When new form submission is received in Elementor Pro Form, add a new subscriber in Mailchimp
Each Elementor Pro form submission is sent to Mailchimp, which adds the person to your audience as a new member or updates them if they are already there, so form sign-ups reach your list without exports.

What this workflow does
Elementor Pro forms are a quick way to collect sign-ups on a WordPress page, but the people who fill them in still need to reach your Mailchimp audience. Exporting entries and importing them by hand means delays and missed subscribers. This workflow passes each submission to Mailchimp as it comes in.
The Elementor trigger fires when a visitor submits an Elementor Pro form and passes every field on. FlowMattic then runs Add New Member in Mailchimp. That action adds a new member to the list, or updates them if they already exist, so a repeat sign-up refreshes the existing member instead of creating a second one.
You map the form's email field into the step, along with any name fields you collect. Submissions made before import are not sent. Task History lists each run with what was sent to Mailchimp, which is the first place to look if someone doesn't appear in your audience.
Footer newsletter form on a blog
A small Elementor Pro form in the site footer sends every sign-up to your Mailchimp audience, ready for the next newsletter.
Lead magnet download page
Visitors enter their email to get a checklist. Each one joins your Mailchimp audience so you can send the follow-up emails yourself.
Event interest list
A landing page built in Elementor collects people interested in an upcoming event, and Mailchimp holds them for announcements.
How this workflow runs
What happens at each step once the workflow is on, and what you need before you import it.
Elementor New Form SubmissionStarts a run each time someone sends one of your Elementor Pro forms. Every field in the form travels with the run, ready to map into the Mailchimp step.
- Mailchimp Add New Member
Adds the person to your Mailchimp audience, or updates them if they already exist. Connect Mailchimp on import, then map the form's email field and any name fields.
What you need
- FlowMatticCore
- Elementor PluginPlugin
- Mailchimp AccountAccount
After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.
Make it yours
Changes worth making after you import it.
- Add an acceptance field to the Elementor form and a Filter after the trigger that continues only when it is checked, so only people who agreed reach Mailchimp.
- If one site has several Elementor Pro forms, confirm after import that the trigger is set to your sign-up form and not the contact form.
- Submit a test entry with your own email, then check Task History and your Mailchimp audience to confirm the member appears as expected.
Questions about this workflow
What if the Elementor form submitter is already in my Mailchimp audience?
Add New Member updates an existing member instead of adding a second one, so a repeat sign-up refreshes that person's details.
Does this need Elementor Pro?
Yes. The form widget the trigger listens to is part of Elementor Pro, which must run on the same WordPress site as FlowMattic.
Does Elementor still save or email the submission?
Yes. The workflow only listens for the submission, so the form's own actions after submit keep working as you set them.
Can I send Elementor sign-ups to more than one Mailchimp audience?
Add a second Mailchimp step after the first and point it at the other audience, mapping the same form fields.
