Overview

We are big fans of MailChimp. Like Supadü , MailChimp is an intuitive platform allowing the user to do lots of complicated things in a slick, user-friendly manner. MailChimp makes it easy to design exceptional email campaigns, share them on social networks, integrate with web services, manage subscribers/data sets track results and much more.

The MailChimp app in
Supadü allows you to create subscripton forms for your lists (and groups) which will automatically populate in your MailChimp account. This allows for quick sign ups and helps you capture more information about, and communicate with, your site's visitors.

Selecting and applying the app

To use this app, drag and drop the Apps option on the toolbar and select the MailChimp app.

Configuring the app

Once the app has been dragged onto the canvas, you will be taken into the app settings. You begin in Content by selecting your API key (this will need to be configured with our support team). You can then select: 1) the list you'd like and 2) the group (this is a segment within your list).

Click on the styling option to upload and select your subscription button images. If you forget to complete fields, as always, Supadu will tell you.


The options section gives you the ability to add the default guide information plus the messages you's like to show when someone has successfully or incorrectly added their email address.

To complete the set-up, click on apply. Your button and requiried fields will then be ready to use. The fields shown e.g. Email address or Firstname will miror the visable required fields set up in your particular MialChimp list/group.

Remember: to maximise your sign ups,  research your traffic sources (using tools such as Google Analytics) and place the app in prominent places within relevant pages. For example, if you have a page about banannas you should put your bannana lovers group sign up on that page.
