3. Testing the Integration Between Mailchimp and Gmail
With the webhook set up, it’s time to test the integration between Mailchimp and Gmail using Pabbly Connect. You can do this by adding a new subscriber in Mailchimp to see if the data is captured by Pabbly Connect.
To test, fill out the subscriber form with the necessary details such as first name, last name, and email address. After submitting the form, check your Mailchimp account to confirm that the new subscriber has been added. You should also see that the subscriber data is captured in Pabbly Connect’s trigger section.

In the email setup, you will need to specify the sender’s name and email address. For the recipient email address, map the email field from the previous Mailchimp response.
