Connect MailerLite with Framer Forms

Capture leads from your Framer forms and automatically add them to your MailerLite subscriber list using the Forms Plugin.

​
Step 1 - Get Your MailerLite API Key

Before connecting MailerLite to your form, generate an API key from your MailerLite account. This API key allows the Forms Plugin to securely send form submissions to your MailerLite subscriber list.

  1. Login to your MailerLite account
  2. Navigate to Integrations → API
  3. Click Generate new token
  4. Copy the generated API key
Keep your API key in a secure password manager. Never share it publicly or commit it to a code repository.

​
Step 2 - Insert MailerLite Component Into Your Form

Select your form in the Framer canvas and insert the MailerLite component. The component connects your form to MailerLite and automatically detects the form fields in your form layout.

Step 3 - Configure MailerLite API Settings

After inserting the MailerLite component, configure the API settings in the component properties panel.

  1. Select the MailerLite Integration component in your form
  2. Open the properties panel on the right side
  3. Paste your MailerLite API Key
  4. Enter your Audience ID (List ID)

​
Required Fields

  • API Key - Paste the API key generated from your MailerLite account.
  • Audience ID - Enter the MailerLite Audience ID (also called List ID) where new subscribers should be added.

​
Step 4 - Send Submissions to a Specific Group (Optional)

By default, new subscribers are added to your main MailerLite audience. If you want submissions to also be added to a specific group (for example, a “Framer” group for leads coming in from your site), add the group’s ID to the component.

​
Create a Group in MailerLite

  1. Log in to MailerLite and go to Subscribers → Groups
  2. Click Create group in the top-right corner
  3. Name the group (e.g., Framer) and save
MailerLite Groups page with the Create group button in the top right

​
Find the Group ID from the URL

  1. In the Groups list, click View group on the group you want to use
  2. Look at your browser’s address bar - the group ID appears at the end of the URL after &group=
Example URL: 
https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/subscribers?rules=...&group=1852561492115185126
In this example, the group ID is 1852561492115185126.

Copy only the number after &group= - don’t include the ? or any other part of the URL. Group IDs are long numeric strings.

​
Add the Group ID to the Component

  1. Select the MailerLite Integration component in your form
  2. Open the properties panel on the right side
  3. Paste the group ID into the Group ID field
  4. Save the configuration

Once configured, every new form submission will be added to both your MailerLite audience and this specific group - so you can segment leads coming in from your Framer site separately.
Leave the Group ID field empty if you only want subscribers added to the main audience without any group assignment.

​
Step 5 - Configure Field Mapping

Map your form fields to MailerLite subscriber attributes. The component automatically detects your form field names. You simply connect each field to the correct MailerLite attribute.

emailEMAIL
firstnameFNAME
lastnameLNAME

​
Step 6 - Result

When a user submits the form, their details will automatically be added to your MailerLite subscriber list - and, if a Group ID was configured, to that specific group as well. You can verify new subscribers in your MailerLite Subscribers dashboard.
