Integrating Robly with OptiMonk lets you gather leads with your popups and reach them with Robly's email marketing tools — so the subscribers who signed up via OptiMonk also get your promotions and news.


Where this is set up. Robly is not offered in the new campaign builder's provider list, so the account connection — and Robly's own options such as the verification email, the welcome email and the autoresponder — live in the classic admin. Once the account is connected there, the connection is also available to campaigns you build here, under Your connected accounts.

Before you start: you need a campaign whose popup is already built (the field mapping is read from the input fields of your popup) and Robly API credentials.


Step 1 — Request your API key and API ID

IMPORTANT: to integrate Robly with OptiMonk you need an API key and an API ID. These are not self-service: you must contact support@robly.com to request them. Once you have both, continue below.


Step 2 — Connect Robly in the classic admin

  1. In OptiMonk, click your name at the bottom of the left-hand menu and choose Go to classic admin. You are signed in there with the same account.

  2. Open the campaign you want to use and go to its Integrations section.

  3. Select Robly from the list that appears.

  4. Copy and paste the API key and the API ID into their fields, then click Test connection to check that the credentials work.

  5. Choose the list in Robly your subscribers should be added to. You can also pick the field in your Robly list where the source is stored, and switch on Verification email, Welcome email and Autoresponder for the leads coming from OptiMonk.

  6. Scroll to the top of the campaign settings page and click Save and Edit to save your settings.

These three switches have no equivalent in the new campaign builder, so if you want to change them later, come back to the classic admin.


Step 3 — Use the connection on a campaign built in the new app

The credentials belong to your OptiMonk account, not to one campaign, so you can attach the connection to campaigns you build here:

  1. Open Campaigns in the left menu and click your campaign.

  2. Open the Integrations tab and click Add integration.

  3. In the Provider step, look under Your connected accounts — your Robly connection is listed there. Click it. (Robly is not in the provider grid below; that grid only holds providers you can connect from here.)

  4. List step: pick the Robly list new signups should join, then click Continue.

  5. Field mapping step: decide where each popup field goes (see below) and click Save integration.


Draft vs. live: if the campaign has not been published yet, the integration shows 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.


Field mapping

The mapping table has two columns: Popup field on the left (every input your popup collects) and Robly field on the right. OptiMonk pre-fills the mapping with its own suggestions.

  • The email field is fixed.

  • 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 — for example a source label. Click Add static field, type the value on the left, and choose the Robly field on the right.

To forward a piece of data that isn't on the left, the popup has to collect it first: ask the agent in the design chat to add the field, let the popup rebuild, then reopen Integrations → Edit mapping.


Check that leads actually arrive

Open Leads in the left menu. Every submission has a Sync status column: Synced means the contact reached Robly, Integration issue means the forwarding failed. Click the row for the reason (Incorrect API key, Invalid list, Field mapping issue, Account issue…) and press Retry once you fixed the settings.


That's it! Now, whenever a visitor signs up through the campaign you configured, they are automatically added to your list at Robly.
