How to Connect SumoMe Email Opt-In form to the GetResponse Service

Okay, now that you have your Autoresponder (Time-based email sequence) all setup and ready to go. ...

---

NOTE:

The following steps require two things to enable this integration:

1. You have installed the SumoMe Plugin from here: Combo Sharing & Email Opt-in - SumoMe
2. You have used the previous steps in this training tutorial to setup a GetResponse Autoresponder

---

Let's connect your website email form to this service.

Step 1: Login to your website and into SumoMe

Remember... click the Crown!

Step 2: Click the SumoMe App Icon

From your SumoMe installed apps, select which app you are using and wish to connect to your autoresponder or newsletter.

You can connect it with several of the SumoMe apps. For this example, I'll use the Welcome Mat email app.

Step 3: Enable the App if not already

Within the App settings, first ensure the App is set to Active

Step 4: Select the Service Option and Click GetResponse

You will then be presented with the API (Application Program Interface) screen

Pause here

Step 5: Open another browser tab - Login to GetResponse

Step 6: Click your Settings and Select Integrations

The settings is just to the right of your photo in the upper right corner. You'll then see the following:

Select Integrations

Step 7: On the Integrations Screen, Switch to the API & Oauth menu option

Step 8: Click the Copy to Clipboard Button

Your Secret GetResponse API key will be revealed. Click the Copy to Clipboard button on the right:

This will copy the secret API key to your virtual clipboard.

Step 9: Return to SumoMe browser tab

Return to the other browser tab where you logged into SumoMe and paste into the awaiting API box:

Step 10: Connect

After you have copied and pasted the API key into the awaiting box, click Connect:

Step 11: Set Your Mailing List

Because you can have multiple different email lists within the respective email marketing services, you'll need to select which one to connect.

Now, if you're new to this and have registered with GetResponse just prior to this tutorial, you'll only have One mailing list (or campaign) so far. It will begin with your username.

(I believe this initial one is created from part of your email address)

Simply click the Mailing List pull-down and select your list as shown above.

Step 12: Save your Settings

YOU'RE DONE!!!

Now, I can't stress this enough. Use a free email account OR your primary and test it out. Go to your website, fill in the email opt-in form and ensure you receive BOTH the confirmation email AND the Welcome (or Day 0) email.

Now, if you completed all this. You'll notice the confirmation email is REALLY generic and could use some jazzing up. Also, you may wish to change what happens after someone confirms. So, for the last part of this tutorial, I'll introduce you to those features.
