How to integrate Mailchimp with Adalo?

Step 1: Log in to Your Adalo Account

First things first, log into your Adalo account at adalo.com. If you don't have an account yet, no worries—just sign up and you're good to go.

Step 2: Create or Open Your Adalo App

Once you're in, you can either open an existing app or start fresh by clicking on the "Create New App" button. Easy peasy.

Step 3: Navigate to the Database Section

Head over to your app's dashboard and find the "Database" tab in the sidebar. This is where you'll manage collections, which are kinda like tables that store your app's data.

Step 4: Create a Collection for Mailchimp Subscribers

Create a new collection to keep track of your Mailchimp subscribers. You might want to name it something like MailchimpSubscribers. Add properties like:

  • Email (Type: Text)
  • First Name (Type: Text)
  • Last Name (Type: Text)

Step 5: Set Up API Integration in Adalo

Go to the "Settings" section in your app and navigate to "Integrations". Select "External Collections" and click on "Add Collection."

Step 6: Obtain Mailchimp API Key

Log in to your Mailchimp account at mailchimp.com. Head to Your Profile -> Extras -> API Keys. Generate a new API key if you don't have one already and copy it.

Step 7: Configure the Mailchimp API in Adalo

In Adalo, fill in the details for your Mailchimp integration:

  • Base URL: https://<dc>.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/ (Replace <dc> with the data center specific to your Mailchimp account, found in your API key)
  • Headers:
  • Key: Authorization
  • Value: apikey <Your-Mailchimp-API-key>

Click "Next."

Step 8: Configure HTTP Requests for Mailchimp

Set up the necessary HTTP requests to interact with Mailchimp's API:

  • Get All Records (GET):
  • URL: https://<dc>.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/lists/<list_id>/members
  • Create a Record (POST):
  • URL: https://<dc>.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/lists/<list_id>/members
  • Body: { "email_address": "magictext-input-email", "status": "subscribed", "merge_fields": { "FNAME": "magictext-input-firstname", "LNAME": "magictext-input-lastname" } }

Make sure to replace <dc> and <list_id> with your Mailchimp details.

Step 9: Bind Mailchimp API to Adalo Form

Create a form in your Adalo app where users can enter their email, first name, and last name. Configure the form action to trigger the Mailchimp POST API call when submitted.

Step 10: Test Your Integration

Run your app in Adalo and submit the form to make sure the data is correctly sent to Mailchimp and that the new subscriber shows up in your Mailchimp audience. Fingers crossed!

Step 11: Customize as Needed

Depending on what you need, you might want to tweak some additional Mailchimp settings, set up automations, or customize the layout and design of your Adalo app to better fit your style.
