Integration with Drip email service

I have some good info to share.

Although I really would prefer integration with Drip.com, I have figured out how to integrate with Zapier.

The problem is that with decent usage, Zapier required a paid account which at a minimum is $20/month, so hard to justify when already paying for other services.

I would rather pay you for an upgrade or premium feature than pay them, but…

Here’s what I did:

Now, every time a person signs up to a simple giveaway, the first email will get sent from the plug-in, but after that, I can do all the emails using Drip.com instead.

The trick is to use I took the email notice that gets sent to me with every new subscriber (“A new user subscribed to your giveaway…”)

I added a rule in my email server to forward a copy to the Zapier parser (parser.zapier.com. This is a relatively less-known tool of Zapier that will parse email text based on a template you supply.

With some quick tests, I was able able to get Zapier to parse the user name and email from the simple giveaway message and then send it along to Drip.com through the existing integration with Drip that Zapier already has.

FEATURE REQUEST:

Could you add the user’s giveaway URLs in the “new user subscribed” email that I get? If you included the URL’s that are sent directly to the user in their welcome email sent by the plug-in, I could add that to Drip.

Then I could send reminders from Drip with “If you want to check your current referral balance, just click this link ….” and “Use this link to share with your friends…..” etc.
