A Step-by-step Guide for Connecting Mailchimp with WordPress Forms

First and foremost, if you haven’t set up your Mailchimp then you should checkout this detailed guide to create an account and complete the setup.

For sake of this tutorial, we will be creating a contact form and collect different user inputs to store them in our audience list in Mailchimp. However, you can build and use any type of form you need.

Step 1: Enabling WordPress Mailchimp Integration

From your WordPress admin panel, navigate to the “Modules” menu of the Forminix plugin and enable the Mailchimp integration toggle.

Step 2: Adding Integration in Form Settings

Next, navigate to your form’s settings page and then click on the “Integrations” tab.

After that, you will see the “Add Integration” button down below that page. Click on it and a popup will appear. From there, select the newly enabled “Mailchimp” integration.

Step 3: Adding Mailchimp API Key and Contact List

In the “Mailchimp Integration” panel you will see two fields. They are,

API Key:

In this field you have to enter your Mailchimp API key. Don’t worry its fairly simple, to get the key, go to your Mailchimp account and click on the profile icon on the bottom left corner.

Then select the “Account & billing” option as shown in the picture below,

Then on the new page navigate to Extras > API keys. If you haven’t yet created an API key, just simply scroll down a bit and click on the “Create A Key” button in the “Your API keys” section and your key will be generated in an instant.

Now, simply copy and paste the API key into the respective field inside Forminix as shown below.

Choose Contact List:

In this field you have to select the contact list of your Mailchimp where your subscriber/users will be added. Click on the field and select your contact list from the dropdown menu.

Step 4: Mapping the Form Fields for Profile Information

After you are successfully done with all the previous steps, now you have to map your form fields. In simple terms, your selected form fields will work as the profile information of a subscriber/user/customer of your contact list.

For this tutorial we have selected the “Email Address” field as the Mailchimp subscriber’s email address, “First Name” field as their first name and “Last Name” field as their last name.

NOTE: You can also choose custom tags (use comma separated value for multiple tags) and double Opt-in option down below if you need to.
