Adding a MailChimp form to your Webflow website can be a powerful tool for growing your email list and staying connected with your audience. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of integrating MailChimp into your Webflow site.
Step 1: Sign up for MailChimp
If you don’t already have a MailChimp account, head over to their website and sign up for a free account. Once you’re signed in, navigate to the dashboard.
Step 2: Create a Mailing List
To create a mailing list in MailChimp, click on the “Lists” tab in the top navigation menu. Then, click on “Create List” and follow the prompts to set up your list. Make sure to give it a descriptive name so you can easily identify it later.
Step 3: Design Your Form
Now that you have your mailing list set up, it’s time to design your form. In MailChimp, go to the “Lists” tab again and select the list you just created. Then click on “Signup forms” and choose the type of form you want to use.
You can customize various elements of your form such as fields, labels, and buttons. Take some time to explore the options available and make adjustments that align with your website’s design aesthetic.
Tips:
- Bold text: Use bold text sparingly to highlight important points or instructions.
- Underlined text: Underline any clickable elements or links mentioned in the tutorial.
- Bold text: Use bold text again for additional tips or important reminders.
Step 4: Generate the Embed Code
After you have customized your form, it’s time to generate the embed code. In MailChimp, go to the “Embed forms” tab and select the appropriate form type for your Webflow site. Copy the provided HTML code.
Step 5: Add the Form to Webflow
Now that you have the embed code, navigate to your Webflow project and open the page where you want to add the MailChimp form. In Webflow, you can add custom code by selecting an HTML element and clicking on “Settings” in the right panel.
Paste the MailChimp embed code inside the appropriate section of your HTML structure. For example, if you want to place it within a div element, make sure to paste it between the opening and closing div tags.
Troubleshooting:
- Bold text: If you encounter any issues with the form not displaying correctly, double-check that you pasted the code in the correct location.
- Bold text: If necessary, reach out to MailChimp support for further assistance or consult their documentation for troubleshooting tips.
Step 6: Preview and Publish Your Changes
Once you have added the MailChimp form code to your Webflow site, preview your changes to ensure everything is working as expected. Test out submitting a test entry and check if it gets added to your MailChimp mailing list successfully.
If everything looks good in preview mode, publish your changes to make them live on your website.
