If you’re a Thrive Suite member, you can simply activate Thrive Automator directly from your Thrive Dashboard. No additional steps needed.

Create & Connect Your FREE Thrive Account

Next you'll be prompted to install a lightweight plugin called Thrive Product Manager, and connect it with a FREE Thrive Themes account. This allows Thrive Automator to connect with all your favorite apps and services, including WooCommerce and 20+ email marketing services.

All of this is totally free and only takes around a minute.

(You can skip this step, but Thrive Automator will be limited to just the basic WordPress actions and installed 3rd party plugins integrations.)

Connect your Email Marketing Service (optional)
