What can the Mailercloud Make integration do for you?
The Mailercloud Make integration links your Mailercloud account to Make so another tool can write into your audience for you. Make runs a scenario, the automation you build as a chain of bricks, and the Mailercloud bricks add, update, tag or unsubscribe your contacts without anyone opening Mailercloud.
Every form signup lands in Mailercloud. When a lead fills a form in another app, Create / Update a Subscriber writes the person into Mailercloud. If that email already exists, the record is updated instead of duplicated, which keeps your audience tidy from day one.
Opt-outs from other tools are respected. A customer asks your support desk to stop the emails. Unsubscribe a Contact takes their email address and unsubscribes them in Mailercloud, so the request does not sit in someone's inbox.
A new campaign gets its own list and tag. Launching a webinar or a product line? Create a New List and Add a New Tag prepare the audience, then Add a Contact to a List fills it as registrations come in.
What Make does not do here: Mailercloud has no trigger in Make, so a Mailercloud event cannot start a scenario. The scenario starts from another app or from a schedule. For anything the 7 modules skip, Make an API Call reaches the rest of the Mailercloud API. New to the editor?

How do you connect Mailercloud to Make?
- 01
Copy your API key from Mailercloud
You need an active Mailercloud account. Log in, open the Settings section, click the API creation option and copy the API key shown on screen. Keep it at hand for the next step.
- 02
Add a Mailercloud module and create the connection
In Make, add any Mailercloud module to your scenario and click Create a connection. A connection is your Mailercloud account linked to Make once, then reused by every Mailercloud module. Naming it in Connection name is optional but helps later.
- 03
Paste the key and save
Paste the API key you copied, or follow the on-screen instructions, then save. From now on, when you fill a Mailercloud module, Make lists what it can read from your account, so you pick from a menu instead of typing.
Your first scenario with Mailercloud
GoalWhen someone signs up in another app, Make creates or updates that person as a Mailercloud subscriber.
- 01
Create the scenario
Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + in the middle. The first module is the one that starts the run: pick the app where your signups happen, such as your form tool.
- 02
Set up the starting module
Connect that app and fill its fields. Make lists what it can read once the connection exists, so choose the form or source that collects the email addresses you want in Mailercloud.
- 03
Add Create / Update a Subscriber
Click the + on the right of the first module, search Mailercloud and pick Create / Update a Subscriber. Click Create a connection and paste your API key if this is your first Mailercloud module.
- 04
Map the signup data
Fill the subscriber fields with data from the first module: drag the email and the other values it received. Each signup travels as a bundle, one item passed from a module to the next.
- 05
Test with Run once
Click Run once, then submit a test signup. Open the bubbles above each module to read the bundles they received, and check in Mailercloud that the subscriber appeared.
- 06
Schedule and switch it on
Set the schedule on the first module. A new scenario runs every 15 minutes by default, and 15 minutes is also the shortest interval on the Free plan. Switch the scenario on and it keeps working without you.
What each Mailercloud module does
Mailercloud gives you 7 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Add a Contact to a List
ActionIn Make“Adds a new contact to the selected Mailercloud list.”
Puts a new contact straight into the Mailercloud list you choose, so the right people receive the right campaign without a manual import.
Add a New Tag
ActionIn Make“Creates a New Tag in Mailercloud”
Creates a tag in Mailercloud from your scenario, which saves you from setting up labels by hand before a campaign starts and keeps naming consistent across the team.
Create a New List
ActionIn Make“Creates a new list in Mailercloud.”
Opens a fresh Mailercloud list from a scenario, giving each campaign, event or client its own audience instead of one crowded list.
Create / Update a Subscriber
ActionIn Make“Creates a new subscriber or updates an existing one if the email already exists.”
Gives you one clean record per person: it creates the subscriber, or updates the existing one when that email is already in Mailercloud. It is the safest default for syncing people from another tool.
Make an API Call
ActionIn Make“Performs an authorized API call.”
Covers whatever the six other modules skip: it sends a request to any endpoint of the Mailercloud API, reusing the connection you already created, so there is no second key to manage.
Unsubscribe a Contact
ActionIn Make“Unsubscribes a contact from Mailercloud using email.”
Stops Mailercloud emails for a person as soon as your scenario runs, using nothing more than their email address. Honoring opt-outs quickly protects your sender reputation and your customers' trust.
Update a Contact
ActionIn Make“Updates an existing contact in Mailercloud. The "Erase" function is not supported.”
Refreshes the details of a contact that already exists in Mailercloud, so your segments follow what changed in your other tools, without anyone retyping it.
