🔗 3. Your First Connection — Add an Autoresponder

Setting up your first connection is a two-step process: connect the autoresponder, then build a bridge that uses it.

Step 1: Connect the autoresponder

1. Go to WP Sync → Autoresponders
2. Click the provider you want (ActiveCampaign, AWeber, GetResponse, GoHighLevel, Sendiio, or ConvertKit)
3. Paste your API credentials in the form — each provider tells you exactly which field they need (API key, account URL, location ID, etc.)
4. Click Save
5. WP Sync immediately tests the connection — green = working, red = check the key

Where to find each provider's API credentials

• ActiveCampaign — Settings → Developer → API URL + API Key
• AWeber — OAuth flow: click Connect, log into AWeber, authorize
• GetResponse — Account → Integrations & API → API tab
• GoHighLevel — Settings → API Keys → Create new API key for a specific location
• Sendiio — Account → API tab
• ConvertKit — Account Settings → Advanced → API & Webhooks → API Secret

Step 2: Build a Bridge

A bridge connects ONE source to ONE destination. Go to WP Sync → Bridges → Add New, then:

1. Pick the source (a form, a webhook, a WooCommerce order, etc.) — what generates the contact
2. Pick the destination (the autoresponder you just connected) — where the contact goes
3. Pick the list / tag inside the autoresponder
4. Map your fields (see the Field Mapping article)
5. Save

From that moment, every new event from the source automatically pushes to the destination. No cron jobs to configure, no Zapier task budget — it just runs.

Testing your first bridge

• Submit your test form / make a $0.01 test purchase / trigger whatever your source is
• Open WP Sync → Activity Log
• You should see a row within a few seconds: 'sent to ActiveCampaign — success' (or whatever you wired up)
• Check your autoresponder — the contact should be in the list
