The GetResponse integration with OptiMonk adds subscribers to your GetResponse list when they fill out an OptiMonk popup form. It comes in handy if you run marketing campaigns regularly: everyone who signs up through a popup also gets the news about your upcoming promotions.

Before you start: you need a GetResponse account, and an OptiMonk campaign whose popup is already built — the field mapping is read from the input fields of your popup.

Connect GetResponse to your campaign

  1. Open Campaigns in the left menu and click the campaign you want to connect with GetResponse.

  2. Open the Integrations tab of the campaign.

  3. Click Add integration. If this is your first one, the same step is offered as Connect your email or SMS tool.

  4. Provider step: pick GetResponse from the provider list. It sits under All providers — type get into the Search providers… box to jump to it. Accounts you have already connected are listed at the top, under Your connected accounts.

  5. Account step: choose a GetResponse account you have already connected, or click Connect a new account and fill in the credential form:

    • API key — see the next section for how to get it. The form also shows the hint Account Details -> API & OAuth: You can obtain the key from the My GetResponse API key section.

    • Name (optional) — a name for this connection, so you recognise it later (for example GetResponse – main account).

    Click Connect. OptiMonk checks the key right away; if it is wrong you get Connection failed — check the credentials.

  6. Settings step: pick your list under Campaign (list), then click Continue. GetResponse calls its lists campaigns, which is why the selector is named like that — it has nothing to do with your OptiMonk campaign.

  7. Field mapping step: decide where each popup field goes in GetResponse, then click Save integration.

That's it. Whenever a visitor signs up through your popup, they are added to the GetResponse list you picked.


Draft vs. live: if the campaign has not been published yet, the integration is shown with a Draft pill and the note Saved as draft — it goes live when you publish the campaign. On a published campaign it is applied right away and shows as Active.

How to get your GetResponse API key

  1. Log in to your GetResponse account, click the menu icon in the top left, and select Integrations and API.

  2. Select the API menu and click Generate API key.

  3. Give the key a name that helps you identify it, then click Generate.

  4. Copy the generated key and paste it into the API key field in OptiMonk, then click Connect.

Field mapping

The mapping table has two columns: Popup field on the left (every input your popup collects) and GetResponse field on the right. OptiMonk pre-fills the mapping with its own suggestions, so in most cases you only need to check it.

  • The email field is fixed — it always maps to GetResponse's email.

  • Pick Don't sync for any popup field you don't want to send.

  • Under Static fields you can send a fixed value with every submission — click Add static field, type the value on the left (for example OptiMonk Summer Campaign) and choose the GetResponse field on the right. This is the easiest way to tell later where a subscriber came from.

Change or remove the integration

The Integrations tab lists every integration on the campaign, with the provider name and the list you chose.

  • Change list reopens the wizard, so you can pick another GetResponse list or edit the mapping.

  • The trash icon takes the integration off this campaign: Remove from this campaign? The account connection stays and can be added again. Your API key is not deleted, so you can reuse the connection on another campaign.
