Optional IP allowlist. First-hit “hold until mapped” workflow with sample payload and replay. * **Activity log** — Custom database table; filterable/paginated admin log (created, updated, skipped, webhook held, errors, bulk sync). No Composer dependencies. Rate limits (429) are handled with retries/backoff. **Developer:** [K. Young](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sitebix/) · **Brand:** [Sitebix](https://sitebix.com) · **Support:** support@sitebix.com ### Elementor Pro (native action) 1. In **Sitebix EO Sources & mapping**, add an **Elementor** profile and map form field IDs to EmailOctopus tags (include one row for your list’s contact email field— often `emailAddress` or `email_address`). 2. Edit your Elementor form **Actions After Submit** add **Sitebix EmailOctopus**. 3. Select the mapping profile and save. ### Webhook (Elementor “Webhook” action or any HTTP client) 1. Add a **Webhook** source; set a **New webhook secret** and save. 2. Copy the **Webhook URL** from the source card. Append `?secret=YOUR_SECRET` or send header `X-Sitebix-WEO-Secret: YOUR_SECRET`. 3. On first receive, while mapping is incomplete or the source is inactive, the plugin** holds** the payload, stores a redacted sample, and returns HTTP 202. Complete mapping, set state to **Active**, check **Active**, then save. Use **Replay sample** if needed. **IP allowlist:** One IP per line in the source settings; empty list allows all. Behind reverse proxies, `REMOTE_ADDR` may need server configuration for accuracy. ### User sync & background processing Bulk sync enumerates existing list contacts (paginated), compares to WordPress users( optional role checkboxes on the Connection tab), then upserts missing contacts in batches. If **Action Scheduler** is available (e.g. via WooCommerce), jobs run there; otherwise **WP-Cron** schedules follow-up ticks. Keep **WP_CRON** or a real cron visiting `wp-cron.php` enabled on budget hosts. ### External services This plugin connects to the **EmailOctopus** email marketing API (`https://api.emailoctopus. com`) so site owners can sync WordPress users and form submissions to EmailOctopus lists. **What it is used for:** creating and updating EmailOctopus contacts, listing lists and fields, testing the API connection, and (when configured) comparing WordPress users to list contacts during bulk sync. **What data is sent and when:** * The site owner’s EmailOctopus API key is sent as a Bearer token on every API request (after they save it in settings, or via the optional `SITEBIX_WEO_API_KEY` constant). * Contact data mapped by the site owner( at minimum an email address; optionally names, custom fields, and tags) is sent when a WordPress user is created/updated and matches sync rules, when an Elementor form action or webhook source processes a submission, when a held webhook sample is replayed, or when a bulk user sync runs. * Connection tests and list/field lookups send only authentication and list identifiers — not contact payloads — when an admin uses those controls. No contact data is sent until the site owner configures an API key and active mapping sources. EmailOctopus is operated by Three Hearts Digital Ltd. * Terms of Use: https://emailoctopus.com/legal/terms * Privacy Policy: https://emailoctopus.com/legal/privacy ### Credits Developed by **K.

Upload the `sitebix-to-emailoctopus` folder to `wp-content/plugins/` or install the ZIP via **Plugins Add New Upload Plugin**. 2. Activate **Sitebix to EmailOctopus**. 3. Go to **Sitebix EO** in the admin menu. 4. Enter your EmailOctopus API key (or define `SITEBIX_WEO_API_KEY` in `wp-config. php`), choose a list, set default contact status, save, and use **Test connection**. Optional `wp-config.php` override (key is never stored in the database when set): ``` define( 'SITEBIX_WEO_API_KEY', 'your-api-key-here' ); ``` ## FAQ ### Will bulk sync work on large lists? The plugin paginates EmailOctopus contacts and processes WordPress users in pages. Very large lists increase memory use for the on-site email set; for huge directories consider segmenting by role or running off-peak. ### What happens on uninstall? By default options and the log table are removed. To retain data, add to a small must-use plugin or theme: ``` add_filter( 'sitebix_weo_uninstall_preserve_data', '__return_true' ); ``` ### API rate limits? EmailOctopus applies token-bucket limits; the client backs off on HTTP 429 using` Retry-After` when present. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Sitebix to EmailOctopus” is open source software.
