Podia makes it simple to connect your Podia account with Drip.
This integration lets you automatically send email addresses from individuals who sign up for your products, subscribe to emails, and join subscription plans on Podia over to Drip.
Before we begin...
Podia lets you automatically send email addresses from individuals who sign up for your products, subscribe to emails, and join subscription plans on Podia over to Drip.
Before you begin, there are a couple of things you should know about our Drip email integration...
One-way integration
Podia's email integrations are a one-way integration.
This means that Podia will send subscribers collected through email forms and product/community signups to Drip, but we will NOT:
Update the subscriber status in Drip if someone unsubscribes from emails in Podia
Update the subscriber status in Podia if someone unsubscribes from emails in Drip
Non-retroactive
Podia will NOT retroactively add subscribers to your Drip account.
Only new subscribers who sign up after you activate the integration will be added.
Account required for product/community signups
External integrations for products/community signups will only fire after users finish creating their accounts.
This means that requests coming from products/community signups, invited customers and customers added through Zapier will only fire after these customers finish setting up a password for their accounts.
Connecting your Drip and Podia accounts
From your dashboard, click on your Avatar in the top right-hand corner and select Settings.
Locate the Integrations settings group and click on Edit next to the "Connect email services" option.
Turn on the Drip integration.
On the next page, login to your Drip account to start the connection process.
On the next page, review your information and click on Authorize to authorize Podia to connect to your Drip account.
And that's it! You should see your Drip account connected to Podia on the Integrations page.
Move to the next section to tell Podia where subscribers should be added to your Drip account.
Setting up audience details
To ensure your Drip integration works seamlessly, you must specify the tags to which these subscribers should be added.
Failing to follow these steps correctly can disrupt the integration, resulting in email addresses not being sent to Drip.
Setting up audience details for email forms

Note: The same segment will be applied to all email forms you have across your site.

Select the Drip tag you'd like to use for email signups through email forms on Podia.

Scroll down until you find the Integrations area. From there, pick the Drip tag you'd like to use for signups for this specific product.
Setting up audience details for community plans

My Drip tags are not loading... What do I do?
If you encounter an error with your audience tags not loading when attempting to set up audience details, it's likely because you haven't created any tags in your Drip account yet.

Here are a couple of things you can check if your Drip integration is not working:
Make sure you have correctly linked the Drip tag to your Email Forms/Products/Community.
Check if your customer has finished setting up their account. Integrations for product signups will only fire once a customer has finished setting up their accounts.
Check if you don't have the same Drip account connected to multiple Podia accounts. You cannot have the same Drip account connected to multiple Podia accounts.
If you have multiple Podia accounts, make sure you create different Drip accounts for each Podia account.
