The integrating process is really as simple as possible for the end user. It is as simple as enabling a toggle button. This integration will connect the registration form that your users will fill up and send that information to the subscriber's list in the MailPoet plugin.
Please Note: You need to have both plugins. Including MailPoet Newsletter and WP User Frontend.
