Before creating a functioning opt-in form, you must connect Bloom to your email marketing software/email newsletter software.

Once connected, Bloom can add subscribers to lists within your accounts.

Bloom supports the following software:

To connect Bloom with your email software, navigate to the WordPress Dashboard → Bloom → Email Accounts page.

This will bring you to the Bloom's Control Panel. Click the New Account button on the top right of the settings panel to start adding a new account.

This is where you can manage your existing Bloom accounts or create new ones.

If this is your first time visiting the Accounts tab, you will see accounts listed later. You first need to add one.

To get started, click the New Account button.

This will bring you to the account creation screen.

Here, you can choose your email provider from the dropdown list. Once you have selected your account type, some additional settings will appear.

These settings are used to verify your account and link it with Bloom. Once your account is linked, Bloom can use your Email Provider's API to automatically add subscribers to your email list.

The steps for verification will vary based on your Email Provider and may involve providing an API Key or additional account information.

Next, we will go over each of the different account types and their verification steps in detail:

When you select ActiveCampaign from the email provider dropdown menu, you will notice that some new fields appear:

This can be anything you like and is merely a reference for remembering the account.

The API Key is a special code that is given to you by ActiveCampaign that you can use to authenticate your account.

This code can be found within your ActiveCampaign.com account dashboard.

The API URL is a special URL assigned to your account by ActiveCampaign.

This code can be found just below the API Key in your ActiveCampaign account dashboard. ActiveCampaign requires an API Key and API URL to integrate with Bloom.

You can find both the API Key and API URL in the API tab of your account settings page. To access your account settings, click on your profile image on the far-right side of the main navigation toolbar and click My Settings.

Form ID is optional but can be used to pull settings from a form created within your AcitveCampaign account to enable double opt-in confirmation.

Once added, the account and its associated lists will appear in the Email Accounts tab of your Bloom settings panel.

You can manage or delete this account anytime from within that tab. You also have the option to use the optional Form ID field while authorizing your account. This should be used if you need to enable double opt-in confirmation.

To create a new form within your ActiveCampaign account, log in and click on the Apps link. Next, click the Add Form link to create a new form.

You don't need to adjust the form settings since Bloom only supports the Name and Email fields.

Instead, we need to locate the Form ID to be added to your Bloom integration settings.

Unfortunately, ActiveCampaign doesn't list this ID, but luckily, you can find it by looking at the URL in the browser's address bar. While on the form creation page, you can look at your URL. It might look something like this: https://elegantthemes.activehosted.com/admin/main.php?action=form_edit&id=31.

You should see a number attached to the end of the URL. That's your form ID.

Copy and paste that number into the Form ID field in Bloom and click Authorize.

Now that you have connected Bloom to a specific form, it will use the standard ActiveCampaign workflow, including double opt-in confirmation.
