Webflow to mailchimp help

At a glance

The community members are seeking help to connect Webflow to MailChimp. They have tried using the Webflow Logic feature, but found it to be overly complex. An alternative suggestion is to use the raw MailChimp HTML embed, style it with Webflow classes, and add any necessary JavaScript in a separate embed. Another tip is to store the Webflow form on the style guide page to avoid issues with the styles manager cleanup tool. The community members also mention trying to use the MailChimp API directly, but encountered issues with Postman and Webflow. They are considering using Make.com as a potential solution.

πŸ™ have been stuck on this for hours 😒 any help appreciated

do you have further context of what it is you are trying to do exactly (Besides connect mailchimp to webflow using Logic) - but there might be other solutions besides Logic.

for example, I tried the same approach as you but Logic is half-baked and seemed overly complex for something as simple as a newsletter subscription form. So instead, what I do is I take the mailchimp embed - the raw HTML, and attach native webflow styled form and form field classes to the HTML and by proxy of a native webflow form, I can style this mailchimp form. If the embed comes with any JS, just put that into a separate embed element. You should be able to preview the mailchimp form right in designer. Be sure not to remove any classes or IDs from the HTML form - its a bit finicky to get styled correctly sometimes - but if you've figured out Postman and spent hours on that, I don't think this route will be too much of a challenge for you.

One tip with this route is make sure to store the webflow native form that is your proxy, on the style guide page so that you can use the styles manager cleanup tool without worry of deleting your classes.

Thanks

Client has a form that collects tons of on boarding data for a physio clinic.
They want to also add subscriber details to mailchimp.
I hoped to use the API connection to create new subscribers in MC.
I did something similar with ClickUp just last week and it worked.

I can connect to the API using terminal on Mac, but using Postman or Webflow doesn't work (no api key found type error).

I might just try and use Make which I know will be straight forward. I only want a few fields to go to MC so your suggestions might not work in my situation. Thanks for suggesting it though :)

got it, yeah prime example of using Logic for sure. I would advise on the Make.com route as well.
