Hello - I’m trying to figure out how to add 3 things to my wix site to have it show an on click pop-up from MailerLite.

1 - add JS to the head tag right before closing to go on all pages
2 - add a snippit of JS to the specifi page for the pop up
3 - add in the html so that a button I already have on wix page is clickable to this pop up.

Thank you!

Have a read of this page if not already done so and think about using Wix own email marketing.

What you are most likely looking to need to do is to add a block of html code to a custom tool in your Tracking and Analytics section. Then add an additional block of html code in a html iframe on your actual page where it is needed.

Plus, depending on what you are using MailerLite for, I would thoroughly suggest that you look at authenticating yourself too.

Plus, for a more secure option than using html code, I would suggest that you look at using API too.

For API connections look at using Wix Fetch or Wix HTTP Functions.

@givemeawhisky and/or other Velo Experts, I’m having a similar problem. I can’t get a Mailerlite (ML) script-based form to populate on my website.

  • I have published my domain.

  • I have authenticated my Wix site with ML.

1115×440 26.2 KB

  • I have included the script markup (provided to me by ML) in my site’s head tag. I did this from my Wix dashboard: Settings | Advanced section.

959×327 20.6 KB

  • I added a button to my Wix home page with the markup provided by ML (shown below with some redaction)
 <button onclick="ml_account('webforms', 'XXXXXX', 'XXXXX', 'show')">
  Click here to show popup
</button>

The onclick event fails. The console throws a ReferenceError. ml_account is not defined.

I tested ML’s code and instructions with a small “hello world” HTML file on my local machine: it works. From inspecting my live sites DOM elements, and comparing it to my local test, an iframe is missing from the page - generated I presume by the custom code. I’m assuming the custom code is not firing in the head tag.

I know you’d prefer it we used your email marketing tools, but I came to you with my ML relationship already established. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
