What This Workflow Does

This automation solves the common problem of disconnected website membership and email marketing systems. When you use Ghost CMS for content and membership but Sendy for email newsletters, manually transferring subscribers between systems becomes time-consuming and error-prone.

The workflow automatically syncs new Ghost members with your Sendy mailing lists in real-time. It captures signups, updates member information, and handles unsubscribes across both platforms, maintaining data consistency while saving hours of manual work each month.

How It Works

1. Trigger on new Ghost members

The workflow activates whenever a new member signs up in your Ghost CMS or when existing member data changes. It captures the complete member profile including email, name, subscription status, and any custom fields.

2. Format data for Sendy

The member information gets transformed into the format Sendy requires for list subscriptions. This includes proper field mapping, email validation, and preparation of any additional parameters like custom fields or tags.

3. Add to Sendy list

The workflow calls Sendy's API to add the member to your specified mailing list. It handles API authentication and processes the response to confirm successful subscription or identify any errors that need attention.

4. Error handling and logging

If any step fails, the workflow captures the error details and can notify administrators. Successful transactions get logged for auditing and future reference, maintaining a complete record of all sync activities.

Pro tip: Set up a separate Sendy list for Ghost members to track conversion rates from website signups to email engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Ghost and Sendy integration

Connecting Ghost CMS with Sendy automates your newsletter subscriber management. When someone signs up on your Ghost site, they're automatically added to your Sendy mailing list without manual work. This ensures your email marketing stays in sync with your website audience while saving hours of manual data entry each month.

The integration creates a seamless user experience where website membership and email subscriptions work together. For businesses, this means higher conversion rates from visitors to engaged subscribers, with less administrative overhead as your audience grows.

The integration transfers member email addresses, names, and subscription status from Ghost to Sendy. You can configure which fields to sync, including custom member attributes. The workflow maintains data consistency between platforms while respecting privacy and unsubscribe preferences across both systems.

Typical data points include email address, first/last name, subscription tier, signup date, and any custom fields you've added in Ghost. The workflow can be customized to only send specific fields based on your email marketing needs and data privacy requirements.

This workflow can run in real-time when new members sign up or on a scheduled basis (daily/hourly). Real-time sync ensures immediate list updates, while scheduled syncs batch process changes. The frequency depends on your email marketing needs and server capacity considerations.

For most businesses, real-time is ideal to capitalize on the visitor's immediate interest. However, high-traffic sites might prefer hourly batches to manage server load. The workflow can be adjusted to match your specific technical requirements and business processes.

Yes, the workflow allows segmenting subscribers based on Ghost member tags or attributes. You can route different member groups to specific Sendy lists or apply tags during transfer. This enables targeted email campaigns based on how users engage with your Ghost content.

For example, free members could go to one list while paid members go to another. Or you might segment by content interests indicated through Ghost tags. The workflow supports complex routing logic to match your email marketing strategy.

  • Route by membership tier
  • Segment by content interests
  • Tag based on signup source

The integration can handle unsubscribe sync in both directions. When a member unsubscribes in Ghost or Sendy, the workflow can update both systems to maintain compliance. This prevents sending emails to unsubscribed users while keeping your lists clean across platforms.

The workflow respects unsubscribe requests as required by email regulations. You can configure whether unsubscribes propagate both ways or just from Ghost to Sendy, depending on your specific business requirements and compliance needs.

The workflow can be configured to meet GDPR requirements by including consent tracking and proper data handling. You should ensure your Ghost and Sendy setups are individually compliant, then the integration will maintain those standards during data transfer between the systems.

Key compliance features include honoring unsubscribe requests, maintaining audit logs of data transfers, and ensuring only necessary personal data is shared between systems. The workflow doesn't store member data beyond what's needed for the immediate transfer process.
