After signing in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something descriptive like ‘Gmail Senders to Mailchimp Subscribers’. Once you create the workflow, you will see the interface where you can set up the trigger and action for the automation.

2. Configuring Email Parser in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set up the email parser to capture incoming emails from your Gmail account. Select the ‘Email Parser by Pabbly’ option as the trigger for your workflow. This allows you to monitor emails received in your Gmail inbox. using Pabbly Connect

• Copy the email parser address provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Open your Gmail settings and navigate to the ‘Forwarding and POP/IMAP’ tab.
• Add the copied email parser address as a forwarding address.

After adding the forwarding address, confirm it by following the prompts. This will ensure that any emails sent to your Gmail account will be forwarded to the Pabbly Connect email parser, allowing you to capture the sender’s details.

3. Capturing Email Details for Mailchimp

Once the email parser is set up, you need to capture the details from a test email. Send a test email to your Gmail account to check if the parser captures the information correctly. The parser will display the sender’s name, email address, and the email body. using Pabbly Connect

After sending the test email, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Recapture Email Parser Response’. This will show the details of the received email, allowing you to verify that the integration is working.

• Ensure that the sender’s name and email address are displayed correctly.
• Check the email body for any relevant information you might want to include in Mailchimp.

Once you confirm that the email details are captured correctly, you can proceed to the next step of adding the subscriber to Mailchimp.

4. Adding Subscribers to Mailchimp Using Pabbly Connect

Now that you have the email details, it’s time to add the sender as a subscriber in Mailchimp. Search for Mailchimp in Pabbly Connect and select the action event ‘Add Member with Custom Fields’. This action allows you to add new subscribers to your Mailchimp audience. using Pabbly Connect

You will need to connect your Mailchimp account by entering your API key. To find your API key, log in to your Mailchimp account, go to the profile, and navigate to the ‘Extras’ tab where you will find the ‘API Keys’ option. Generate a new key if necessary and copy it into Pabbly Connect.

Select the audience list where you want to add the subscribers. Map the email address and other fields such as first name and last name from the captured email details. Set the status to ‘subscribed’ to ensure the new subscriber is added correctly.

After mapping all the required fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will add the new subscriber to your Mailchimp list, confirming that your automation workflow is working as intended.
