The Newsletter Plugin Integration

Turn Newsletter Signups Into List-Building Machines

Your subscription forms convert dramatically better when they appear at exactly the right moment—exit intent, time delay, scroll depth, or page-specific targeting.

Newsletter Plugin popups

Popup Maker + The Newsletter Plugin

The Newsletter Plugin is trusted by 400,000+ WordPress sites for complete email marketing without external platforms—create newsletters, manage subscribers, and send campaigns directly from WordPress. Publishers, bloggers, and businesses choose The Newsletter Plugin when they want full data ownership: your newsletters, your subscribers, your server.

Popup Maker’s native integration turns every subscription form into a list-building opportunity. Present your forms at high-intent moments—exit intent, scroll depth, time delay—automate what happens after signup, and measure which placements drive the most subscribers. Zero configuration required.

Subscription Form Features

Form Submission Actions

Control popup behavior when forms submit

Close Popup on Form Submission

Automatically close the popup when visitors successfully subscribe. No extra clicks, no confusion—just a clean transition to your confirmation message or the page content.

Use Cases:

  • Newsletter signups that disappear gracefully after subscription
  • Lead magnet opt-ins that close once email is captured
  • Exit-intent popups that dismiss on successful signup

Configuration: Enable in Popup Settings → Close → Form Submission. Add optional delay to show The Newsletter Plugin’s success message before closing.

Form Submission Trigger

Open a different popup when any Newsletter Plugin form is submitted. Works with forms inside popups or anywhere on your site.

Use Cases:

  • Lead magnet delivery: subscription form submits → download popup appears instantly
  • Welcome sequences: email capture → detailed welcome message popup
  • Upsell opportunities: free newsletter signup → premium content offer
  • Resource delivery: form submission → exclusive subscriber content

Configuration: Target specific form IDs or trigger on any Newsletter Plugin form submission. Chain multiple popups in sequence.

Form Submission Cookie

Prevent subscription popups from reappearing after visitors have already signed up. Respect their time and avoid repeated prompts.

Use Cases:

  • Newsletter popups that only show to non-subscribers
  • Exit-intent forms that disappear after one conversion
  • Lead capture that converts once, not constantly

Configuration: Set cookie duration from session-only to persistent. Each popup can have independent cookie settings.

Advanced Targeting

Target popups based on form interaction state

PROIs Filling Form Condition (coming soon)

Target visitors who are actively filling out a subscription form. Show contextual popups to users engaged with your Newsletter Plugin forms.

Use Cases:

  • Offer additional incentives to users who pause while filling out forms

Configuration: Select target form(s) and how many fields must be touched before the condition is met.

Conversion Tracking

Measure subscription popup performance

On Conversion Cookie

Automatically set a cookie to hide subscription popups from visitors who’ve already signed up. Smart, self-managing display logic without manual configuration.

Use Cases:

  • Self-managing popups that handle their own display rules
  • Respectful targeting that doesn’t annoy existing subscribers
  • Works independently from Form Submission cookie
PROForm Submission Tracking

Track every subscription popup with detailed metrics in the analytics dashboard.

Use Cases:

  • Identify highest-converting subscription popups by conversion rate
  • Compare popup designs with real performance data

Metrics: Impressions, subscriptions, conversion rate, close rate, time-to-subscription

Integration Benefits

Zero Configuration

If The Newsletter Plugin is installed, Popup Maker detects it automatically. No API keys, no account connections, no setup wizards. Install both plugins and start creating subscription popups immediately.

Respects Double Opt-In

The Newsletter Plugin handles double opt-in confirmation—Popup Maker doesn’t interfere. Subscription forms work identically in popups as they do embedded on pages. Confirmation emails send normally through your configured delivery method.

Works With Free & Premium

Both The Newsletter Plugin (free) and its premium add-ons work seamlessly inside popups. Custom forms, profile fields, preference centers—whatever you build with The Newsletter Plugin functions normally inside popup content.

Lightweight Integration

Popup Maker detects form submissions without adding overhead. The Newsletter Plugin handles email sending and subscriber management. No duplicate scripts, no performance impact, no conflicts with your delivery settings.
