Rapidmail

Tasks supported
Subscribe to List
Adds the form submitter as a subscriber on the chosen Rapidmail recipient list. Re-submissions update the existing subscriber rather than creating duplicates.
Conditional logic example
Subscribe to your “DE customers” Rapidmail list only when the form’s language field equals “DE”. Other languages go to language-specific lists via separate integrations.
Troubleshooting
Integration doesn’t fire
Open AFI → Log and find the most recent entry. The log shows the request payload sent to Rapidmail and the response received, usually pointing straight at the cause.
“Authentication failed”
Rapidmail’s API credentials are separate from your dashboard login. Make sure you’re using the API user’s username/password generated under Profile → API, not your account login.
