What is Mailchimp

Mailchimp is a marketing automation platform primarily known for its email marketing services. It allows businesses to manage their email lists, design and send campaigns, automate customer journeys, and analyze performance. While initially focused on email, Mailchimp has grown to include additional marketing tools, such as social media management, digital ads, and landing page creation.

Key features include:

  • Email Campaigns: Design, schedule, and send targeted email campaigns.
  • Audience Management: Organize and segment subscriber lists for more personalized campaigns.
  • Automation: Set up automated workflows, such as welcome emails and abandoned cart reminders.
  • Templates and Design Tools: Access pre-made templates and design tools for creating branded campaigns.
  • Analytics and Reporting: Track engagement metrics like open rates, clicks, and conversions.
  • E-commerce Integration: Sync with e-commerce platforms (like Shopify or WooCommerce) to leverage customer purchase data in campaigns.

Mailchimp is popular among small to medium-sized businesses for its user-friendly interface and freemium model, which allows users to start with basic services for free and upgrade as they grow.

How to integrate Webflow with Mailchimp

Integrating Webflow with Mailchimp can be done in a few straightforward steps, mainly involving Webflow’s forms and Mailchimp’s API, or through third-party automation tools. Here’s a simple guide on each method:

1. Native Integration (Using Webflow Forms and Mailchimp’s Form Action URL)

  • Step 1: Go to Mailchimp and create a new signup form under your desired list/audience.
  • Step 2: Copy the “Form Action URL” from Mailchimp. To find it:
    • Navigate to Audience > Signup forms > Embedded forms.
    • Copy the URL in the form action tag, which usually looks like this: https://xyz.us1.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=...
  • Step 3: In Webflow, open the Forms settings on the desired form, paste the Mailchimp Form Action URL, and ensure the method is set to “POST.”
  • Step 4: Map the form fields from Webflow to Mailchimp’s fields by adding matching input field name attributes (e.g., EMAIL for the email input).

This simple setup sends form data directly from Webflow to Mailchimp’s audience.

2. Zapier Integration

  • Step 1: Create an account on Zapier, if you don’t already have one.
  • Step 2: In Zapier, create a new Zap with Webflow as the trigger app.
  • Step 3: Choose Form Submission as the Webflow trigger event and connect your Webflow account.
  • Step 4: Add an action step with Mailchimp as the app, select Add/Update Subscriber as the event, and connect your Mailchimp account.
  • Step 5: Map Webflow form fields (such as email, name, etc.) to Mailchimp fields, then activate your Zap.

Zapier will automatically send Webflow form submissions to Mailchimp.

3. Make.com (formerly Integromat) Integration

  • Step 1: Sign up for a Make.com account and create a new scenario.
  • Step 2: Add Webflow as the trigger module and choose Watch Form Submission.
  • Step 3: Add a Mailchimp module and set it to create or update subscribers.
  • Step 4: Map form fields from Webflow to Mailchimp fields.
  • Step 5: Test the scenario and activate it to sync new form submissions.

4. Custom Code with Mailchimp API

  • Step 1: Use Webflow’s Embed feature to add a custom JavaScript snippet that calls the Mailchimp API directly.
  • Step 2: In the script, use the Fetch API or Axios to send data to Mailchimp’s API endpoint for adding subscribers.
  • Step 3: Make sure to secure your API key and handle responses properly to ensure successful submissions and error handling.

This approach is more advanced but offers the most flexibility if you need custom logic.

Each method allows you to streamline lead generation and audience management between Webflow and Mailchimp, making it easier to capture leads and grow your subscriber base.
