New Mailchimp sign-ups arrive as leads in the project

Your Mailchimp lead URL

Your lead URL appears here when you open this page from the LeedsApp app: open the project, then Lead integrations and Mailchimp.

Set it up in Mailchimp

1
Open the audience settingsIn Mailchimp, click Audience, pick your audience in Current audience, then Manage Audience › Settings.
2
Create a webhookClick Webhooks, then Create New Webhook. Paste your LeedsApp lead URL in Callback URL.
3
Send only sign-upsUnder the update types, tick only Subscribes. Keep all the sources ticked. Click Save. Mailchimp then shows a secret key; you do not need it.
4
Ask for the phone numberOpen Signup forms, show the Phone Number field (Mailchimp adds it to every audience but hides it) and tick Required for Phone Number and First Name, so every lead has a name and a mobile number. Then sign up once yourself to test.

Lead source: Mailchimp. Only new subscribers are sent. People already in the audience are not sent again. A sign-up needs a phone number and a first name, or LeedsApp cannot save it.

If leads don't arrive

  • Check Subscribes is ticked in the webhook settings.
  • Mailchimp checks the URL when you save; if it refuses, copy the URL again from LeedsApp.
  • No lead arrives: check the Phone Number field is shown and required on your signup form, and that its merge tag is PHONE (Audience fields and *|MERGE|* tags).
  • Each audience has its own webhooks.
