Moosend¶
The Moosend modules enable you to monitor events or subscribers and create, update, retrieve, unsubscribe, or remove subscribers in your Moosend account.
Getting Started with Moosend¶
Prerequisites
- A Moosend account
In order to use Moosend with Ibexa Connect, it is necessary to have a Moosend account. If you do not have one, you can create a Moosend account on Moosend.
Note
The module dialog fields that are displayed in bold (in the Ibexa Connect scenario, not in this documentation article) are mandatory!
Connecting Moosend to Ibexa Connect¶
To connect your Moosend account to Ibexa Connect you need to obtain an API Key from your account.
-
Log in to your Moosend account.
-
Click on the cog-wheel in the top-right corner and select the API Key option.
-
Click the Copy API Key button to copy the API key to your clipboard.
-
Go to Ibexa Connect and open the Moosend module's Create a connection dialog.
-
Enter the API Key you have copied in step 3 to the respective field and click the Continue button to establish the connection.
Triggers¶
Watch Events¶
Triggers when your Moosend automation sends data to the webhook URL.
Webhook Name | Enter the name of the webhook. E.g. Subscriber added to the list |
Registering a Webhook in your Moosend Automation¶
To trigger the Watch Events module, it is necessary to add the target address to the desired Moosend automation.
In our example, the Watch Events webhook is triggered when a new subscriber is added to the list. To set this up, you need to:
-
Add the Watch Events trigger to your Ibexa Connect scenario, which listens for incoming webhook data.
-
Create a Moosend automation and add the webhook action to the automation.
Adding the Watch Events Trigger to the Scenario¶
To trigger the Watch Events module, you need the address that receives Moosend webhooks.
-
Add the Moosend > Watch Events module to your scenario.
-
Specify the webhook name and set up the connection.
-
Copy the provided address to your clipboard.
Creating the Automation That Triggers the Watch Events Module¶
-
Log in to your Moosend account.
-
Go to Automations from the menu on the left.
-
Click on the Create new automation button.
-
Click on the Create a custom automation button.
-
Click on the Select your trigger box and select the event that triggers the automation, e.g. When someone subscribes to any list. Set the trigger and save the settings.
-
Click on the plus icon to add the next step to the automation.
-
Open the Actions tab and select the Then post a webhook action.
-
Paste the address copied in step 3 in the Adding the Watch Events Trigger to the Scenario section to the Webhook URL field and click the Save button.
-
Activate the created automation.
Now, when the subscriber is added to the list, the Watch Events module in your Ibexa Connect scenario is triggered.
Note
It may take a while to receive the data in the Ibexa Connect scenario. This is not caused by Ibexa Connect, but by the 3rd party (Moosend) servers.
