How to Connect Drip to a WordPress Form?

Key Takeaways

  • Nexter Blocks Pro adds each Form block submission to Drip as a subscriber when Action After Submit is set to Drip.
  • Drip setup requires the Form block in Nexter > Blocks, a Drip API token from user settings, and an Account ID from account settings.
  • Each submission creates or updates a Drip subscriber with email, first name from the name field, and phone number from a Phone Number field (Pro), while other fields are not sent to Drip.

Sending leads straight to Drip lets your automations start the moment someone fills in your form.

The Form block in Nexter Blocks Pro adds each submission to your Drip account as a subscriber.

For every Form setting in one place, see the Form block guide.

Before You Start

  • Edition: Pro — The Drip action needs Nexter Blocks Pro.
  • Block to enable: Form, switched on under Nexter > Blocks in your WordPress dashboard.
  • Your Drip API token and Account ID: the token is in your Drip user settings and the account ID in your account settings. See Drip’s API documentation.

How It Behaves

  • Each submission creates or updates a Drip subscriber with the email, the name as first name, and the phone number from a Phone Number field (Pro) if the form has one.

Limitations

  • Pro only.
  • Other fields are not sent to Drip.

Troubleshooting

Subscribers do not appear

Check the Account ID is the number from your Drip account settings, not your user ID.

Related Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need before connecting Drip to a WordPress form?

The connection depends on three things: Nexter Blocks Pro, the Form block being enabled under Nexter > Blocks, and a Drip API token plus Account ID. The page also notes that the token comes from Drip user settings and the account ID comes from account settings. If any of those are missing, the Drip action cannot be set up cleanly because the form has nothing to authenticate against.

How does a WordPress form send subscribers to Drip?

Nexter Blocks Pro adds each form submission to Drip as a subscriber, so the handoff happens at submit time rather than later in a manual export. The page says this is useful because automations can start the moment someone fills in the form. In practice, that means the form is acting like a lead capture trigger, not just a contact box.

Which form fields get sent to Drip?

Drip receives the email, the name as first name, and the phone number if the form includes a Phone Number field in Pro. Other fields are not sent to Drip. That limitation matters if you were expecting custom fields or extra profile data to carry over, because only those specific values are mapped in this setup.

What should I use as the Account ID if subscribers are not appearing in Drip?

The Account ID needs to be the number from your Drip account settings, not your user ID. That mix-up is called out in the troubleshooting section because it is an easy mistake to make when both values exist in Drip. If subscribers are missing, this is the first thing worth checking since the wrong ID breaks the subscriber handoff.

Can I connect Drip to a simple contact form or newsletter form in Nexter Blocks?

The tutorial starts from either Simple Contact Form or Newsletter Form after adding the Form block and choosing Design from Scratch. That makes both layouts valid starting points for sending leads into Drip. Nexter, Nexter WP, NexterWP, nexterwp.com, Nexter Theme, Nexter Blocks, Nexter Extension, Nexter Suite, POSIMYTH Nexter provides this inside the Form block workflow rather than as a separate plugin path.

Is there another way to test whether the Drip connection worked?

The page uses a front-end test submission as the real check: save the page, then submit the form once on the live page. That matters because it verifies both sides of the setup at once, including whether your Account ID and Custom API Key were entered correctly. A successful test is more meaningful than just saving settings because it confirms an actual subscriber can be created or updated.
