to create this 
  1. Create automations: when setting up the automation, make sure the trigger is set to Updated Field
    1. Important: this Automation should be used to trigger the email report for each person, here some suggestions:
      1. it is important that custom fields contain the exact bucket name
      2. You will need one automation for each bucket, so that each one can trigger based on a specific bucket name

Here are some instructions from MailerLite’s help center on how to create this

Step #2: Create a two steps zap

The zap will consist of two steps, one to pull data out of bucket.io and the second one to send data to MailerLite
