1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Mailchimp Integration

To begin sending WhatsApp messages to Mailchimp subscribers, you must first set up Pabbly Connect. Visit the Pabbly website and sign in to your account. If you are new, you can easily create an account by clicking on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button.

Once logged in, navigate to Pabbly Connect and click on the blue ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow as ‘Mailchimp to WhatsApp’ and click ‘Create’. This will open two main sections: Trigger and Action.

2. Choosing Mailchimp as the Trigger Event

In the Trigger section, select Mailchimp as your application. Click on the ‘Trigger Event’ dropdown and choose ‘New Subscriber’. This option is crucial as it will initiate the workflow whenever a new subscriber is added to your Mailchimp list.

Upon selecting the trigger, you will see a Webhook URL generated by Pabbly Connect. Copy this URL, as it will be used to establish a connection with Mailchimp.

• Log in to your Mailchimp account.
• Navigate to ‘Audience’ and select ‘Manage Audience’.
• Click on ‘Settings’ and then ‘Webhooks’.
• Create a new webhook by pasting the copied URL.

Ensure you select the appropriate options to receive notifications for new subscribers. Save the settings to establish the connection successfully.

3. Capturing the Response from Mailchimp

After setting up the webhook in Mailchimp, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Recapture Response’. This action is essential to verify that the connection between Mailchimp and Pabbly Connect is established correctly.

To test this, fill out a sample subscription form in Mailchimp. Once submitted, Pabbly Connect will capture the subscriber’s details, including their name, email address, and WhatsApp number, allowing you to confirm that the integration is working.

• Ensure the subscriber’s information is displayed correctly in Pabbly Connect.
• Check for any errors in the data capture process.
• Confirm that the subscriber’s WhatsApp number is included.

Once you verify that the data is captured correctly, you can proceed to set up the action event for sending WhatsApp messages.

4. Setting Up the Action Event with AiSensy

In the Action section of Pabbly Connect, select AiSensy as the application. Choose ‘Send Template Message’ as the action event, which allows you to send customized WhatsApp messages to your subscribers.

To connect AiSensy with Pabbly Connect, you will need to provide an API key. This key can be found in your AiSensy account under the ‘Manage’ section. Copy the API key and paste it into the required field in Pabbly Connect.

Navigate to AiSensy and click on ‘Manage’. Select ‘API Key’ and copy your unique key. Return to Pabbly Connect and paste the API key to establish the connection.

After successfully connecting AiSensy, you will be prompted to fill in additional details such as campaign name and mobile number for the WhatsApp message. Ensure all fields are accurately filled to facilitate message delivery.

5. Testing the Integration

With the workflow set up in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the integration. Fill in the required fields for the WhatsApp message, including the subscriber’s name and email address. Ensure that the template message is correctly formatted to include personalized elements.

After filling in the details, save the configuration and send a test request. Check the response status to confirm that the message was sent successfully to the subscriber’s WhatsApp number.

Verify that the message appears in the subscriber’s WhatsApp inbox. Check the content of the message for accuracy. Ensure that all personalized fields are populated correctly.

Once confirmed, your integration between Mailchimp and WhatsApp via Pabbly Connect is complete, allowing you to automate communication with your subscribers efficiently.
