Hello,
I'm making a form so visitors can subscribe to our newsletter directly from our website. I manage my mailinglists and email campaigns from a site called Mailjet, and they delivered a widget so I can do this, but now I want to combine this widget to a chronoform, so people can save their personal info (name, structure etc) to my chronoform database and the inscription is done when they click on the submit button. Can anyone tell me how I would be able to link the two? This the code of the widget:

<iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://widget.mailjet.com/1f3ab9a2ceece403df742fa8d79138bb43553b28.html" width="250" height="138"></iframe>

Thank you in advance,
Tiko.

Hi Tiko,

If you look at the widget form you will see that it has these main features:
A submit URL: "https://fr.mailjet.com/account/tools/widget/subscribe/BW"
and three inputs with these names and values
email = user input
name = user input
send = Inscription (the submit button)

The first test to do is to build a ChronoForm just like this and see if it works OK. (You can set the Submit URL on the form General Tab.)

If that is OK then there are a couple of ways to make it work in a ChronoForms (a) use the cURL action with that Target URL and parameters or (b) create a 'dummy' form in a Thank You page action with a 'Confirm' button to submit it (or a JavaScript timed submit).

If you prefer to do the job 'properly' and don't mind a bit of coding then it looks as though MailJet has a full API that will let you do just about anything from your form.

Incredible, you really looked into my problem...! I'm stunned! I'm no big coder, but I'll take a look at all three solutions, starting with the last one... Never to young to learn🙂 . Thank you very much, and I'll let you know about my solution.

Hello, back again. I had some help from a friend, and now I have the api written and ready, but now I have to include it in the right place in the form. But where! I included a checkbox so people can choose if yes or no to inscribe, so this has also to be included... Any help?
Thank you in advance,
Tiko
