Connect your app to Mailchimp
Connect your Lovable app to Mailchimp using a direct sign-in connection without copying API keys. This lets your app collect subscribers, update tags, and show campaign statistics.
Anyone building an app who wants to collect newsletter signups, manage email lists, or display campaign results.
Do this, in order
- 1
Open the Connectors page in your Lovable dashboard and select Mailchimp.
This opens the settings to start a new connection.
- 2
Click Connect on the Mailchimp connector page.
This opens the connection setup form.
- 3
Name your connection and select who in your workspace can access it under Sharing.
Naming identifies the connection inside Lovable, and sharing settings determine which team members can link it to their projects.
- 4
Click Connect at the bottom of the form and log in to Mailchimp to approve access.
This authorizes Lovable to communicate with your Mailchimp account.
- 5
In your project chat, ask Lovable to link your project to your Mailchimp connection and build your feature.
Your project needs to be linked to the authorized connection before it can read or write data to Mailchimp.
Paste this into your project
Use Mailchimp and build a newsletter signup form for my existing Product updates audience. Collect the person's email address and first name, add the website-signup tag, and require email confirmation before subscribing them. Show a message asking them to check their inbox after they submit the form.
Words decoded
- Audience
- A Mailchimp contact list where your subscribers and their details are stored.
- Segment
- A filtered subgroup of your email list based on specific conditions or criteria.
- Transactional email
- Automated one-to-one emails like receipts or password resets, which are handled separately from marketing newsletters.
Where people get stuck
- Do not use this connector for receipts or password reset emails; Mailchimp handles marketing audiences, while transactional emails use Mailchimp Transactional.
- Browser pop-up blockers may stop the Mailchimp sign-in window from opening during authorization.
- Your app users cannot sign into their own personal Mailchimp accounts; the app shares the single Mailchimp account authorized in the connector.
- Deleting the connection in Lovable does not automatically revoke authorization inside Mailchimp; you must remove Lovable's access in your Mailchimp settings as well.
