In this article, you’ll learn how to connect Monster Leads with OptinMonster.

Before You Start

Here are some things to know before you begin:

• As a best practice, we recommend you connect your campaigns to Monster Leads and a second Email Service Provider (like Constant Contact or MailChimp, etc) to manage and send emails to your leads.
• Monster Leads only stores your leads but is not able to send any emails.
• We recommend using tags for each campaign to help distinguish which campaign your leads subscribed through. This can help you with segmenting your leads.
