Mailmojo Zapier integrationAutomate Mailmojo with Zapier.

The Mailmojo Zapier integration gives you 2 triggers, 5 actions and 0 searches. Both triggers are instant, so a new subscriber or an unsubscribe reaches your other tools as soon as Mailmojo records it, and that holds even on the free plan.

Overview

What the Mailmojo Zapier integration does for your list

Mailmojo is a newsletter tool from Norway, aimed at small businesses. Plugging it into Zapier means building a Zap: an automation with one starting event, called a trigger, and one or more actions that run each time that event happens. The Mailmojo side can either start the Zap or receive what another app sends.

A list that fills itself. Point a form or any other app at Create or Update Subscriber and every new contact lands on the right Mailmojo list. If the address is already there, the record gets updated instead of duplicated, which keeps your list clean.

A clean exit everywhere. New Unsubscribe fires when someone leaves a list. Feed that into a spreadsheet or a contact tool and the person stops being treated as a subscriber in the places Mailmojo cannot reach. The reverse works too: Unsubscribe Email takes someone off a Mailmojo list when another tool says so.

Drafts that are waiting for you. Create a Newsletter Draft opens a draft with its list and subject already set, and Update a Newsletter Draft changes it later. You still open Mailmojo to polish the content, or you let Send a Newsletter push it out once it is ready.

What Zapier does not do here. There is no search step, so a Zap cannot look up an existing subscriber or newsletter first. Only two events can start a Zap: a new subscriber and an unsubscribe. Nothing fires when a newsletter goes out or gets opened. If you are weighing other tools for this job, see n8n vs Zapier and Make vs Zapier.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary, in plain words

Seven words come back on every Zapier screen. Here they are once, so the rest of the page reads easily.

Zap
The automation you build: one event that starts it, then the steps it carries out every single time that event happens.
Trigger
The event that starts the Zap, such as a new Mailmojo subscriber. Once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for that event.
Action
What the Zap does after it starts: the step that writes, sends or updates something for you in an app.
Task
The unit Zapier bills. One task is one action that completed successfully, and your plan counts those.
Polling vs instant
A polling trigger is checked by Zapier on a timer. An instant trigger is reported by the app itself as it happens. Both Mailmojo triggers are instant.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap continue only when the incoming data meets a condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
Connection
Your Mailmojo account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every step of every Zap that touches Mailmojo.
Cost

What a Mailmojo Zap really costs

Mailmojo is not a premium app, so it works on the free plan. The trigger never costs anything: a new subscriber arriving is free.

  • Premium appNo, available on Free
  • Tasks on Free100 per month
  • Cost of a trigger0 tasks
  • Steps on Free2 (one trigger, one action)

Each action that goes through counts as one task, and a failed one is not counted. A Zap with three actions uses three tasks per run. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and Zaps of two steps only: one trigger, one action. Add a filter or a second action and the Zap becomes multi-step, which needs a paid plan. The interval grid below is how often Zapier checks a polling trigger on each plan; it does not apply to the two Mailmojo triggers, which are instant.

Connect

Connect your Mailmojo account

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. A dialog opens with a search box: type Mailmojo and pick it from the results that appear.

  2. 02

    Start the connection

    Click Add connection. A new tab opens on Mailmojo. You need a Mailmojo account, plus access to any list you do not own yourself but want the Zap to touch.

  3. 03

    Sign in and allow access

    Sign in to Mailmojo in that tab, then grant Zapier access to the account. The connection now shows on your Apps page, and every Mailmojo step can reuse it.

First Zap

Your first Zap: log every new subscriber

GoalEach person who joins a Mailmojo list gets a row in a spreadsheet, so you can follow sign-ups outside Mailmojo.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap

    Start a new Zap and pick Mailmojo as the app that starts it. Choose New Subscriber as the event, then select your Mailmojo connection.

  2. 02

    Pick the list

    Set the List field to the list you want to watch. Only sign-ups on that list will start this Zap, so pick the one your forms feed.

  3. 03

    Test the trigger

    Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent subscribers of that list, so you can map fields on a real person rather than a blank sample.

  4. 04

    Add a filter if needed

    Add a Filter step from the plus icon and set it in three boxes: the field, the rule, the value. Only matching subscribers go on. A filter makes the Zap multi-step, so it needs a paid plan.

  5. 05

    Add the spreadsheet action

    Add your spreadsheet app as the action and choose the step that adds a row. Map the subscriber's email and any other details into the columns you want.

  6. 06

    Test, then publish

    Test the action once and check the new row. When it looks right, click Publish: the Zap is now on and reacts to each new subscriber.

Triggers

Mailmojo triggers

2 events start a Zap when something happens in Mailmojo, and 2 of them are instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.

1

New Subscriber

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new subscriber is added to a list.”

Starts your Zap whenever someone is added to the Mailmojo list you choose, and hands the next steps that person's details. It is the natural starting point for anything that should follow a sign-up, from a welcome task in another tool to a line in a tracking sheet.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
you want your other tools to know about a new subscriber without exporting the list by hand.
Watch out
the List field is required, so one Zap watches one list; a second list needs a second Zap.
2

New Unsubscribe

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a contact unsubscribes from a list.”

Fires when a contact leaves one of your Mailmojo lists, and passes their address to the steps that follow. This is how the rest of your setup learns that someone no longer wants your emails, so a spreadsheet, a contact tool or a team channel can reflect it.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
another tool also emails these people and must stop doing so once they opt out of Mailmojo.
Watch out
it watches a single list, picked in the required List field, so plan one Zap per list you care about.
Actions

Mailmojo actions

Mailmojo gives you 5 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

1

Create or Update Subscriber

Action

In Zapier“Creates a new subscriber or updates one if it already exists.”

