1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start the integration process between Mailchimp and Sendinblue, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Simply type the URL Pabbly.com/connect in your browser. This will take you to the landing page of Pabbly Connect.

On the right-hand side, you will see options to either sign in or sign up for free. If you are a new user, click on the sign-up tab, which takes less than two minutes. Upon account creation, you will receive 100 free tasks. If you are an existing user, click on the sign-in button to access your dashboard.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once signed in, you will be directed to the ‘All Applications’ page. Click on Pabbly Connect to reach the dashboard. Here, you will find a tab titled ‘Create Workflow’ on the right side. Click on it to begin.

• Name your workflow as ‘Add New Mailchimp Subscribers as Sendinblue Subscribers’.
• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.
• Select Mailchimp as the trigger application.

After naming your workflow, you will encounter two essential events: trigger and action. The trigger event will be Mailchimp, and the action event will be Sendinblue. This setup allows you to automate the process of adding new subscribers from Mailchimp to Sendinblue.

3. Setting Up the Mailchimp Trigger

The next step involves setting up Mailchimp as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the trigger event labeled ‘New Subscriber’. After selection, you will receive a webhook URL, which acts as a bridge between Pabbly Connect and Mailchimp.

Copy this webhook URL and navigate to your Mailchimp account. Go to the ‘Audience’ section, click on ‘Manage Audience’, and select ‘Settings’. Scroll down to find the ‘Webhooks’ option and click on ‘Create New Webhook’. Paste the copied URL into the appropriate field.

• Uncheck all options except for ‘Send updates when A Change Is made’.
• Ensure the ‘via the API’ option is checked.

After completing these steps, save your settings in Mailchimp. This setup will ensure that every time a new subscriber is added to Mailchimp, it triggers the webhook in Pabbly Connect.

4. Testing the Connection with Mailchimp

To verify that the connection works, you will need to test it. Go back to Pabbly Connect and perform a test submission. This will record the data in the webhook response. You can create a new subscriber in Mailchimp by navigating to the ‘Signup Forms’ and selecting ‘Form Builder’.

Fill out the form with the necessary details such as first name, last name, email address, mobile number, and gender. Click on ‘Subscribe’ to confirm the subscription. After subscribing, return to Pabbly Connect to check if you received the API response.

Confirm that the response includes the mobile number, last name, first name, and email address. This data will be used to create a contact in Sendinblue.

Once you verify that the data is recorded correctly, you can proceed to set up Sendinblue as your action application.

5. Creating a Contact in Sendinblue

Now that you have set up the Mailchimp trigger, it’s time to set Sendinblue as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the action event labeled ‘Create Contact’. Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with your Sendinblue account.

To connect, you will need your Sendinblue API key. Log into your Sendinblue account and navigate to the API section. Generate a new API key and copy it. Return to Pabbly Connect and paste the API key into the provided field.

Map the fields from Mailchimp to Sendinblue. Ensure that you include the email address, first name, last name, and mobile number.

Once you have completed the mapping, click on ‘Save’ and send a test request. Check your Sendinblue account to confirm that the new contact has been successfully created.
