ChimpMatic connects your Contact Form 7 forms to eight email marketing platforms. WordPress.org calls these external services, because your form data leaves your site and goes to them. So this page lists every one of the external services, what each is good at, and where to read its privacy policy.
How your data reaches the external services
When someone fills in your form, their details go straight from your site to the provider you picked. Nothing stops at chimpmatic.com on the way.
What the external services receive
For each submission, ChimpMatic sends the email address, the fields you mapped, and the list, audience or group you chose. It also sends the consent choice when your form asks for one. That is all. ChimpMatic never sends unmapped fields, and each form only talks to the one provider you set for it.
External services for email marketing
Mailchimp
Mailchimp is the one most people have heard of, and for good reason. It has a deep template library, so you can build a polished campaign without a design tool. Its automations also cover what small businesses want, such as a welcome series or a nudge to people who skipped the last email.
See the Mailchimp setup guide, or read how Mailchimp handles your data.
Brevo
Brevo prices by the emails you send rather than the contacts you store. That changes the maths once your list gets big. It also sends SMS and transactional email from the same account, so receipts, password resets and newsletters live in one place.
See the Brevo setup guide, or read how Brevo handles your data.
MailerLite
MailerLite is the one people move to when they want less. The editor is pleasant, the interface stays out of your way, and the free plan is generous enough for a real newsletter. So if other tools feel like too much software, try this one.
See the MailerLite setup guide, or read how MailerLite handles your data.
Klaviyo
Klaviyo was built for people who sell things. It ties email to order data, so you can segment by what someone bought and see the revenue each campaign earned. That is why store owners on WooCommerce often pick it.
See the Klaviyo setup guide, or read how Klaviyo handles your data.
Campaign Monitor
Campaign Monitor organizes lists under clients, which suits agencies that run email for several brands. Each list also keeps its own opt-in rule, so every client can choose single or confirmed opt-in.
See the Campaign Monitor setup guide, or read how Campaign Monitor handles your data.
GetResponse
GetResponse bundles email with landing pages, webinars and autoresponders. It calls lists “campaigns”, and its custom fields work across your whole account, so one mapping fits every list.
See the GetResponse setup guide, or read how GetResponse handles your data.
EmailOctopus
EmailOctopus keeps costs low and the feature list short, and it offers a free plan. Every list has its own fields, and double opt-in is a simple switch on each list.
See the EmailOctopus setup guide, or read how EmailOctopus handles your data.
Moosend
Moosend focuses on automation workflows at a friendly price. With ChimpMatic it only adds new subscribers, because its subscribe call would otherwise overwrite existing ones.
See the Moosend setup guide, or read how Moosend handles your data.
Which of the external services should you choose?
If you already have an account somewhere, start there, because moving a list is the hard part. If you are choosing fresh, here is a quick guide:
- Mailchimp for templates and all-in-one convenience
- Brevo for a big list on a small budget
- MailerLite or EmailOctopus for simplicity
- Klaviyo for selling
- Campaign Monitor for agencies with several clients
- GetResponse or Moosend for automation
You can switch later, and you can run different forms into different providers on the same site. Browse all the integrations or ask us for a second opinion.
