How to Send WP Job Manager Data to Mailerlite

Mailerlite is a platform platform. WP Job Manager handles a job listing is submitted on your WordPress site. Mailerlite is where that data needs to go. Here is how to connect them without Zapier or code.

Why not just use Zapier?

For connecting WP Job Manager to platform, a cloud automation service adds cost and a dependency on an external server. AFI runs on your site with no task limits.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with WP Job Manager installed and configured.
• A Mailerlite account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Mailerlite to AFI

Mailerlite uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Mailerlite, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it WP Job Manager to Mailerlite.

2. Pick your trigger

Select WP Job Manager as the form provider. AFI fires when a job listing is submitted, giving you access to company name, job title, email, location, job type, and application URL.

3. Select Mailerlite as the destination

Choose Mailerlite from the platform dropdown and pick Add Record. This creates a record in Mailerlite.

4. Map fields

Match each Mailerlite field on the left to the corresponding WP Job Manager field on the right. Common mappings include company name, job title, email, location, job type, and application URL. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

Only want to send certain records? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Trigger a test event in WP Job Manager. Check Mailerlite to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.

Free vs Pro

The free version maps name and email to Mailerlite with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
