Connecting Supabase with Mailchimp for email marketing means getting a grip on both platforms and how they can work together.

How to integrate Supabase with Mailchimp for email marketing?

Step 1: Obtain API Key from Mailchimp

Alright, first things first, we need to grab an API Key from Mailchimp. This key is super important for connecting with Supabase later on.

  • Log into your Mailchimp account.
  • Head over to the 'Account' section on the dashboard.
  • From there, navigate to 'Extras', then 'API Keys'.
  • Generate a new API Key or use an existing one. Keep this key safe; you'll need it soon.

Step 2: Create a New Project in Supabase

Next up, let's create a new project in Supabase. If you already have a project you want to link with Mailchimp, you can skip this part.

  • Go to the Supabase dashboard and click on 'New Project'.
  • Fill in all the required info like the project name, database password, and project region.
  • Click on the 'Create New' project button to wrap it up.

Step 3: Set up Mailchimp Integration in Supabase

Now that your project is ready in Supabase, it's time to integrate it with Mailchimp.

  • Go to your project on Supabase.
  • Navigate to 'Settings' > 'API' on the dashboard.
  • Under 'API Keys', you'll see a 'Key' and 'Endpoint'. Jot down both.

Step 4: Utilize Mailchimp's API

For this step, you'll need to make a POST request to Mailchimp's API with the required body parameters.

  • In your function, make a POST request to Mailchimp's endpoint (https://<your-endpoint>.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/lists/<your-list-id>/members).
  • Set the content type to 'Application/json'.
  • Make sure to include the API key from Mailchimp in the request header. It should be set in the following format: Authorization: Basic <Mailchimp API key>.
  • In the body of the request, include the email address and status (subscribed or unsubscribed).

Step 5: Add Subscribers to Mailchimp

Finally, let's create a function in Supabase that adds subscribers to your Mailchimp list.

  • Create a new function in Supabase.
  • In this function, make a POST request to the Mailchimp endpoint you got in step 4.
  • The body of this request should include the email of the new subscriber, with the status set to 'subscribed'.
  • Each time a new user signs up in your app, trigger this function with their email.

By following these steps, you should now be able to integrate your Supabase project with Mailchimp for running email marketing campaigns. When new users sign up on your platform, they will automatically get added to your Mailchimp subscriber list.
