What it does
Sites that collect user registrations often keep their member data and their email lists in separate places, which means exporting, importing and manually matching records. This add-on places MailChimp subscription right inside the Profile Builder Register and Edit Profile forms, so people can sign up for your lists at the moment they create or update an account. It suits membership sites, community portals and any site that relies on user registration.
You map MailChimp form fields to Profile Builder fields for each list, so the details a user enters on your site carry over to the matching fields in MailChimp. You can add as many MailChimp fields to your forms as you need. Subscription can happen automatically, or users can confirm through MailChimp's double opt-in, and you decide whether automatically subscribed users receive a welcome email. A separate widget handles signups from visitors who have not registered.
Best for
- Membership sites that register users with Profile Builder
- Community portals growing a MailChimp newsletter list
- Site owners who want signup and subscription in one form
