How to Connect OptinMonster with AWeber

OptinMonster offers seamless integration with AWeber email marketing service. Connecting OptinMonster to your AWeber email list is very easy.

In this article, you’ll learn how to connect AWeber with OptinMonster.

Before you start, as a best practice we recommend you also connect your campaigns to Monster Leads as a backup.

Connect AWeber

When you create a campaign in OptinMonster that you intend to collect leads with you’ll want to integrate with one or more services to send those leads to.

To send leads to AWeber, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Integrations view in the campaign builder, search for and select AWeber.
   
2. Next, select the Register AWeber button at the top of the integration section to begin authorization.
   
3. A new window will open requesting you login to your AWeber account. Enter your login details for AWeber and select the Allow Access button to authorize the connection between OptinMonster and your AWeber account.
   
4. On the next screen, copy the AWeber Authorization Code provided.
   
5. Return to the OptinMonster campaign builder, enter a AWeber Account Name (*internal use only) and paste the AWeber Authorization Code in the appropriate fields, then select the Connect to AWeber button.
   
   *The AWeber Account Name can be anything that helps you identify the specific integration within OptinMonster. It’s possible to add more than one AWeber integration to your account and this is an easy way to differentiate between them when assigning integrations to individual campaigns.
6. Required: Once the AWeber integration has been connected select the AWeber List you wish to send leads to from the Email Provider Lists field.
   
7. Optional: You can also specify Lead Tags to assign to leads and add an Ad Tracking Identifier.
   
8. When you’re finished, Save your campaign.

Add Extra Fields

Field Mapping

Get started using Field Mapping with AWeber.

Before you begin using Field Mapping with AWeber, please consider the following:

  • Phone (use the Phone field to send data to this custom field)
  • Coupon Code (the Coupon Code won when creating a Gamified spin-to-win campaign)
  • Coupon Label (the Coupon Label when creating a Gamified spin-to-win campaign)
• You can manage your custom fields in AWeber following this guide.

Form Embed Block

Alternatively, you can add any AWeber webform to your campaign using our Form Embed block.

Email Automations

To send emails automatically to new leads you’ll want to configure email automations within your AWeber account.

The following guides from AWeber may be helpful to get started:

• Email Automation 101
• How to Get Started With Email Automation
• How do I add automation to my campaign?
• Advanced Email Automation

Testing

We strongly recommend you test the optin form before publishing your campaign to ensure it is working as you expect.

Before you begin, please be aware of the following details when testing AWeber integrations:

• Previously submitted or already subscribed leads may be treated differently by AWeber than new leads. For this reason, we recommend using a completely unique email address each time you test submit your campaign’s form. You can use a free tool like TempMail.io or learn how to create unlimited unique email addresses from a single Gmail account.
• If the lead is captured in AWeber but you do not receive any automated emails it indicates the integration from OptinMonster to AWeber is correct, and the issue is with the automated email configuration. AWeber controls email automation exclusively. If you require assistance in troubleshooting email automations we recommend reaching out to AWeber support directly.

Get started testing with the Live Site Inspector tool.

Spin-a-Wheel Support

If you are configuring a Gamified spin-to-win campaign, spin-a-wheel support is not available at this time to send the coupon data to AWeber.
