Before you start

WConvert can save submissions in WordPress without an outside marketing account. Connecting a service adds a separate action, such as adding a contact to a list or emailing a download link.

Open an existing campaign and select Destinations. For a campaign with several signup screens, review the destination choice for each relevant signup.

Keep submissions in WordPress

Under What happens after submission?, choose Keep in WConvert only. Submissions are saved in Leads for review or export, with no automatic message or forwarding.

Keep in WConvert only selected in Destinations — Local storage needs no sending account. Review the form’s promise so it does not claim an automatic email.

Send to a service as well

Select Send to a service.
Select Add destination.
Choose one of Your destinations, or set up a new supported destination.
Complete its required settings and any account connection.
Save and publish the campaign, then test a real submission.

Connection: The reusable account access a service needs. Not every destination needs a separate connection.
Destination: The selected action and settings, such as a MailPoet list or a lead magnet email. A connected account alone does not tell every campaign where to send leads.

Manage reusable destinations under Settings → Connections & destinations. Select them in the individual campaign as well.

Provider plans and automations are separate from WConvert’s edition. Use the integration directory for product overviews, or follow Send a download link after signup for a complete Free delivery example.

Check the result you intended

For local storage, submit on the published page and find the saved record. For a service, also check its Recent sends and verify the contact or message at the destination.

A lead is not proof of a confirmed subscription. Provider-side confirmations and newsletter automations are managed by that provider. If a record was saved but the next action is missing, see the delivery troubleshooting guide.

For a complete email-list example, follow Send email signups to MailPoet.
