Open the app > click Settings > hover on Mailchimp settings > click Config
In Mailchimp API key field, enter API key created in the Steps 1 above
Click Save to update the changes
🧾 Steps 3 - Select Mailchimp list (form)
Before Map the data, please make sure you create the contact list (a signup form) in Mailchimp to connect the data from the Globo form with that list.
Follow this link to know more.
1. Open the app > click Forms > open the form you want to deal with
2. Click Integration icon on the left side > enable Mailchimp by toggling it on and clicking its name
3. select a Mailchimp list in List dropdown
🔗 Step 4 — Map Form Fields to Mailchimp Fields
Select the value of the Globo form (on the right) to connect it to the fields in Mailchimp (on the left)
The Email value is compulsory here to create a new profile in Mailchimp
The other values are optional. Please map them based on your needs
For example: the First name field of Mailchimp is matched with First name field of the form, the Last name field of Mailchimp is matched with Last name field of the form.
🚀 Step 5 — Publish & Test Your Form
If the form is already published, you just need to save the form after making changes.
✅ How It Works
After a user submits the form, the form sends data to Mailchimp.
Mailchimp creates or updates the subscriber profile.
Log in to your Mailchimp account > go to Audience > All contacts.
Open the list you integrated with your form > check for the new subscriber profile to confirm data has been added successfully.

❓ FAQs
Can I add subscribers to multiple Mailchimp audiences?
No. Mailchimp allows each contact to belong to one primary audience. But you can use tags or segments inside Mailchimp to organize subscribers.
Do I need an email field?
Yes. Mailchimp requires an EMAIL field to add a subscriber.
Will existing Mailchimp profiles be updated?
Yes. If a profile already exists, the app will update the fields you mapped.
