2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will create a new workflow that connects Google Contacts and Mailchimp. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow, such as ‘Add Mailchimp Subscriber with Tag from Google Contacts.’ Select a folder to save your workflow.

• Click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.
• You will see two boxes: Trigger and Action.
• Set up the Trigger first, which will be Google Contacts.

Once you select Google Contacts as your trigger application, set the trigger event to ‘New or Updated Contact.’ This will ensure that every time a new contact is added, it triggers the workflow. After this, you will connect Google Contacts with Pabbly Connect.

3. Connecting Google Contacts to Pabbly Connect

To connect Google Contacts, click on the ‘Connect’ button and then select ‘Add New Connection.’ You will be prompted to sign in with your Google account. Click ‘Allow’ to grant Pabbly Connect access to your Google Contacts.

Once the connection is successful, you can proceed to create a new contact in Google Contacts. Click on the ‘Create Contact’ button and fill in the necessary details, such as the first name, last name, email address, and phone number. Make sure to select a label for the contact, such as ‘Subscriber,’ before saving.

4. Setting Up Action Steps in Pabbly Connect

After creating the contact, go back to Pabbly Connect and click on the ‘Save’ button. You will see the response from Google Contacts, which includes the new contact details. Now, you need to set up the action step to retrieve the label using Google Contacts.

• Select Google Contacts again as your action application.
• Choose ‘Get Group SL Label’ as the action event.
• Connect it using the existing connection you made earlier.

After mapping the group ID received in the trigger response, click on ‘Save’ to retrieve the label. This label will be used as a tag when creating the Mailchimp subscriber.

5. Adding a Mailchimp Subscriber with Tag

Now that you have the label, it’s time to add a new subscriber in Mailchimp. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select Mailchimp as your action application. Choose the action event ‘Add New Member with Custom Fields’ to proceed.

Connect Mailchimp by clicking on ‘Connect’ and entering the API key and data center. To find your API key, go to your Mailchimp account, navigate to ‘Profile,’ then ‘Account,’ and finally ‘Extras’ to create a new key. Copy this key and paste it back into Pabbly Connect.

Next, map the email address, first name, last name, mobile number, and tag (label) for the new subscriber. Once all details are mapped, click on ‘Save and Test Request.’ You will receive a positive response indicating that the subscriber has been added successfully.
