Campaign Monitor
Campaign Monitor email integration
ForwardThis reaches into Campaign Monitor from an email: a subscriber added to a list, unsubscribed on request, or a queued campaign pulled off the schedule before it goes out. Pulling one back cannot be undone, so it asks you first.
Setup in 30 seconds.
How it works
Connect Campaign Monitor
Create a free account and connect Campaign Monitor. It takes about 30 seconds, and you only do it once.
Forward an email
Forward any email to your ForwardThis address along with your instructions. One email can ask for several things at once.
Done.
ForwardThis replies when it's done, with a short summary and links to what it made, and an undo button if something doesn't look right.
Just forward it

Why you need ForwardThis
Email is messy, every message asking for something different. It means constantly leaving your inbox and juggling tabs. ForwardThis skips all of that: forward an email along with some simple instructions, and it’s handled. Compatible with every email provider, and it works across the apps you’re already using.
Questions
- How do I send an email to Campaign Monitor?
- In Campaign Monitor the sender goes onto the list from your instructions using the name and email address from the message, and an unsubscribe uses Campaign Monitor's own unsubscribe, so the record looks exactly as if they had clicked the link themselves. Forward the email to your ForwardThis address with a simple instruction, like "add her to the Newsletter list". ForwardThis adds the subscriber and replies to confirm; someone already on the list is updated rather than duplicated, and someone who took themselves off is never quietly put back. The first time, you'll need a free account with Campaign Monitor connected, which takes about 30 seconds, and that's the entire Campaign Monitor email integration.
- Can I add a subscriber to Campaign Monitor by forwarding an email?
- Yes. Forward the email and name the list - "add them to the Newsletter list". ForwardThis picks up the person's name and email address from the message, adds them, and replies to confirm. If someone is already on the list, their details are updated rather than duplicated, and undo works for 24 hours if the wrong person goes on.
- Can it unsubscribe someone who asked to stop receiving emails?
- Yes - forward their email and say "take them off the list". Because unsubscribing changes what a real person receives, ForwardThis checks with you first, then uses Campaign Monitor's own unsubscribe so the record looks exactly as if they had clicked the link themselves.
- What happens if someone unsubscribed and later asks to come back?
- Say "resubscribe them" and ForwardThis checks with you, then puts them back on the list. It never quietly re-adds someone who took themselves off: if you forward a signup for an address that unsubscribed, it tells you and asks instead of overriding their choice.
- Can ForwardThis send campaigns from an email?
- No. ForwardThis manages who is on your lists and reads your results - it never creates or sends a campaign, so nothing you forward can ever email your subscribers. Sending stays with you in Campaign Monitor. It can tell you how a sent campaign did: recipients, opens, clicks and unsubscribes.
- How is this different from Zapier or Campaign Monitor's own integrations?
- Those are the better choice for a fixed, always-on rule, like every new form signup joining a list automatically. ForwardThis is a Campaign Monitor email integration for everything that arrives as an email instead: a signup request, an unsubscribe request, a question about a list. You forward it, say what should happen, and there are no rules to build first. It handles the emails your inbox needs dealt with, in Campaign Monitor and dozens of your other apps.
