Send countdown subscribers to Acelle Mail
When a visitor submits the countdown form, their data is sent automatically to a list you choose in Acelle Mail. The subscriber is also saved on the Subscribers page as usual.
When to use this article
- You use Acelle Mail for your email campaigns and want your countdown subscribers to reach it.
Before you start
- You have an Acelle Mail account with at least one list.
- Have the API endpoint and API token from your Acelle Mail account settings ready.
- Countdown Timer is available on Salla only for now.
- Use a countdown template with an email field. See Collect emails with Countdown Timer.
Steps
- Open the countdown settings page. See Open the countdown display settings.
- Open the Integrations tab, then open the Service integrations section.
- Under "When a form in this popup is submitted, send the data to:", choose Acellemail.
- In API Endpoint, paste your account's endpoint, such as
https://acelle.example.com/api/v1. - In API token, paste the token. Your lists load, and "Connected success" appears.
- In Mailing list, choose the list. Under it, Valid fields from your list appears with the field names.
- Click Save. "Updated successfully" appears.
What is sent to Acelle Mail?
- The email address, always. Without a valid email, nothing is sent.
- Other fields are sent only if the field name in the countdown matches a field name in Valid fields from your list. This is what the notice under the form says: "Match the field names in the popup with the fields you have."
- If the service rejects a subscriber, for example someone who is already on the list, you see no message and the system does not retry. The subscriber stays saved on the Subscribers page.
- To stop the integration, choose None, then click Save.
Check that it works
- Open your store in a private browsing window and submit the form with an email you own.
- Open your list in Acelle Mail a few minutes later and check that the email arrived.
- After you refresh the settings page, the Acellemail card stays selected and your details are saved.
