1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

The first step in this automation process is to set up Pabbly Connect. This powerful automation tool allows you to connect various applications without coding. To get started, navigate to the Pabbly Connect homepage by typing the URL pabbly.com/connect in your browser.

Once there, you will see options to sign in or sign up for free. If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button. After creating your account, you will receive 100 free tasks monthly to explore the features of Pabbly Connect.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To create a new workflow, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ option in Pabbly Connect. You will need to name your workflow; for example, you can use ‘Create Respond Contacts from New Mailchimp Subscribers’. Choose the appropriate folder for saving this workflow.

  • Select the folder for your workflow.
  • Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

After creating the workflow, you will see two windows: one for the trigger and another for the action. The trigger will be set to Mailchimp, and the action will be set to Respond. This setup will ensure that whenever a new subscriber is added in Mailchimp, the same subscriber will be added to Respond automatically.

3. Setting Up Mailchimp as the Trigger Application

In this section, we will select Mailchimp as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. You need to choose the trigger event, which will be ‘New Subscriber’. This event will activate the workflow whenever a new subscriber is added in Mailchimp.

To connect Mailchimp to Pabbly Connect, you will receive a webhook URL. Copy this URL and head over to your Mailchimp account. Under the Audience section, navigate to Manage Audience, then select Settings. Scroll down to the Webhooks section and click on ‘Create New Webhook’.

  • Paste the copied webhook URL in the Callback URL field.
  • Select the updates you want to receive. Uncheck all except for ‘Send updates when a subscriber is added’.

After setting these options, click save. Now, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Recapture Webhook Response’ to test the connection.

4. Testing the Integration with Mailchimp

To test the integration, you need to submit a test form to create a new subscriber in Mailchimp. Fill out the form with details such as first name, last name, email, and phone number. Once submitted, return to Pabbly Connect to check if the webhook response has been captured successfully.

If successful, you will see the subscriber’s details such as first name, last name, email, and phone number in the response. This confirms that the connection between Mailchimp and Pabbly Connect is working properly. Now, the next step is to set up the action in Respond.

Select Respond as the action application. Choose the action event as ‘Create Contact’.

Now you need to connect Respond to Pabbly Connect by providing the access token found in your Respond settings under the Integration section.

5. Finalizing the Automation and Adding Contacts to Respond

Once you have connected Respond to Pabbly Connect, you will need to map the fields for creating a contact. Select the identifier type as email, and map the email address from the webhook response. This ensures that every new subscriber added in Mailchimp will have their email dynamically inserted into Respond.

After mapping the email, you can also map the first name and last name as well as the phone number. Once all required fields are filled, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the automation. Check in your Respond account to confirm that the new contact has been added successfully.

This process will allow you to automate the addition of new Mailchimp subscribers to Respond seamlessly. You can repeat the test by submitting new subscriber details through the Mailchimp form to ensure everything is working as expected.
