How To Setup A Zap For Interspire Email Marketer

By IEMADDONS.COM

Login to your Zapier Account and click “Make a Zap!”

Choose the origin service you will be using to send contacts to Interspire Email
Marketer:

For our example we will use MailChimp. You may find you have a reason to pipe
contacts from a contact list in MailChimp into Interspire.
Select Your Application Trigger. In our example we will trigger this zap everytime a
new subscriber is added to a contact list we designate in MailChimp.

Click Save + Continue


Connect your application to Zapier:
Configure your application options. In this case we are selecting which of the
contact lists in our MailChimp account we want to check for new subscribers.

Click Continue
You will then have an option to test this integration. By clicking “Fetch &
Continue” Zapier will attempt to contact your application and retrieve a
contact/subscriber/email address per the configuration you have setup in the
previous steps. If your test is successful you should see something like this:

Click Continue.
You Now will select an “ACTION” application. Choose the Zapier Webhooks
application:
Select the option “Custom Request” and click Continue.

What you see now is a screen with a series of fields of fill in. Follow the below
guide to fill in each field:

METHOD: POST
URL: This is the URL of your IEM install /xml.php So for example it may look like
this http://www.domain.com/xml.php
DATA PASS-THROUGH?: Leave this blank
DATA: This is the field where we will place the API call to Interspire and add a
contact. Copy the below code and follow the following instructions:
<xmlrequest>
<username>username</username>
<usertoken>token</usertoken>
<requesttype>subscribers</requesttype>
<requestmethod>AddSubscriberToList</requestmethod>
<details>
<emailaddress>INSERT FROM CONNECTED APPLICATION</emailaddress>
<mailinglist>mailinglistIDnumber</mailinglist>
<format>html</format>
<confirmed>yes</confirmed>
<customfields>
<item>
<fieldid>Insert Field ID</fieldid>
<value>INSERT FROM CONNECTED APPLICATION</value>
</item>
</customfields>
</details>
</xmlrequest>

Username: This is the username of the user account in Interspire Email Marketer
Token: This is the XML token for the user. It can be found in the User “Advanced
User Settings” as seen here:
Mailing List ID Number: Each contact list in Interspire has an ID number. You can
find that ID number by going to your Contact lists and clicking the “View
Contacts” option for the contact list of choice. Look at the URL in your browser
and it will look something like this:
http://www.domain.com/admin/index.php?Page=Subscribers&Action=Manage&L
ists[]=473
The number at the end of the URL is the list ID number. In the above example the
ID number is 473
Field ID: Each custom field has an ID number. To find the ID number for your
custom field visit the Custom Fields list in your IEM application and click Edit on
the field. The URL in your browser will look something like this:
http://www.doman.com/admin/index.php?Page=CustomFields&Action=Edit&id=
49
The number at the end of the URL is the list ID number. In the above example the
ID number is 49
How to Insert From Connected Application:
To insert a field from your connected application click the + icon in the corner of
the “Data” field box.

It will then pull down (at the bottom of the field box) all the different options of
fields you can insert from your connected application. In our example since we
are using MailChimp it is showing us all the options available for MailChimp. Click
on any of these to insert them into your code. Insert them where appropriate
based on the example shown below in these instructions.
Here is an example of how it may look when completed:

Please note in the above example we’ve connected two custom fields (first name
and last name). You can connect as many custom fields as you want to pass
through. Just repeat the code string:
<item>
<fieldid>Insert Field ID</fieldid>
<value>INSERT FROM CONNECTED APPLICATION</value>
</item>

as many times as needed to insert all your custom fields.


UNFLATTEN: no
Basic Auth: Leave Blank
Headers: Content-Type is application/xml as seen in the image below:

Click Continue.
At this point you will have an opportunity to run a test to make sure your zap is
working!

That is it. You are all done.
