Campaign Monitor email marketing integration

With the Campaign Monitor integration you can connect your Back in Stock account to your Campaign Monitor store mailing list. Customers can opt-in to your mailing list at the same time as creating a Back in Stock notification. It is simple to setup and you can select which mailing list new customers are added to.

Once you setup the Campaign Monitor email marketing integration a mailing list ‘opt-in’ checkbox will be added to your Back in Stock signup form. Customers who create a Back in Stock notification with the opt-in box checked will be added to your Campaign Monitor list.

Note: This integration is available to Back in Stock accounts on a paid plan or free trial period.

Reporting on Back in Stock subscribers in Campaign Monitor

Back in Stock will identify subscribers added to your mailing list by setting a custom field. You can then use this field to analyze and segment your subscriber list.

Troubleshooting

Some customer notifications being added to my Campaign Monitor list?

Campaign Monitor will automatically ignore attempts to add some email addresses, including:

• email addresses that are obviously test, example or system addresses. For example, [email protected] or [email protected] would be ignored (but [email protected] would be fine)
• an email address that has previously been a subscriber but unsubscribed
• an email address where the customer did not have the mailing list opt-in checkbox checked.

I’m using a theme integration for Retina, Mobilia, Responsive, Turbo, or Parallax. I’ve enabled Campaign Monitor integration but the checkbox doesn’t appear.

After you have enabled your Campaign Monitor integration install the theme integration again. The snippet will be updated to include the opt-in checkbox.

Common questions

Do I need to connect to Campaign Monitor to use Back in Stock?

No, the Campaign Monitor integration is entirely optional. The Campaign Monitor integration is only used to add customers to a Campaign Monitor list. Customer notifications are still sent by Back in Stock.

I’m using a custom integration built with the Back in Stock JavaScript API. How can I support mailing list opt-in?

Yes, please refer to the accepts_marketing property in the JavaScript API documentation.
