Email tools
For Mailchimp, MailerLite, ActiveCampaign, Kit and Brevo you need neither OnBio keys nor Zapier. OnBio comes with a direct connection that sends your subscribed contacts, unsubscribes and tags to your tool. You only paste your tool's key in the panel.
Connect your tool
- 1. Click Email in the side menu and open Integrations.
- 2. Click Connect on the tool and paste the API key. In ActiveCampaign, also paste the API URL. In Kit, the list is one of your forms.
- 3. Choose the list under Destination list and click Use this list.
In Mailchimp you do not need a key. Click Connect, sign in to your account to authorise OnBio and choose the audience when you come back.
What is sent
OnBio sends the changes every 15 minutes. Each subscribed contact appears in your tool with their name. Tags arrive as tags in Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign and Kit, as groups in MailerLite and as lists in the OnBio folder in Brevo. Each unsubscribe in OnBio is reflected in the next cycle.
Sync goes only from OnBio to the tool. What you change there does not come back. You can only have one tool connected at a time.
Pause and disconnect
Click Pause to stop sending for a while and Resume to continue. The changes of those days are sent when resuming. When disconnecting, OnBio forgets the key and the contacts already in the tool stay there.
If it rejects the access
If you change the key in your tool or withdraw the authorisation, the connection appears as Reconnection needed and you get an email. Paste the new key with Save key or click Connect again. Email tool disconnected explains it.
