Campaign Monitor
Campaign Monitor is an email marketing platform popular with designers and agencies for its template-driven campaigns. Advanced Form Integration sends form submissions to Campaign Monitor as new subscribers in a chosen list.

Pro features
The Pro Campaign Monitor integration adds support for smart segments (auto-assign on subscribe based on field values) and richer custom field handling including multi-select dropdowns.
Conditional logic example
Add the subscriber to your “Premium customers” list only when the form’s customer_tier field equals “premium”. Free-tier signups go to the standard list.
Troubleshooting
“Invalid List ID”
Campaign Monitor List IDs are long alphanumeric strings, not the list name. AFI auto-loads them in the dropdown after you enter valid credentials.
Custom field naming
Campaign Monitor custom fields are matched by their Personalisation Tag (the bracketed name like [Company]), not the friendly label.
