Want to automatically and neatly collect subscribers from your WordPress site?
This guide will show you, step by step, how to connect WPForms to Emailchef so that every signup form becomes a direct source of new leads for your campaigns.
No technical skills required, just a few clicks. Let’s get started!
Make sure you’re using WordPress version 5.0 or later.
Install and activate the WPForms plugin, then create the signup form you’ll use to collect contacts (for example, “Newsletter” or “Request Information”).
For more details, check out WPForms’ official guide Creating Your First Form.
Give your list a name, for example: Contacts from WPForms.
Confirm that your list complies with the Anti-SPAM Policy and Privacy Policy, then click Create.
You can create a different list for each form to keep customers, resellers, or suppliers organized separately.
Go back to your WordPress site and install the Emailchef plugin.
Once the installation is complete, activate the plugin.
In your WordPress dashboard, go to Emailchef.
Here you’ll need to enter your API keys generated in Emailchef. To do so, click Get API Key, this will take you to your Emailchef account, in the API Keys section.
Click Create API Key.
Give your API key a name (e.g., “WPForms”) and copy the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret into the required fields in WordPress.
For more details, read the article How to Generate API Keys with Emailchef.
💡 Remember to save your Consumer Secret: it won’t be visible again once you close the window.
Click Login to complete the connection.
Now select the form you created in WPForms and link it to your Emailchef list using the dropdown menu next to Emailchef List.
Click Save to confirm the connection.
Next, proceed with field mapping. Match your form fields (name, email, phone, etc.) to the corresponding fields in your Emailchef list.
If your list is missing some fields, click Create and map unmapped fields automatically, Emailchef will create them for you.
Once done, click Save.
Copy the WPForms shortcode and paste it into the page or section of your website where you want the signup form to appear.
We recommend testing the form: fill it out and check that the new contact appears in your Emailchef list.
From now on, every new subscriber through WPForms will be automatically added to your Emailchef list, ready to receive your newsletters, automations, and personalized campaigns.
