Keep your Campaign Monitor lists in step with the people who register on your WordPress site. New users become subscribers, profile edits update them, an opt-out field unsubscribes them and erased accounts leave the list. FlowMattic runs it on the same WordPress site, so user data goes from your database straight to Campaign Monitor.

When WordPress fires New User, FlowMattic runs Add Subscriber in Campaign Monitor with the data from that event.
You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps
WordPress and Campaign Monitor workflows you can build
Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.
Ready-made template
Add each new WordPress user to a Campaign Monitor list
Membership sites, course sites and shops with accounts get every new registration on the list they email, so the welcome campaign reaches people who just joined.
Update the subscriber's name when a profile changes
Personalised emails go wrong when a user fixes their name on the site but the list keeps the old one. Update Subscriber copies the new details across.
User Profile Updated→Update Subscriber
Honour a newsletter checkbox on the user profile
When the profile field that holds newsletter consent changes, a Router reads the new value. Unticked users are unsubscribed and ticked users are added back.
User Profile Field Updated→Router→Unsubscribe
Add members to a role-only list when they get a role
Paid members, students or wholesale buyers often get emails nobody else should see. When a role is added, a Router adds the user to the list for that role.
User Role Added→Router→Add Subscriber
Remove subscribers whose site account is deleted
When an account is deleted in wp-admin, the matching subscriber is deleted from the list too, so you stop emailing people who left the site.
User Deleted→Delete Subscriber
Delete the subscriber when an erasure request is confirmed
WordPress handles erasure requests for its own data. This workflow carries the confirmed request to Campaign Monitor as well, so the email list is part of the same clean-up.
GDPR Erase Data Request Confirmed→Delete Subscriber
Add users who registered before the workflow existed
Get All Users by Role lists the accounts you already have. Iterator walks the list and adds each one, so the list starts complete. Run it once, then rely on New User.

Triggers and actions in this pair
A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
Good to know
These workflows write to Campaign Monitor, so an unsubscribe or bounce there does not change the WordPress user. These workflows run from site to list.
Only add people who agreed to receive email. If registration has no consent checkbox, add one and a Filter on it before Add Subscriber.
Unsubscribe keeps the person on the list with an unsubscribed status and their history. Delete Subscriber removes them, which suits erasure requests.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic
WordPress and Campaign Monitor connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
The list follows your site's accounts
Registrations, profile edits, roles and deletions all reach Campaign Monitor, so the list matches the people actually on your site.
Privacy requests cover the email list
Erasure requests confirmed in WordPress also remove the subscriber, which saves a manual step every time someone asks.
User data goes straight from your server
FlowMattic runs on your WordPress site with unlimited runs, so subscribers move from your database to Campaign Monitor with no service in between.
Common questions
How do I add WordPress users to Campaign Monitor automatically?
Create a workflow with the WordPress New User trigger and a Campaign Monitor Add Subscriber step. Pick the list, map the email and name, test with one new user and switch it on.
Can different user roles go to different lists?
Yes. Put a Router after New User or User Role Added with one path per role, and point each path's Add Subscriber step at its own list.
What happens when someone unsubscribes in Campaign Monitor?
Campaign Monitor keeps them as unsubscribed, and your WordPress site is not told, because Campaign Monitor has no triggers here. Avoid re-adding them from WordPress events unless they opt in again on your site.
Can I move a user from one list to another when their role changes?
Yes. Trigger on User Role Changed, then use Delete Subscriber or Unsubscribe on the old list and Add Subscriber on the new one, with a Router deciding which lists apply.
Will existing users be added when I switch the workflow on?
No. New User runs for registrations after the workflow is live. To add earlier accounts, run a one-off workflow with Get All Users by Role, Iterator and Add Subscriber.
