Quick summary
This demo walks you through setting up a Zapier automation that connects PayPal to MailerLite, so every new payment automatically creates or updates an email subscriber. Once published, the Zap runs in the background — no manual data entry required.
Steps
- Log in to Zapier and click Create then Zaps to set up your automation workflow.
- Click Trigger to define the event that will kick off your integration.
- Search for PayPal in the app selector and click to choose it as your trigger app.
- Select a trigger event (such as a payment sale) to specify what action starts the Zap.
- Connect your PayPal account and specify which payment types you want to track.
- Add MailerLite as the Action App to handle your email marketing needs.
- Select Create/Update Subscriber as your action event in MailerLite.
- Connect your MailerLite account to give Zapier permission to manage subscribers.
- Map PayPal customer data (like name and email) to your MailerLite subscriber fields.
- Run a test to make sure your PayPal to MailerLite connection works properly.
- Click Publish to activate your Zap and start automatically adding PayPal customers to MailerLite.
