Campaign Monitor Newsletter Sign-Up Using Drupal
Campaign Monitor newsletter service is, in my opinion, top of its class, so I became excited when I found two Drupal modules that use the Campaign Monitor API. One module gives you the basics for users to sign-up on your website, and the more advanced module allows you to map website fields to existing ones set up on the Campaign Monitor website. I would recommend only enabling one at a time.
The power lies in the mapping of fields. For example, if you wanted to send a newsletter that references a user's Drupal username on your website, you would want to create a new field on the Campaign Monitor website first, then go back to your Drupal website and map the [user-name] token to the new Campaign Monitor field. Enabling the "Ask Anonymous" checkbox will prompt anonymous users to enter a value in the chosen field, since they would not have a user name in the system. There are specific blocks created per subscriber list, but also a common block for users to check multiple lists in which to subscribe.
You may also want to try out other features the Campaign Monitor Advanced module offers: user unsubscribes from your website, php code for mapping of fields, various configuration options, etc.
Basic Integration
The "Campaign Monitor" Drupal module is very straight-forward. After installing/enabling the module, you go to Site Configuration > Campaign Monitor to fill out the form fields for API keys that Campaign Monitor gives you for integration with 3rd party systems. You can also enable newsletter sign-up checkboxes to appear on the forms on your site, including the Registration form. Upon save, next step is to place the "Join Newsletter" block in one of your regions.![](http://www.leveltendesign.com/files/basic-keyentry.gif)
Advanced Integration
The "Campaign Monitor Advanced" module gives you much more power and integration with your Campaign Monitor setup. Once you enter your API key/Client ID under Site Configuration > Campaign Monitor > Info, you will want to run cron to pull in your Campaign Monitor info, then go to Site Building > Campaign Monitor to manage your subscriber lists.![](http://www.leveltendesign.com/files/manage-lists.gif)
