Sara M. the general answer will be using something like zapier or make.com to intercept the form submission and then doing something in mailchimp - but it depends on what it is you are trying to automate within mailchimp too.

Thank you Matt J.. Is this something that can be done with Webflow logic?
Sara M.

I don't know much about Webflow logic so it could be that totally doesn't make sense
Matt J.

I mean in theory yeah, are you just wanting to send some of the form data to mailchimp or?
Sara M.

No, my client wants an email series to get sent out when someone submits a form on his webflow site
Matt J.
·
interesting but what is the form?
Sara M.
·
there is a contact form on their website
Sara M.
·
when someone fills out the contact form they want an email to be sent from mail chimp to that person

regardless of the form though - I would think that basically you would still want to send the email to mailchimp - so the "trigger" could be within Webflow Logic - when this form is submitted - send the email to mailchimp. And then within Mailchimp you would setup the email campaign/funnel.

I've not had any luck with Webflow logic though - but regardless of what tool you use, Zapier/Make/Webflow logic - the trigger point is "form submission" and the data being sent, is the email that was submitted within the form. Then you'd have Mailchimp automations take it from there.

Matt J. you mean that Webflow logic doesn't work well?
Matt J.
