Connect Fluent Forms to Beehiiv
Connect Fluent Forms to Beehiiv and every form submission becomes a subscriber in the publication you choose. The free ClickSyncr for Beehiiv plugin adds a native Fluent Forms integration with per-form feeds: connect your API key once, pick a publication, map your fields, save. So there is no code, and it takes about two minutes per form.
Before you begin
You need three things: the ClickSyncr for Beehiiv plugin activated, Fluent Forms active, and a Beehiiv account with permission to create an API key. You store the key once, and every supported builder on the site then shares it.
Get your Beehiiv API key
- Log in to Beehiiv and go to Settings → Integrations (app.beehiiv.com/settings/integrations).
- Create a new API key and give it a recognisable name such as
WordPress ClickSyncr. - Copy it and paste it into any ClickSyncr Beehiiv panel. One key serves the whole site.
Treat the key like a password. Anyone holding it can read and modify your Beehiiv subscribers.
Fluent Forms setup, step by step
- Connect Beehiiv in the global integrations. From Fluent Forms → Integrations, find ClickSyncr Beehiiv and paste your API key. You connect once for the whole site.
- Add a Beehiiv feed to your form. Also, edit the form, open Settings & Integrations → Marketing & CRM Integrations, and add a ClickSyncr Beehiiv feed.
- Choose the Beehiiv publication. In fact, the feed’s publication picker shows subscriber and custom field counts.
- Map your form fields. Then pair Email (required) and the publication’s custom fields with your form inputs.
- Optional: set a consent field. Also, select a checkbox input so ticked submissions sync as Active and unticked ones as Unconfirmed.
- Save the feed. In addition, every new submission now syncs to Beehiiv.
Email and custom fields
Beehiiv identifies subscribers by email, so Email is the one required mapping. Every other row maps to your publication’s custom fields, which ClickSyncr loads automatically once the key connects. Custom fields are per publication in Beehiiv; before you pick a publication the list shows the union across your account. Also, ClickSyncr simply skips an unmapped field and never overwrites existing subscriber data with a blank value.
Subscriber status and double opt-in
Each form chooses a subscriber status: Active, Unconfirmed, or Use publication setting, which defers to your publication’s own opt-in behaviour. A consent field overrides it per submission: ticked syncs Active, unticked Unconfirmed. Beehiiv deduplicates by email, so it reactivates and updates existing subscribers instead of duplicating them.
Verify the sync
First, submit the form on the front end (not the admin preview) with a test address you can recognise, filling every mapped field. Then, in Beehiiv, open your publication’s subscriber list and confirm the subscriber exists with the mapped values and the status you expect. In short, that one minute catches almost every configuration mistake.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Cause and fix |
|---|---|
| The publication dropdown is empty | The key is missing or mistyped, or you revoked it in Beehiiv. Re-paste it and reconnect. A key with a trailing space is the classic culprit. |
| Submissions do not appear in Beehiiv | Nine times out of ten the Email field is not mapped. It is the one required mapping. Fix it, then submit a fresh test. |
| A new publication or custom field is not listed | The catalog is cached briefly. Use the refresh control in the Fluent Forms settings. |
| The subscriber syncs but a field is empty | Either that field is unmapped, or it was blank on the submission. ClickSyncr skips empty values, so they never wipe existing Beehiiv data. |
| A subscriber shows as Unconfirmed | The consent field was unticked, or the form’s status is set to Unconfirmed. Check the consent mapping first. |
Does this work with the free Fluent Forms?
Yes. The ClickSyncr Beehiiv integration registers in the free Fluent Forms as a native integration module.
Can one Fluent Forms form have multiple feeds?
The integration follows Fluent Forms’ feed model, so each form’s Beehiiv feed carries its own publication and mapping.
