Connect Typeform and Mailchimp

Typeform gets people talking, and Mailchimp keeps the conversation going by email. FlowMattic adds each respondent to your audience and carries what they said along with them: tags for their choices, notes for long answers, events for journeys. It is built for marketers, course creators and agencies whose sign-up, quiz and feedback forms live in Typeform.

1. TriggerNew Form Submission
2. ActionAdd New Member

When Typeform 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

Typeform 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 Typeform respondent to a Mailchimp audience

Email and name go into the audience as soon as the form is submitted, so your welcome automation picks the person up without a CSV export.

Tag new members with the topics they picked

After the member is added, Add Member Tag applies one tag per choice from a multiple choice question, so a campaign about pricing only reaches people who asked about pricing.

Keep a long answer as a note on the member

Questions such as what are you struggling with are worth reading later. Add Member Note saves the text on the profile, where whoever replies by email can see it.

Place quiz takers in a segment by score

A Router reads the quiz score or outcome, and Add Member to Segment puts beginners, intermediates and experts in separate segments, each with its own follow-up series.

Start a Mailchimp journey when a survey is completed

Add Member Event records something like completed onboarding survey on the member. A Mailchimp journey that starts on that event can send the next step.

Update details for subscribers who already exist

For profile update forms sent to your list, Find Member checks the email and a Router runs Update Member for known people and Add New Member for anyone new.

Set up: respondents as members

At the end, every completed response to your Typeform adds the respondent to one Mailchimp audience.

  1. Add merge fields

    In Mailchimp, create merge fields for any answers you want on the profile, such as Role or Company size.

  2. Connect Typeform and Mailchimp

    Under Connects, add your Typeform account and the Mailchimp account that owns the audience.

  3. Trigger on New Form Submission

    Create a workflow with Typeform New Form Submission, choose the form and submit a test response so its answers are captured.

  4. Map Add New Member

    Add Mailchimp Add New Member, pick the audience, map email, name and merge fields, test and 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

  • Every workflow here starts from a Typeform response. Mailchimp triggers such as New Subscriber can start other workflows, but none of them can write back to Typeform.
  • Merge fields and segments must already exist in Mailchimp before you can map to them. Tags are created by name when first applied.
  • The answers you map come from your own form, so the mapping is an example. Remap after you change a question.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

Typeform and Mailchimp connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.

Answers travel with the person

Tags, notes and events carry what each respondent told you into Mailchimp, so later emails can use it.

No count on submissions

Runs are unlimited, so a quiz that goes around social media adds every taker on the same plan.

Your server in the middle

Responses pass from Typeform to Mailchimp through your own WordPress site, where the same workflow can also save a copy.

Common questions

Can a Typeform answer choose the Mailchimp tag?

Yes. Map the answer straight into Add Member Tag, or use a Lookup Table to turn answer text into the exact tag names you use.

What if the respondent is already in my audience?

Use Find Member first. A Router can then run Update Member for an existing person and Add New Member for someone new, so each person keeps one profile.

Can I send long answers to Mailchimp?

Yes. Short answers fit in merge fields. Longer ones are better kept with Add Member Note, which stores the text on the member profile.

Do Typeform hidden fields reach Mailchimp?

Yes. Hidden fields such as a source or campaign value arrive with the response and can be mapped into a merge field or used as a tag.

Can several Typeforms feed one audience?

Yes. Build a workflow per form pointed at the same audience, and tag each with the form name so you can tell where people joined.
