1. Introduction to Pabbly Connect for Mailchimp and Notion Integration

In this section, we will explore how to use Pabbly Connect to automate the process of adding new Mailchimp subscribers to a Notion database. This integration allows you to efficiently manage your subscriber list in Notion, making it easier to track and organize your contacts.

To get started, navigate to the Pabbly Connect website. If you are a new user, you will need to sign up for a free account. This account gives you access to various automation features, including the ability to connect applications like Mailchimp and Notion seamlessly.

2. Setting Up Pabbly Connect Workflow

Once you have logged into your Pabbly Connect account, the first step is to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow, such as ‘Add Mailchimp Subscribers to Notion.’ This will help you identify the automation later.

• Click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.
• Select Mailchimp as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event ‘New Subscriber’ to capture new sign-ups.

After setting up the trigger, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. Copy this URL as you will need it to connect Mailchimp with Pabbly Connect. This URL allows Pabbly Connect to receive data whenever a new subscriber is added in Mailchimp.

3. Connecting Mailchimp to Pabbly Connect

To connect Mailchimp with Pabbly Connect, go to your Mailchimp account and navigate to the ‘Audience’ section. Here, you will find the option to manage your contacts. Click on ‘Settings’ and then select ‘Webhooks.’

• Click on ‘Create a New Webhook’ and paste the webhook URL you copied from Pabbly Connect.
• Select the event type to trigger the webhook. In this case, choose ‘Subscriber Added’ to ensure Pabbly Connect captures new subscribers.
• Make sure to save the webhook settings.

Now that Mailchimp is connected to Pabbly Connect, you need to test the connection. Go back to Pabbly Connect and click on the ‘Capture Webhook Response’ button. This will allow Pabbly Connect to listen for new subscriber data from Mailchimp.

4. Testing the Mailchimp Integration with Pabbly Connect

To test the integration, create a new subscriber using your Mailchimp sign-up form. Fill out the form with dummy data and submit it. This action should trigger the webhook you set up earlier.

Once the submission is complete, go back to Pabbly Connect to see if it captured the new subscriber’s information. You should see the subscriber’s name, email, and other details reflected in the Pabbly Connect dashboard. This confirms that the connection between Mailchimp and Pabbly Connect is functioning properly.

At this point, you can proceed to set up the action that will send this data to Notion. Click on the action step in your workflow and select Notion as the application for the next step.

5. Adding Subscribers to Notion Using Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will configure the action to create a new database item in Notion for each new subscriber captured by Pabbly Connect. Select the action event ‘Create Database Item’ from the Notion options.

You’ll need to connect your Notion account to Pabbly Connect. Once connected, select the database where you want to store the subscriber information. You will also need to map the fields from Mailchimp to the corresponding fields in your Notion database.

Map the subscriber’s name to the Name field in Notion. Map the subscriber’s email to the Email field in Notion. Map any additional fields as needed.

After mapping the fields, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button in Pabbly Connect. This will create a new entry in your Notion database with the subscriber’s details. You can now check your Notion database to confirm that the details have been added successfully.
