1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Mailchimp Integration

To add Mailchimp subscribers from a webhook response, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to automate the process by integrating various applications. Begin by signing in to your Pabbly Connect dashboard and clicking on ‘Create Workflow’.

Next, name your workflow. For this tutorial, we will call it ‘Mailchimp Subscriber on Webhook Response’. After creating the workflow, you will see two windows: the trigger window and the action window. The trigger window is where you will set up the webhook to receive data from your application.

2. Configuring the Webhook in Pabbly Connect

In the trigger window of Pabbly Connect, select the ‘Webhook’ option. This will generate a unique webhook URL that you will use to receive data from your application. Copy this URL and paste it into the application that supports webhooks.

• Select the application where you want to send data.
• Navigate to the integration settings of that application.
• Paste the webhook URL in the designated field.

Once you have pasted the URL, any new data sent to this webhook will be captured by Pabbly Connect. This allows you to automate the addition of subscribers in Mailchimp based on form submissions or other responses.

3. Capturing Webhook Responses in Pabbly Connect

After setting up the webhook, Pabbly Connect will display a message indicating that it is waiting for a webhook response. To test this, you need to submit a form or send a request to the webhook URL you configured earlier.

For instance, if you are using Pabbly Form Builder, create a simple form with fields like name, email, and mobile number. Once the form is submitted, Pabbly Connect will capture this data as a webhook response. You can view the details received in the Pabbly Connect dashboard.

4. Adding Subscribers to Mailchimp via Pabbly Connect

Now that you have captured the webhook response, it’s time to add the subscriber to Mailchimp. In the action window of Pabbly Connect, search for and select Mailchimp. Choose the action event as ‘Add Member with Custom Fields’.

Next, connect your Mailchimp account by entering your API key and data center ID. You can find this information in your Mailchimp account settings. After connecting, select the audience list where you want to add the new subscriber.

• Map the email address received from the webhook response to the email field in Mailchimp.
• Add any additional details like first name, last name, and tags as needed.
• Set the subscriber status to ‘subscribed’.

After mapping all the required fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the addition of the subscriber to your Mailchimp account.

5. Testing the Integration with Pabbly Connect

To ensure that everything is working correctly, you should test the integration. Submit another entry through your form in Pabbly Form Builder. This will trigger the webhook and send the new data to Pabbly Connect.

Once you submit the form, check your Mailchimp account to see if the new subscriber has been added successfully. If the integration is set up correctly, you will see the details of the new subscriber reflecting in your Mailchimp contacts.

This automation allows you to effortlessly manage subscribers based on incoming webhook responses, streamlining your email marketing efforts. You can further customize this workflow in Pabbly Connect to fit your specific needs.
