You will need your API key which you can find in your Benchmark Email settings. You can also specify a default list to send contacts to, this can be overridden at a campaign level.

We support the syncing of Custom Fields for Benchmark Email through our Custom Field Sync feature, you can set this up via the Custom Field Mapping button when setting up the integration.

Before you can send subscribers to Benchmark Email the list must already exist in your Benchmark Email account. Once the list exists you can select it when setting up a Subscribe action.

In order to test if emails successfully send to Benchmark Email you need to do the following:

  • Have a competition created with a Subscribe action
  • Ensure that this action is linked to an existing list in Benchmark Email
  • Enter the action manually from your competition dashboard
  • The action will become invalidated (since we automatically invalidate admin actions)
  • Go to the Actions tab for that competition, then make your action valid
  • It should appear in Benchmark Email within a few minutes
