How to Set Up Tally and Mailchimp Integration: Complete Step-by-Step Tutorial
In today's business, fast and error-free processing of lead data is the key to effective work. If you use online forms and marketing platforms to interact with prospects, implementing automation is an effective solution to increase productivity. In this article, we will look at how to set up Tally and Mailchimp integration using our online connector ApiX-Drive.
Tally and Mailchimp Integration—Higher Level Automation
There are four levels of automation of internal business processes:
- Zero level. No automation. All data processing is done manually. Example: After receiving lead data from a Tally form, a marketer enters it manually in Mailchimp. This is a time-consuming process that also carries the risk of errors and data loss.
- First level. Partial automation. Only individual business processes are automated. There is no synchronization. Example: Data is automatically entered into a CRM or spreadsheet but must be manually transferred to Mailchimp.
- Second level. Integration automation. All new contacts from Tally forms automatically transfer to the Mailchimp mailing list. Example: After filling out a Tally form to register for an announced event, customers receive a series of email notifications. First, they receive a confirmation of registration, then a reminder about the event and special offers, if available.
- Third level. Intelligent automation. Lead data is transmitted and processed automatically. Contacts are grouped and segmented and included in trigger-based personalized mailings, the results of which are analyzed for optimization. At this level, the pre-built integration becomes the basis for implementing marketing strategies.

Mailchimp and Tally integration provides stable automatic data transfer from web forms directly to the marketing platform. Lead contact details are sent to the mailing list shortly after submission for further sending of reminders, special offers, or materials. This approach is especially important for companies that generate leads regularly. It allows them to quickly launch marketing campaigns without delays or data loss.

the Webhooks section and click Connect.

Paste the copied URL and click Connect again.

Specify a name for the new key and click Generate Key.

Copy the API
key.

Paste the API key into the appropriate ApiX-Drive field. Once entered, click Continue.

When the account shows up in the active accounts list, select it and hit Continue.

Pick the list that will receive the new contacts.

Mailchimp
fields for creating new contacts will be displayed. Map variables from Tally to
these fields by selecting the appropriate value from the dropdown menu.
