Contact Form 7 Mailchimp Pro routes submissions from supported WordPress forms to selected Mailchimp lists. Supported integrations include Contact Form 7, WPForms, Elementor Forms, Ninja Forms, Formidable Forms, Contact Form Entries, and other popular contact form plugins.

Accounts, feeds, and member records

Add a Mailchimp account with its API key in the “Mailchimp Accounts” area. Multiple accounts can be connected. In “Mailchimp Feeds,” select a list for a form and map submitted values to Mailchimp fields. Available merge fields are shown during setup.

When a submission is sent, the plugin can create a Mailchimp member if no matching member exists or update an existing member. Members can be added as subscribed or pending. You can also send one or more form fields as member notes.

Set rules for sending submissions

Supported forms can send entries automatically on submission. Filters let you base sending on visitor input, such as a checkbox for newsletter subscriptions. This lets the form response determine whether an entry is sent to Mailchimp.

A saved Contact Form Entries submission can also be sent manually with the “Send to Mailchimp” action. Use it when an entry was not sent initially or needs to be sent again.

Check status and resend entries

The “Mailchimp Logs” area records whether each form submission was sent. Review an entry’s status there and resend it when needed.

Mailchimp fields and visitor data in Pro

The Pro edition includes Mailchimp tags, GDPR fields, the phone number field, custom Mailchimp fields, and interest groups. Supported submissions can also include Google Analytics parameters and visitor geolocation. Lookup options can retrieve a lead’s email and phone using email and phone lookup APIs.

1. Open “Mailchimp Accounts” and add an account with its Mailchimp API key. Connect additional accounts if needed.
