Not in Mailtrap yet
Alex joins the Weekly Edit and selects an interest.
AFTER THE HANDOFF
Contact + selected list
The name and mapped answers accompany the new marketing contact.
This is the Contacts connection
WConvert adds the contact through Mailtrap’s Contacts API. It does not configure SMTP, send a test email to a sandbox or send a newsletter itself.

The details that matter when choosing Mailtrap for your workflow.
Mailtrap’s custom fields guideWhat is included in this integration?
WConvert Pro can add contacts to a chosen Mailtrap list and send configured contact fields. This is a Contacts integration, not a Mailtrap SMTP or Email Sandbox setup. Mailtrap service charges are separate.
Which token should I use?
Use a Mailtrap API token associated with one account that can access contacts, lists and fields. WConvert checks access during setup; a token exposing several accounts is not accepted for this connection.
Where does the name go?
The destination lets you choose an existing text field in Mailtrap. The captured name is sent as one value, not split into first and last names.
Can I update an existing contact?
Yes, with Update mapped fields enabled on the destination. Otherwise the existing details remain unchanged and a marketing signup adds the selected list. Other list memberships and subscription status are preserved.
Can I use this to manage unsubscribes?
No. The connection does not change subscription status. Manage subscription choices, eligibility and any confirmation workflow in Mailtrap. Capturing a lead is not proof of permission or email delivery.
Are enquiries added to the marketing list?
No. A campaign configured for an enquiry can create a contact or update mapped details if enabled, but it does not add the selected marketing list.
