The When a form is submitted in Elementor, create or update subscriber in Acumbamail workflow on the FlowMattic canvas, with 2 steps across Elementor, Acumbamail — The workflow as it appears in the builder after import. Each step opens for editing.

What this workflow does

An Elementor form is often the main way visitors sign up, ask a question or request a download. If your newsletters go out from Acumbamail, those addresses still have to be exported and imported before you can email anyone. This workflow moves each submitter into Acumbamail when they press submit.

The Elementor trigger listens for submissions to forms built with the Elementor Pro form widget on your WordPress site. Each submitted field is handed to the next step. The Acumbamail step runs Add/Update Subscriber, which adds the person to the subscriber list you choose and can update a subscriber who is already there instead of adding a copy.

Nothing filters the entries, so every submission of the form reaches Acumbamail. If the same form also collects messages from people who never asked for email, add a consent check before the Acumbamail step. Task History logs each run, so you can see which address was sent and what Acumbamail replied.

Footer newsletter form

A two-field Elementor form in your site footer takes a name and email, and each sign-up lands on your Acumbamail newsletter list ready for the next campaign.

Gated download on a landing page

Visitors fill in an Elementor form to get a guide. Their address goes to an Acumbamail list you use for follow-up emails about the same topic.

Returning visitors who sign up again

Someone already on your list submits the form with a new name spelling. Acumbamail updates the existing subscriber rather than holding two entries.

How this workflow runs

What happens at each step once the workflow is on, and what you need before you import it.

Step 1Trigger
Elementor New Form Submission
Starts the workflow whenever a visitor submits an Elementor Pro form on your site. The submitted fields become values you can map into Acumbamail.
Step 2Action
Acumbamail Add/Update Subscriber
Adds the submitter to the Acumbamail subscriber list you pick, or updates them if they are already a subscriber. Map the form's email field and any name fields, connect your Acumbamail account, then test with one entry.

What you need

Elementor PluginPlugin
Acumbamail AccountAccount

After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.

Make it yours

Changes worth making after you import it.

Add a Filter after the Elementor trigger that continues only when your consent checkbox is ticked, so only visitors who agreed to emails reach your Acumbamail list.
If several Elementor forms run on your site, add a Filter on the form's name, if the submission data carries it, so only your sign-up form feeds this list.
Make the email field required in the Elementor form settings so every run gives Acumbamail an address to add.

Questions about this workflow

What does Acumbamail do with someone already on the list?

The Add/Update Subscriber action can update an existing subscriber, so a repeat submission refreshes that person's details instead of creating a duplicate. Check the result of a test run in your Acumbamail list.

Do I need Elementor Pro for this Acumbamail workflow?

Yes. The form widget the trigger listens to is part of Elementor Pro, which has to be active on the same WordPress site as FlowMattic.

Will submissions made before import reach Acumbamail?

No. The trigger reacts to new submissions only, so entries from before you turned the workflow on stay where they are.

Can I send different Elementor forms to different Acumbamail lists?

Yes, with a change. Add a Router after the trigger with one route per form, each checking a value that tells the forms apart, and give each route its own Add/Update Subscriber step pointed at a different list.
