The problem it solves

Your email marketing plugin can't talk directly to your other tools, so new signups from your website often need to be added by hand. That means delays before new subscribers get your welcome emails, and no easy record of who signed up when.

Who it fits

WordPress site owners who run email newsletters through MailPoet.

How it works

  1. Someone submits a signup form on your WordPress website
  2. It checks whether that person is already on your list to avoid duplicates
  3. It adds the new subscriber directly to your MailPoet email list
  4. It logs the subscriber's details in a Google Sheet for your records
What you get

New subscribers added without missing a signup

You get every WordPress signup added straight to your MailPoet list automatically, with a backup copy kept in Google Sheets.

What you get

A new MailPoet subscriber added instantly, plus a running spreadsheet log of everyone who's signed up.

What you need

A WordPress website with the MailPoet plugin and a Google Workspace account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
