Summary
To send information from your Gravity Forms form to the MailerLite service, you will first need to create a feed. The feed will tell Gravity Forms which MailerLite group you want to use, how you want the fields to be mapped, and under what conditions you wish for the entry to be sent to the service. This article describes the steps to create a basic feed for the MailerLite Add-On.
This add-on is a beta release and is available for download via your Gravity Forms account downloads page. We encourage you to thoroughly test beta releases in controlled sandbox environments and do not recommend their use on production environments. Beta functionality and features may be subject to change or removal before final release.

To create a feed using the MailerLite Add-On for Gravity Forms, do the following from your WordPress Admin Dashboard:

- Select the form that you want to use with MailerLite.
- Once within your desired form, hover over Form Settings and click on MailerLite.

Mapping to Custom Fields
When creating a feed, the only MailerLite profile fields displayed are the email, first name, and last name, but you can map your form fields to other MailerLite fields. To map additional form fields to the MailerLite profile fields, click on the plus icon and select them from the dropdown in the Key column.
MailerLite also supports creating custom fields that can be mapped to the form fields. For details on how to create additional fields, please refer to this MailerLite article, How To Create And Use Custom Fields.
