How to integrate Webflow with Mailjet

Integrating Webflow with Mailjet is typically done through an API or using third-party automation tools like Zapier or Make. Here’s a guide on how to achieve this integration effectively:

1. Integration via Zapier (No Code)

• Step 1: Sign up or log in to Zapier.
• Step 2: Create a new Zap and choose Webflow as the trigger app. Set up the trigger to activate on new form submissions.
• Step 3: Select Mailjet as the action app. You’ll need to connect your Mailjet account using an API key and secret, which you can generate in the Mailjet dashboard.
• Step 4: Configure the action in Mailjet to add the form submission details (such as name, email, etc.) to a contact list or trigger a specific email template.
• Step 5: Test the Zap to ensure everything works correctly. Once successful, turn on the Zap to start automating!

2. Integration via Make (Advanced Automation)

• Step 1: Log in to Make and create a new scenario.
• Step 2: Choose Webflow as the first module and set it up to trigger on a new form submission. You’ll need to connect Make to your Webflow account.
• Step 3: Add a Mailjet module to send an email, add a contact, or update a contact list. Connect Mailjet with your API key and secret.
• Step 4: Map the fields from Webflow’s form submission to the Mailjet action (e.g., form name to email name).
• Step 5: Test and schedule the scenario to run on your desired schedule or in real-time.

3. Custom API Integration (Developer-Friendly)

• Step 1: In Mailjet, create an API key and secret by going to Account Settings > API keys.
• Step 2: In Webflow, add custom code in the form’s settings or use a serverless function to handle form submissions.
• Step 3: Use Webflow’s form submission webhook or JavaScript to send form data to a server or serverless function (like on AWS Lambda or Google Cloud Functions).
• Step 4: Write a function in the serverless environment to make an API call to Mailjet’s endpoint to add a contact, update a contact list, or send an email.
• Step 5: Deploy the serverless function and update Webflow to send data to this function on form submissions.

4. Mailjet Widget in Webflow

• You can embed Mailjet’s subscription widget directly on Webflow pages to capture emails for newsletter subscriptions without needing custom integrations. Just copy the widget code from Mailjet and add it to an HTML embed block on your Webflow page.

Tips for Successful Integration

• Test all form submissions to ensure data flows smoothly.
• Use Mailjet’s template features to personalize automated emails that fit your branding.
• Keep your API keys secure and rotate them periodically for security.

Each method varies in complexity, so choose the one that best matches your technical comfort level and needs.
