Use HubSpot's integration with MailChimp

Last updated: January 10, 2024

Available with any of the following subscriptions, except where noted:

All products and plans

Connect your HubSpot account with MailChimp to add contacts who submit pop-up forms and non-HubSpot forms to your Mailchimp lists. You can also view Mailchimp email activities in contact records if the Mailchimp campaign meets the required conditions

Please note: the pop-up forms tool is being sunset and will be phased out. Starting 17th July, all StarterProfessional, and Enterprise users will no longer be able to create or clone pop-up forms:

  • It will not be possible to sync contacts from HubSpot to Mailchimp using the new CTAs tool
  • While users can still edit existing pop-up forms, it is recommended to switch to HubSpot's data sync to sync information between HubSpot and Mailchimp instead. 

Before you get started

When integrating with MailChimp, please note the following:

  • When using this integration, contacts can only be synced from HubSpot to Mailchimp and not vice versa. If you require a two-way sync of information between HubSpot and Mailchimp, learn more about using HubSpot's data sync instead. 
  • HubSpot will not retroactively add contacts to a Mailchimp list who submitted your pop-up form or non-HubSpot form before you connected your Mailchimp account and customized the form.
  • HubSpot will only send the contact's first name, last name, and email address to Mailchimp. 
  • HubSpot will not be able to sync with a Mailchimp list that has required merge tags because HubSpot does not send a value for these tags. It's recommended to sync your form with another Mailchimp list, or remove the required merge tags.
  • HubSpot will only trigger auto-response emails using Mailchimp's automation feature.
