How to send leads to GetResponse using Make
A form or checkout captures a lead, and you want it in GetResponse without copy-pasting. Make connects the two: a scenario watches for the new lead, cleans the data, and adds it to the right list. This guide builds that scenario step by step.

TL;DR
- The scenario needs a trigger (new lead) and an action (add contact).
- Connect both apps once, then reuse the connection.
- Filter out obvious junk before it reaches your list.
- Map fields carefully — a wrong field means a wrong email.
- Test with sample data before switching the scenario on.

What the scenario does
The goal is a repeatable path from capture to list. Whatever the lead source — a website form, a landing page or a checkout — the scenario watches for a new record and pushes a clean contact into GetResponse.
Keeping the logic visible on a canvas means you can change one step without breaking the rest, which is the whole reason to automate this rather than wire it manually into every form.
Prepare the connections
Before building, connect both apps in Make and confirm each has the access it needs. You only do this once per app, and the connection is reused by every scenario that needs it.
- Add a connection to your lead source (your form tool or store).
- Add a connection to GetResponse.
- Confirm the GetResponse connection can see the list you plan to write to.
- Note the exact field names on both sides — you will map them later.
Build the scenario
A minimal scenario is a trigger plus a filter plus a Create Contact action. Add steps only when they earn their place.
- Choose the trigger: a new submission or new order.
- Add a filter so empty or obviously fake submissions are ignored.
- Add the GetResponse module that creates or updates a contact.
- Choose the destination list or tag in that module.
Map the fields
Field mapping is where most integrations quietly go wrong. Match the source fields to the GetResponse fields one at a time, and preview the data Make shows you after a test run.
- Email must land in the email field, not a name field.
- Send a first name only if you actually collect one.
- Add a tag or list that reflects where the lead came from.
- Leave optional fields empty rather than guessing.
Test safely, then switch it on
Run the scenario by hand with sample data and read the input and output of each module. Only when the contact arrives in GetResponse exactly as expected should you switch the scenario on.
Keep one test contact you can delete afterwards, and check the first few live runs so a small mapping mistake does not reach your whole list.
Where this fits
Start with the business automation hub and the independent Make review. For the email side, see the GetResponse review and how to set up GetResponse; for the tool itself, how to set up Make.
Frequently asked
Do I need to code?
No. The scenario is built by choosing modules and mapping fields. Code only comes in if a transformation the built-in functions cannot do is required.
What if the same lead submits twice?
Add a step that checks for an existing contact before creating a new one, so you update rather than duplicate.
Does this cost extra?
Make meters operations on paid plans and GetResponse plans vary. Rates change, so check the current pricing on each vendor’s page.
How do I know it worked?
After a test run, confirm the contact appears in the correct GetResponse list with the fields you mapped.
Move leads to GetResponse with Make
Trigger, filter, action — then test before you switch it on.
