# Connecting YOOtheme Pro to Laposta

> Automatically forward form submissions to a list using the Essentials for YOOtheme Pro extension by ZOOlanders.

YOOtheme Pro is a page builder for both Joomla and WordPress. The Essentials for YOOtheme Pro extension, developed by ZOOlanders, adds the ‘Laposta Action’ to it. This allows you to connect a form to a list in Laposta and automatically forward the submitted data. While standard plugins were already available for WordPress, setting up a connection like this for Joomla often required custom development.

## What can you do with this connection?

The ‘Laposta Action’ passes on more than just an email address. You can use it to configure the following:

| Feature                  | What happens                                                                                                     |
| ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Automatic subscription   | Anyone who fills in a form on your website is immediately added to the right list as a subscriber.               |
| Send extra fields        | If you also ask for a first name or city, you can link those form fields to the extra fields of your list.       |
| Update data              | If an existing subscriber fills in the form with new details, the data for this subscriber will be updated.      |
| Automatic unsubscription | You can set up a form so that someone is immediately and permanently removed from your list after filling it in. |

## Setting up the connection

You set up the connection in the ZOOlanders form elements within YOOtheme Pro, not in Laposta itself. You will need an API key for this.

#### Retrieve your API key

Go to the ‘Connect’ page in your account to find your key or create a new one. See: [Create an API key](/hoe-kom-ik-aan-een-api-sleutel).

#### Enter the key in your form

Open the settings of your form in YOOtheme Pro and enter the API key under the ‘Laposta Action’.

#### Choose the list and map the fields

Select which list the data should be sent to, and link the fields of your form to the corresponding fields in Laposta.

## ZOOlanders documentation and support

How to set up the connection and map the fields is described in detail in the [official ZOOlanders documentation](https://docs.zoolanders.com/essentials-for-yootheme-pro/addons/forms/actions/laposta).

> This is an external connection built by ZOOlanders. For any questions about installing and configuring the extension, please contact [ZOOlanders support](https://zoolanders.com/support).
