Troubleshooting
Invalid API Token Error
If you see “Invalid API key” or similar errors:
- Make sure you copied the entire API token (they are very long, 500+ characters)
- Check that no extra spaces were added when pasting
- Verify the token hasn’t been revoked in MailerLite settings
- Try generating a new token and using that instead
No Groups Showing
If no groups appear when fetching:
- Log into MailerLite and verify you have at least one group created
- Go to Subscribers > Groups in MailerLite to create a group
- Try disconnecting and reconnecting with a fresh API token
Subscribers Not Appearing
If subscribers don’t appear in your group:
- Check that the integration is still connected (green badge showing)
- Verify the correct group is selected
- Look in MailerLite’s Subscribers section—they may appear in “All subscribers” even if not in your group
- Check MailerLite’s Activity log for any errors
MailerLite Classic vs New MailerLite
If you’re using MailerLite Classic (the older version):
- The API token location may be different
- Go to Account > Integrations > Developer API
- Consider migrating to the new MailerLite for better features
