    Hello guys, hope everyone is doing fine.

    I have a few questions here and I'd appreciate some guidance. I do have a WP website with certain forms in it and I'd like to set up an automatic email to be sent once the form is filled. Now, I use Mailchimp for all my Email Marketing needs, I've set up an automated email with a Custom Event Workflow and a specific trigger, but I haven't seen a way to automatically update any of my lists with the emails of the people that do fill out any of my forms and I don't want to create specific forms for people to subscribe to a list...

    Is there a way I can get this done?
    Do I have to manually update the list on Mailchimp with the info of the visitors that fill out any of my forms?
    I appreciate any sort of tips or advice you can give me.

    Thanks!

    This can definitely be done. It can be done in a few ways. You can code it yourself or an easier way to do it is using an API collection tool like https://zapier.com/ which lets you make API and automation betweens loads of different programs. Plus it’s free.

    If your into automation then I would suggest this. I use this to automate my buffer posts to Wordpress status posts on my marketing blog http://myti.co.uk - hope that helps.
