Discover how to effortlessly connect Mailchimp with Adalo, step-by-step, for streamlined email campaign management and efficient marketing automation.
Connecting Mailchimp with Adalo lets apps sync user details with email marketing campaigns effortlessly. This blend means email lists update automatically, user info stays in sync, and targeted email campaigns respond to behaviors in the Adalo app. Using API keys, along with tools like Zapier or custom workflows within Adalo, ensures emails stay relevant and personal, improving user engagement and boosting retention. Prepping for this requires knowing how both platforms work and ensuring they play nice with each other.
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.
Once you're in, you can either open an existing app or start fresh by clicking on the "Create New App" button. Easy peasy.
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.
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)Go to the "Settings" section in your app and navigate to "Integrations". Select "External Collections" and click on "Add Collection."
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.
In Adalo, fill in the details for your Mailchimp integration:
https://<dc>.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/
(Replace <dc>
with the data center specific to your Mailchimp account, found in your API key)Authorization
apikey <Your-Mailchimp-API-key>
Click "Next."
Set up the necessary HTTP requests to interact with Mailchimp's API:
https://<dc>.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/lists/<list_id>/members
https://<dc>.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/lists/<list_id>/members
{ "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.
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.
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!
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.
