How to Connect MailerLite as Data Destination
The integration will allow you to add subscribers or delete contacts to MailerLite based on data from other systems. For example, you can add subscribers based on data from your website, landing page, or Google Sheets. This will allow you to efficiently automate your workflows and save a lot of time by eliminating the need to manually add or remove each subscriber/contact.
Let's go through the entire MailerLite setup steps together!

2. How to connect MailerLite account to ApiX-Drive?
3. How to setup data transfer in MailerLite in the selected action?
4. An example of the data that will be sent to your MailerLite.
5. Auto-update and update interval.
To do this, click "Start Configuring Data Destination".
Select the system as Data Destination. In this case, MailerLite must be specified.
Next, you need to specify an action, for example, "Add SUBSCRIBER".
- Add SUBSCRIBER - selected subscribers will be added to your MailerLite account.
- Delete CONTACT - selected contacs will be delete in your MailerLite account.
The next step is to select the MailerLite account to which the data will be sent.
If there are no accounts connected to the ApiX-Drive system, click "Connect account".
In the window that opens, you must fill in the "API key" field.
To do this, go to your MailerLite personal account.
Go to the Integrations section, then to the API tab. Click Use and generate a new token.
After that, copy and paste the API key into the corresponding field in the ApiX-Drive system.
When the connected account is displayed in the "active accounts" list, select it for further work.
Now you need to specify the MailerLite subscriber group to which the data from the source will be transferred.
Also, you must specify the source field from which Apix-Drive will get the recipient's E-mail, his name and other parameters.
Note that you can pass not only variables from the source, but also combine them with system data such as date, time, month, year, and day, if necessary.
You now see the test data that will be send to MailerLite.
Click "Send test data to MailerLite" and go to the MailerLite cabinet in the appropriate group to test the connection.
If something does not suit you - click "Edit" and go back one step.
If everything suits you, click "Next" to continue the setup.
This completes the Data Destination system setup!
Now you can start choosing the update interval and enabling auto-update.
To do this, click "Enable update".
On the main screen, click on the gear icon to select the required update interval or setup scheduled launch. To start the connection by time, select scheduled start and specify the desired time for the connection update will be started, or add several options at once when you need the connection will be started.
Attention! In order for the Scheduled Run to work at the specified time, the interval between the current time and the specified time must be more than 5 minutes. For example, you select the time 12:10 and the current time is 12:08 - in this case, the automatic update of the connection will occur at 12:10 the next day. If you select the time 12:20 and the current time is 12:13 - auto-update of the connection will work today and then every day at 12:20.
To make the current connection transmit data only after another connection, check the box "Update connection only after start other connection" and specify the connection after which the current connection will be started.
To enable auto-update, switch the slider to the position as shown in the picture.
To force the connection, click on the arrow icon.
This completes the setup MailerLite as Data Destination! See how easy it is!?
Now don't worry, ApiX-Drive will do everything on its own!
