WordPress Registrations and Tag Segmentation with KlickTipp and Make

Integration type: Automation template for Make.

Use case: Automatically create WordPress user accounts from KlickTipp form submissions and segment contacts based on WordPress comments, so you no longer need to sync subscribers manually or guess who is interacting with your website.

Benefit: Saves time, keeps your contact data in sync, and enables targeted, automated follow-ups—such as welcome sequences or comment-based campaigns—based on real user actions.

Use the ready-made Make templates to get started quickly:

Requirements

  • A KlickTipp account with API access (API key or login credentials available)
  • A Make account (to import and run the template)
  • A WordPress website where you can edit pages, embed forms, or add comment blocks with admin access
  • A KlickTipp form or landing page created in KlickTipp that can be embedded in WordPress (recommended)
  • Permissions to install and activate WordPress plugins, if necessary (e.g., to embed forms or manage comments)

Setup in Your KlickTipp Account

Create Data Fields in KlickTipp

The templates use the existing standard KlickTipp contact fields for name and email. Create the custom fields listed below only if you want to save WordPress-specific data in KlickTipp:

  • WordPress | Username — Line
  • WordPress | Temporary password — Line
  • WordPress | User ID — Line
  • WordPress | Comment — Line
  • WordPress | Signup consent — Line

Define or Create a KlickTipp Tag

Create the tags manually in KlickTipp before starting the scenario. Use clear and consistent naming. Below are the recommended tags for the two templates—adapt them to your own naming conventions.

  • WordPress | User registration
  • WordPress | Subscriber
  • WordPress | Subscriber comment A
  • WordPress | Subscriber comment B

Further Preparations in KlickTipp

  • Create a KlickTipp sign-up form
    • Enter the email address and all other fields that should be synced.
    • Add a GDPR checkbox.
    • Add an additional field that grants permission to create a WordPress user.
    • Embed the form later on the relevant WordPress page.
  • Set up a webhook
    • Create a webhook triggered by the form’s smart tag.
    • This webhook automatically sends the data to Make.
  • Prepare a welcome email campaign (optional)
    • Trigger after registration via the form.
  • Comment-based campaign setup (optional)
    • If you want to use comment-based content, create the campaign sequences that are triggered by the comment-related tags.
  • Other
    • If no comment-based campaigns are planned, no further preparations are necessary.

Styling the RAW Registration Form

To simplify the styling of RAW forms, we provide a predefined prompt.

This helps you customize your forms to match the design of your website without changing the existing functionality. You can create modern, consistent, conversion-focused forms even without programming knowledge.

Important: Replace the sample URL included in the prompt (e.g., https://www.klicktipp.com/de/) with the landing page whose design your form should mimic.

Also, paste your original raw form code below the prompt so it can be adjusted accordingly. Then carefully test the generated code and only embed it on your page afterward.

# Role / Context
You are an experienced frontend developer and UX designer specializing in conversion-optimized marketing websites. You are familiar with the visual design, typography, colors, and form patterns of the official website (https://www.klicktipp.com/de/).

# Task / Goal
Adapt the HTML form below so that it visually and structurally appears as if it were created specifically for this homepage.

# Constraints / Rules
The functionality of the form must not be changed (action URL, field names, API key, GDPR checkbox, and captcha script must remain unchanged).
Only HTML and inline CSS adjustments are allowed (no external CSS, no JavaScript).

## The design should:
- look modern, clean, and trustworthy
- match the brand appearance of the homepage (colors, spacing, typography, button style)
- be responsive (desktop & mobile)
- labels may be optimized for better UX (e.g. placeholders, clearer wording), without changing their legal meaning
- the output should contain only the final HTML – no explanations

