At the CampaignMonitor Connection section, click the “Authorize” button.
You will then be redirected to log in to your Campaign Monitor account.
Authorize MailOptin to access your account by clicking the ‘Allow Access’ button.
You will be redirected back to the MailOptin connections page, where the button will now appear green. Select your Campaign Monitor Client and click the “Save Changes” button.
Step 3: Create a Campaign Monitor Optin Form
Navigate to the Optin Campaign page and click the Add New button at the top to create the campaign monitor optin form for your WordPress website.
