Connect 123 Form Builder and Mailchimp

Turn 123 Form Builder submissions into Mailchimp audience members. FlowMattic adds the person when they agreed to hear from you, tags them by the interest they picked, and keeps their message as a note on the member. The workflows run on your own WordPress site, so each signup form can feed the audience without manual exports.

When 123 Form Builder fires New Form Submission, FlowMattic runs Add New Member in Mailchimp with the data from that event.

You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps

123 Form Builder and Mailchimp workflows you can build

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.

Add each 123 Form Builder submission to a Mailchimp audience

Newsletter, event and enquiry forms add the person to your audience with their name, so the list is ready for the next campaign without a CSV export.

Subscribe only people who ticked the consent box

A Filter checks the marketing consent field and stops the workflow when it is not ticked, so contact form entries do not end up on the newsletter by accident.

Tag new members by the interest they chose

After the member is added, a Router reads the topic dropdown and adds a matching tag, so each campaign goes only to people who asked about that topic.

Keep the enquiry message as a note on the member

Quote and contact forms carry a message. Adding it as a member note means whoever writes the follow-up can see what the person asked for in Mailchimp.

Handle unsubscribe requests sent through a form

Some audiences ask to leave by form rather than by link. A short request form removes the person from the audience, so nobody has to search for them in Mailchimp.

Tidy names before they reach your audience

People type names in all capitals or with extra spaces. Text Formatter fixes the case and trims them, so merge tags in your emails read properly.

Set up: submissions as Mailchimp members

At the end, each submission of your 123 Form Builder form adds the person to your Mailchimp audience.

  1. Connect Mailchimp

    Under Connects, add a Mailchimp connection with the account that owns your audience.

  2. Trigger on New Form Submission

    Create a workflow with the 123 Form Builder New Form Submission trigger, follow its instructions to link your form, and submit a test entry.

  3. Add the member

    Add Mailchimp Add New Member, choose the audience, and map email, first name and last name from the captured entry.

  4. Test and switch on

    Test with your own email, check the member in Mailchimp, then switch the workflow on.

Triggers and actions in this pair

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.

Good to know

  • 123 Form Builder has one trigger and no actions in FlowMattic, so every workflow here starts from a submission. Mailchimp events cannot change form entries.
  • Mailchimp's actions here add, tag, note and delete members but do not edit a member's fields. Use tags for anything that changes later.
  • Fields depend on your form, so the mapping above is an example.

Common questions

How do I connect 123FormBuilder to Mailchimp?

In FlowMattic, start a workflow with the 123 Form Builder New Form Submission trigger, then add Mailchimp Add New Member. Map the email and name fields to the audience, test with one entry and switch it on.

Can I add people to different audiences from one form?

Yes. Use a Router on a form field and give each path its own Add New Member step pointed at a different audience.

Can new members get a welcome email too?

Yes. Add an Email (SMTP) step after Add New Member, or add a tag with Add Member Tag and let a Mailchimp automation that starts on that tag send your welcome series.

Can I keep a copy of each submission outside Mailchimp?

Yes. Add a second step after Add New Member that writes the entry elsewhere, such as WP Tables on your own site, so you have the full answers even if the member later leaves the audience.
