Adding contact to MailChimp

Follow

This article will aim to show you how to add subscribe leads to a particular list in MailChimp.

 

Getting Started

We have a prebuilt remote system to help you complete deliveries like this.

 

The URL will be pre-populated with the below:

https://{INSTANCE}.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/lists/{LIST}/members/

 

Your instance will be provided by MailChimp and you can use the below article to get your list ID:

Authentication

Scroll down to the advanced settings and enable "HTTP authentication". Add "user" into the Username field and your API Key from MailChimp into the Password field:

Delivery Body

Format your delivery like below:

{ 
"email_address": "[email]",
"status": "subscribed",
"merge_fields": {
"FNAME": "[firstname]",
"LNAME": "[lastname]"
}
}

 

If you have more fields you wish to send over to MailChimp, you'll need to add to the Merge field list.

The below article explains this in detail:

Successful response

You'd be looking for a response which included "status": "subscribed". Anything else suggests that the email was not successfully added to your contact list!

 

As always please raise a support ticket with any issues you encounter.
