To add Mailchimp to a contact form, you'll need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Create a Mailchimp account and set up a list

- Fill in the list details, such as the list name, description, and email address.
Step 2: Get your Mailchimp API key
- Log in to your Mailchimp account and go to "Account" > "Extras" > "API keys".
- Click on "Create a key" and give your key a name.
- Copy the API key, you'll need it later.
Step 3: Add Mailchimp to your contact form
You can add Mailchimp to your contact form using one of the following methods:
Method 1: Using a plugin (e.g. Gravity Forms, Formidable Forms)
- Install a plugin that supports Mailchimp integration (e.g. Gravity Forms, Formidable Forms).
- Configure the plugin to connect to your Mailchimp account using your API key.
- Create a new form and add a Mailchimp field to it.
- Configure the Mailchimp field to subscribe users to your Mailchimp list.
Method 2: Using JavaScript and HTML
- Add the Mailchimp JavaScript library to your website by adding the following code to your HTML file:
<script src="https://cdn.mailchimp.com/js/jquery.form.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdn.mailchimp.com/js/mailchimp.js"></script>
- Create a form with a submit button and add a hidden field to store the user's email address:
<form id="contact-form"> <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name"> <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Email"> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> <input type="hidden" name="mc-embedded-members" value="1"> </form>
- Add the following JavaScript code to your HTML file to send the form data to Mailchimp:
$(document).ready(function() { $('#contact-form').submit(function(event) { event.preventDefault(); var formData = $(this).serialize(); $.ajax({ type: 'POST', url: 'https://us1.api.mailchimp.com/subscribe/', data: formData, success: function(data) { console.log('Form submitted successfully!'); }, error: function(xhr, status, error) { console.log('Error submitting form: ' + error); } }); }); });
- Replace the
us1
in the URL with your Mailchimp API key.
Step 4: Test your contact form
- Fill out the contact form and submit it.
- Check your Mailchimp list to see if the user has been successfully subscribed.
That's it! You should now have a contact form that sends data to Mailchimp.