Adds an email address to a Mailmojo list, or updates the subscriber if that address is already on it. Duplicates never pile up.

When to use it
a form elsewhere should feed your newsletter list directly.
Watch out
List and Email Address are both required; a run with an empty email cannot go through.
2

Create a Newsletter Draft

Action

In Zapier“Creates a Newsletter draft.”

Opens a new newsletter draft in Mailmojo, already tied to a list and carrying a subject line, so you start from a prepared shell.

When to use it
an idea logged in another app should become a draft you can finish in Mailmojo.
Watch out
List and Subject are required, so the step needs something to put in the subject.
3

Send a Newsletter

Action

In Zapier“Sends a Newsletter.”

Sends a newsletter from your Mailmojo account, picked by its newsletter ID. This is the one action that reaches your subscribers' inboxes.

When to use it
the content is final and an event in another tool should be the signal to send.
Watch out
once the step runs the email is out, so test it on a draft aimed at a small internal list.
4

Unsubscribe Email

Action

In Zapier“Unsubscribes an email address from a list.”

Takes an email address off a Mailmojo list, so that person stops receiving what you send to it.

When to use it
someone opted out somewhere else and Mailmojo should respect it too.
Watch out
List and Email Address are required; the person stays on any other list you did not name.
5

Update a Newsletter Draft

Action

In Zapier“Updates a Newsletter Draft.”

Changes a draft that already exists in Mailmojo, identified by its newsletter ID, instead of creating a new one.

When to use it
a draft made by an earlier step needs more content or a corrected detail.
Watch out
the Newsletter ID is required, and no step of this app can look one up, so an earlier step must carry it.
When it breaks

When a Mailmojo Zap breaks

Zapier publishes no help article for Mailmojo and no app-specific limit. What goes wrong comes from how Zaps behave in general.

Four cases cover most surprises. When a Zap stops for a reason you cannot spot, Zapier troubleshooting is the place to start.

  • Old subscribers are not picked up

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after you switch it on. Everyone already on the list stays where they were; moving that backlog is a separate job.

  • A Zap that feeds itself

    New Subscriber on a list plus Create or Update Subscriber on that same list makes the Zap fire again and again, burning through tasks.

  • A bulk import held back

    Import many contacts at once and the trigger returns a huge batch. Zapier's flood protection can hold it back rather than run every item.

  • The wrong newsletter goes out

    Send a Newsletter needs a Newsletter ID, and no step of this app can look one up. Map the wrong ID and a different newsletter is sent, so test the Zap on a draft first.

FAQ

Mailmojo Zapier integration: frequent questions

01Is the Mailmojo Zapier integration free?
Yes, it works on the free plan because Mailmojo is not a premium app. The free plan gives you 100 tasks a month and Zaps of two steps, meaning one trigger and one action. That is enough for something like a new subscriber copied into a spreadsheet. As soon as you add a filter or a second action, the Zap becomes multi-step and needs a paid plan. Pricing changes often, so this page does not quote any amount; check the plans page on zapier.com before deciding.
02How many tasks does a Mailmojo Zap use?
One task per action that completes, and nothing for the trigger. A Zap that adds each new subscriber to a spreadsheet uses one task per subscriber. A Zap with three actions uses three tasks each time it runs. An action that fails is not counted against your plan. Watching for new subscribers or unsubscribes costs nothing either, however many events there are. So the real driver of cost is how many people join or leave your lists, multiplied by the number of actions in the Zap.
03Do Mailmojo triggers run in real time?
Yes. Both Mailmojo triggers, New Subscriber and New Unsubscribe, are instant: Mailmojo tells Zapier as soon as the event happens and the Zap starts right away. The plan interval grid, which sets how often Zapier checks polling triggers, does not apply to them. This is good news on the free plan, where polling triggers are only checked every 15 minutes. In the editor, a Zap built on an instant trigger shows a lightning bolt, which is a quick way to confirm it.
04What does it take to connect Mailmojo to Zapier?
A Mailmojo account, and access to any list you do not own but want the Zap to touch. From the Apps page in Zapier you click + Add connection, search for Mailmojo, then sign in to Mailmojo in the tab that opens and grant access. Before building anything, make sure your lists already exist in Mailmojo: both triggers and most actions require a List, and an empty account leaves that dropdown with nothing to choose.
05Why can't a Zap update a newsletter it did not create?
Because Update a Newsletter Draft and Send a Newsletter both require the newsletter ID, and this app has no search step to look it up. In practice an earlier step of the same Zap has to carry that ID into the field. If your draft was created by hand in Mailmojo and nothing upstream holds its ID, the Zap has no way to find it on its own. Check what the earlier step hands over before you build the rest of the Zap on it.
06What if the Mailmojo action you need is not listed?
Then Zapier simply does not offer it today: the editor shows exactly the 2 triggers and 5 actions on this page and nothing else. There is no step to delete a subscriber, read campaign statistics or find an existing contact. Two options remain. You can handle that part in Mailmojo itself, or build the Zap around the operations that are there. For help scoping a workaround with the steps that do exist, a training session or an outside team can map it out with you.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Mailmojo?
Decide on criteria rather than a ranking. First, check that the tool has a ready-made Mailmojo connector; on Zapier it exists, with the operations on this page. Second, look at how each tool counts usage, since Zapier bills each successful action as a task. Third, think about who maintains the automation once it runs and which tool your team already knows. Fourth, check whether the triggers you need are instant there too, which matters most on a free plan.
