Hey everyone! I recently started using Sendloop for my email marketing campaigns, and I want to integrate popups to collect more leads. I’ve heard that services like Popupsmart, Poptin, and OptinMonster work well for this.
Can anyone share a step-by-step guide on how to create Sendloop popups using any of these platforms? Also, I’d love to hear about the best practices for designing effective popups. Thanks!
Great question! If you’re looking for a simple and free way to add popups for Sendloop, Popupsmart is a great option. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
There are some features that you need to have before the integration. These are:
Also, you should know that though we tell the process of the integration of Popupsmart and Sendloop via Zapier, you can also do it on Make with 1000 free data opportunities.
1. After signing in to your Zapier account, you will see a ‘Make a Zap’ section on the dashboard. Fill in the necessary blanks for the information you need.
You need to choose Popupsmart for ‘Connect this app…’ and Sendloop for ‘with this one!’.
Then, choose New Popup Form Data for ‘When this happens…” and add or remove subscribers for “then do this” as your actions.
After you have completed filling in the blanks, click Try it.
2. Click Get Started to continue.
3. To connect your Popupsmart, you need to go to your Popupsmart dashboard and create a campaign by adding a form input element. Then, click the form input element on the Customize step.

5. Then, find Zapier to Connect and find the API.
6. After choosing to connect Zapier, you need to Copy the API key to the clipboard.
7. Paste it on the Zapier connection page, which Zapier has directed and click Yes, Continue.
If you have integrated your Popupsmart account for once, you don’t need to connect it again, and you only need to choose your account, like in the image below.
8. You need to choose the campaign you have just created and take the API key to integrate for seamless integration.
Then, you can click Next.
9. The next step is to connect Sendloop by clicking Connect.
10. To connect the Sendloop account, you need to go to your Sendloop dashboard and click Settings on the profile dropdown.
11. Choose API Settings to reach the API.
12. You can copy the API generated, or you can create a new API Key for your integrations.
13. Now, it’s time to paste your API key to the related place where Zapier directs you in the first place.
14. For customizing your integration of Popupsmart and Sendloop, you need to choose the list you want on your Sendloop account. Then, click Next.
15. After choosing the list, you must determine the map fields among the choices.
16. To test the Zap, you must send a test and verify the action.
17. If the test is successful, as in the image below, you can click Next.

Make sure popups don’t slow your site – Popupsmart and OptinMonster are lightweight and don’t affect speed.

Sup everyone! I’m Lea and I run a gaming blog. I used Popupsmart with GTM to:
Promote giveaways
Collect emails for beta game invites
Display affiliate links on RPG gear
Here’s what worked for me:
- Set up multiple popups inside Popupsmart for different campaigns.
- Used URL-based triggers in GTM to control where each one appears.
- For instance:
- Giveaway popup:
/events/giveaway2025- Affiliate popup:
/reviews/*I like how Popupsmart supports targeting rules like:
- Scroll %
- Exit-intent
- Geo-location
