  3. Click on “Create List”.
  4. Fill out the required information such as list name, default “From” email address, and more.
  5. Click on “Save”.

Tips:

  • Rename Your List: Give your list a descriptive name that is easily recognizable by you and others.
  • Add a Welcome Message: Consider creating an automated welcome email to send to new subscribers.
  • Segment Your List: If you have different types of subscribers, you can segment your list to send Targeted emails.

Step 3: Generate the Embed Code

Now that you have your mailing list set up, it’s time to generate the embed code that you will use in Webflow. Follow these steps:

  1. Click on the “Lists” tab at the top of the page.
  2. Select the desired mailing list from the list of options.
  3. In the submenu under your list name, click on “Signup forms”.
  4. Select “Embedded forms”.
  5. You can customize your form by selecting various options such as form type, fields, and more.
  6. Copy the generated embed code.

Step 4: Embed MailChimp in Webflow

With the embed code ready, let’s integrate MailChimp into your Webflow site. Here’s how:

  1. Login to your Webflow account and open your desired project.
  2. Select the page where you want to add the MailChimp form.
  3. In the left sidebar, click on “Add Element”.
  4. Select “Embed” from the list of options.
  5. Paste the MailChimp embed code into the provided field.
    • If you’re using a CMS collection page, make sure to wrap the embed code in a conditional statement to display the form only on certain pages.
  6. Save your changes and publish your Webflow site.

Troubleshooting:

If you’re experiencing any issues with the form not displaying correctly or not submitting data, make sure to check the following:

  • HTML Structure: Ensure that the MailChimp embed code is placed within the appropriate HTML tags and doesn’t conflict with other elements on your page.
  • CSS Styling: Review your CSS styles to ensure they are not overriding or interfering with the MailChimp form’s appearance.
  • JavaScript Conflicts: If you have custom JavaScript on your Webflow site, make sure it doesn’t clash with any MailChimp scripts.

Congratulations! You have successfully embedded MailChimp into your Webflow website.

Now you can start collecting email addresses from your visitors and engage with them through Targeted email campaigns. Remember to regularly check your MailChimp dashboard for new subscribers and analyze campaign performance for optimal results.
