1. Access Pabbly Connect for Integration

To send Outlook emails when a new Mailchimp subscriber is added, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website at Pabbly.com/connect. If you are an existing user, click on the ‘Sign In’ button. New users can easily sign up in just a few minutes.

Once signed in, navigate to the dashboard and locate the ‘Create Workflow’ button on the right-hand side. Click on it, and a dialog box will prompt you to name your workflow. Name it appropriately, such as ‘Send Outlook Email When New Mailchimp Subscriber is Added’, and click on ‘Create’ to proceed with the integration.

2. Set Up Mailchimp as the Trigger Application

In this step, you will set up Mailchimp as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. After creating the workflow, you will see two options: ‘Trigger’ and ‘Action’. Click on the ‘Trigger’ option and select Mailchimp from the list of applications. The trigger event you need to choose is ‘New Subscriber’.

• Select Mailchimp from the application list.
• Choose the trigger event as ‘New Subscriber’.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

This webhook URL acts as a bridge between Pabbly Connect and Mailchimp. You will need to paste this URL into your Mailchimp account to complete the integration.

3. Configure Mailchimp Webhook Settings

Now that you have the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect, navigate to your Mailchimp account. In Mailchimp, go to ‘Audience’, select ‘Manage Audience’, and then click on ‘Settings’. Scroll down to the ‘Webhooks’ section and click on ‘Create New Webhook’.

• Paste the copied webhook URL into the ‘Callback URL’ field.
• Select the ‘Subscribers’ checkbox.
• Check all three options under ‘Only send updates when a change is made’.

After configuring these settings, click on ‘Save’. This step ensures that every time a new subscriber is added to Mailchimp, the webhook will trigger the workflow in Pabbly Connect.

4. Test the Webhook Configuration

To confirm that your webhook is working correctly, you need to perform a test. This involves adding a new subscriber to your Mailchimp audience. Go to the signup form you created earlier and fill it out with a new subscriber’s details.

After submitting the form, return to Pabbly Connect to check if the response from Mailchimp has been received. You should see all the details of the new subscriber captured in the webhook response. This confirms that the integration is functioning correctly.

5. Set Up Outlook Email Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that the trigger is configured, it’s time to set up the action application, which will be Microsoft Office 365. In Pabbly Connect, select ‘Action’ and choose Microsoft Office 365 as your action application. The action event you need to select is ‘Send Email’.

Next, you will need to connect your Microsoft Office 365 account by clicking on ‘Add New Connection’. Authorize the connection by allowing access. Once connected, fill in the required fields, including the email subject, body content, and recipient email address. For example, you can set the subject as ‘Thank You for Subscribing’ and map the recipient’s email address from the previous step.

After configuring all the required fields, save the workflow. You can now test the integration by adding another subscriber in Mailchimp and checking if they receive the Outlook email.

This tutorial demonstrated how to integrate Mailchimp with Outlook to send emails automatically using Pabbly Connect. By following the steps outlined, you can ensure that every new Mailchimp subscriber receives a welcome email in Outlook seamlessly.
