Connect Listmonk
How to connect Listmonk to SolMarrow step by step, what you can publish, the limits, and tips for better Listmonk posts.
What you can post: Draft campaigns on your Listmonk.
Note: This network opens for everyone once the platform approves the SolMarrow app. Until then it shows In review on the Accounts page.
How to connect
- Open Accounts in the SolMarrow sidebar.
- Choose Listmonk.
- In Listmonk, create an API user under Admin → Users and copy its token. Paste your Listmonk address, the user, the token and the name of the mailing list into SolMarrow. Deleting the API user in Listmonk removes SolMarrow's access.
- Back in SolMarrow, the account shows as connected. You can now pick it under Post to in the composer.
What you can publish
- Draft campaigns: A subject of up to 250 characters and a Markdown body, saved for the mailing list you chose.
- Campaigns with images: Images are uploaded to Listmonk and added to the end of the campaign body.
Limits
- Text: up to 100,000 characters.
- Media: up to 10 images.
- Saved as a draft campaign in Listmonk, never sent. The first line becomes the subject unless you set one.
Tips
- Write the subject first: The first line becomes the subject unless you set one. Keep it short and specific.
- Review before sending: Open the draft in Listmonk, send yourself a test and then send the campaign to the list.
- Use a limited API user: Give the API user only the campaign and media permissions it needs.
- Announce the issue: Schedule the social posts that link to the newsletter archive for after you send it.
