2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging into Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button on the dashboard. You’ll be prompted to name your workflow; for this integration, name it ‘Mailchimp to Excel Integration’. This name will help you easily identify the workflow later.

Next, you will choose the trigger application, which is Mailchimp. Select ‘Mailchimp’ as your trigger application and the event will be set to ‘New Subscriber’. This event will initiate the workflow every time a new subscriber is added to your Mailchimp account.

• Click on ‘New Subscriber’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Log into your Mailchimp account and navigate to the Audience page.

Once you’ve copied the webhook URL, you will need to set it up in Mailchimp to receive data from Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up the Mailchimp Webhook

In your Mailchimp account, go to the Audience section and click on ‘Manage Audience’. Then select ‘Settings’. Scroll down to find the ‘Webhooks’ option and click on it. Here, you will create a new webhook by pasting the URL you copied from Pabbly Connect.

For the webhook settings, ensure that you select the option to send updates when a new subscriber is added. Save the webhook settings, which will allow Mailchimp to send subscriber data to Pabbly Connect.

• Click on ‘Create New Webhook’.
• Paste the copied webhook URL.
• Select the ‘Send Updates’ option for new subscribers.

After saving the webhook, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Capture Webhook Response’ to test the connection.

4. Testing the Integration with a New Subscriber

To test if the integration is working, go back to your Mailchimp account and add a new subscriber. Fill in the subscriber’s details, including first name, last name, email address, and any tags if necessary. Once completed, click on ‘Subscribe’.

After subscribing, go back to Pabbly Connect and confirm that you have received the webhook response with the subscriber’s details. This step ensures that the data from Mailchimp is correctly captured by Pabbly Connect.

Fill in subscriber details in Mailchimp. Click on ‘Subscribe’ to add the new subscriber. Check for the webhook response in Pabbly Connect.

Once the response is confirmed, you can proceed to set up the action to add this information into your Excel spreadsheet.

5. Adding New Subscribers to Excel Spreadsheet

Now that you have confirmed the webhook response, it’s time to set up the action in Pabbly Connect. Select Microsoft Excel as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Add Row to Worksheet’. This action will automatically add the subscriber’s information to your Excel spreadsheet.

Connect your Microsoft Excel account to Pabbly Connect by following the prompts. After successful authorization, select the workbook and worksheet where you want the subscriber details to be added. Map the fields from the webhook response to the respective columns in your Excel sheet.

Choose the ‘Add Row to Worksheet’ action event. Connect your Excel account and authorize access. Map the subscriber details to the respective columns.

After mapping the fields, save the configuration. You can now test this setup by adding another subscriber in Mailchimp and checking if the information appears in your Excel spreadsheet in real time.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can easily automate the process of adding new Mailchimp subscribers to your Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. This integration streamlines your workflow and ensures that subscriber information is updated in real-time, enhancing your email marketing efforts.