# Input HTML
The HTML will be provided via the chat input.

Preparations in WordPress

  • Create a sign-up page
    • In WordPress, go to Pages → Add New  and create a page, e.g.,  → Sign Up  or → Registration.  Add a short explanation so visitors know what they’re getting.
  • Embed the KlickTipp form
    • In KlickTipp, open the landing page or form you created and copy the embed code (JavaScript/iframe) or the form shortcode.
    • Edit the sign-up page in WordPress and paste the code into a Custom HTML block in the Gutenberg editor or into the editor area where you want the form to appear.
    • Save and check the preview to ensure the form displays correctly and functions properly.
  • Configure comment sections for segmentation
    • Specify which posts or pages should use comment-based tagging.
    • Make sure your WordPress theme supports comments, or use a comment plugin or block.
    • In the Block Editor: Add a Comments block or enable it under Discussion Settings → Allow Comments.
  • Add support plugins (optional)
    • For more detailed comment data (e.g., sentiment, upvotes), you can install plugins or small custom scripts to capture comment IDs and content.
    • Keep changes to a minimum—the template only reads basic comment events.
  • Testing forms and comments
    • Perform a test registration via the KlickTipp form and leave a test comment under a post.
    • Check whether the form works correctly and the comments are visible.
  • Notes
    • Make does not need to be configured at this stage. The focus is on deploying the form and enabling comments in WordPress.
    • The Make template will later connect KlickTipp and WordPress to read submissions and comments and automatically create users or tags.

  • Monitor the first live runs
    • Monitor the first real registrations or comments in Make’s → Run History  to ensure stable performance.
    • Check the newly created users in WordPress as well as the corresponding contacts in KlickTipp for correct tags and a successfully completed opt-in process.

KlickTipp Tag Segmentation via WordPress Comments

Use this template to get started quickly. Import it into your Make account to seamlessly connect KlickTipp with WordPress comments. The template enables automatic tag segmentation and optimizes your marketing efforts. Follow Make’s setup wizard to link your accounts.

  • Set up test tags and a test contact
    • Create the planned tags in KlickTipp (e.g. → WordPress | Subscriber comment A, → WordPress | Subscriber comment B)  and create a test contact with the test email address.
  • Perform controlled comment tests
    • Post comments on the configured WordPress site using the test email. Create at least two different comments to test various router branches in Make.
  • Monitor the Make history
    • Open the → Run History  in Make and check whether the router selected the correct path and whether the KlickTipp modules correctly found the contact and assigned the tags.
  • Verify tags in KlickTipp
    • Open the test contact in KlickTipp and confirm that the correct tags have been assigned or updated. If necessary, compare the tag IDs in the Make output with the KlickTipp data.
  • Final check before activation
    • Ensure that all required tags exist and that the tag IDs are correctly assigned in Make. Check the email mapping and test various use cases (new vs. existing contacts). Pro tip: Add an error handler in Make to receive immediate notifications if any runs fail.
  • Activate the scenario in Make
    • Switch the scenario from → Draft  to → Active.
  • Monitor the first runs
    • Regularly check the Run History in Make and the KlickTipp contact data during the first 24–72 hours. Verify that tags are assigned correctly and that no duplicates or data overwrites occur in WordPress.
  • Optimize and expand
    • Use real-world data from the first runs to refine router filters (e.g., keywords or consent checkboxes) and reduce potential errors.

Next Steps

Once set up, you can activate the automations right away and expand your data usage. Below, you’ll find practical marketing use cases to help you get the most out of the integration.

  • Welcome sequence for new users: Trigger an automated welcome email campaign in KlickTipp immediately after a WordPress account is created (use the wp_signup or wp_user_created tag).
  • Comment-based nurture sequences: Assign tags based on the sentiment or activity of comments (e.g., wp_comment_positive) to include engaged users in product-related follow-ups.
  • VIP or Reactivation Segments: Use comment frequency or specific tags to identify VIP commenters and move them into a premium campaign or invite them to webinars.
  • Behavioral Targeting: Combine tags from WordPress page visits with comment tags to send hyper-personalized content (e.g., send a content upgrade only to users who have commented on a specific tutorial).

Summary

When you connect WordPress to KlickTipp, your form contacts can be synced automatically, tagged appropriately, and used to trigger targeted follow-up sequences. This saves time and helps increase your conversion rate.
