Formidable MailChimp - Form Integration with Mailchimp

Formidable MailChimp is an extension that allows you to directly connect your WordPress forms to your MailChimp account. The plugin automates subscriber data submission, field mapping, and list management, making contact collection and segmentation faster and error-free. The integration works with popular form widgets and shortcodes, maintaining full control over consent collection logic and opt-in conditions.

Functionalities and possibilities

• Mapping form fields to Mailchimp fields (merge tags) – first name, last name, email, custom fields.
• Send data to multiple Mailchimp lists at once and select the target list per form.
• Mailchimp tag and group support for precise contact segmentation by acquisition source.
• Consent options and GDPR compliance – ability to add a checkbox with required consent before saving.
• Option to enable/disable double opt-in depending on campaign preferences.
• Conditional subscriptions – subscriptions to the list only when specific form rules are met.
• Support for webhooks and mapping of custom e-commerce fields or leads.
• Registering new subscribers and updating data of existing contacts.
• Test sends and preview Mailchimp fields without leaving the forms panel.

User benefits

Formidable MailChimp streamlines the process of acquiring and managing mailing lists, reducing manual work and the risk of errors resulting from manual contact import. Thanks to the integration, form data flows directly into MailChimp, preserving field structure, speeding up email campaign launches and personalizing communications. Automatic tagging and grouping allows for the creation of precise targeted lists, while support for multiple lists and opt-in conditions allows for running parallel campaigns for different audience segments.
