How to Connect Your Framer Forms to Mailchimp (Step-by-Step)
You already have a form on your Framer site. By the end of this page, every person who fills it in will land in your Mailchimp audience — with your design, your fields and your success state untouched.
What you need first
A published or draft Framer site with a form on it, and an audience already created in your Mailchimp account.
Step 1
Design your form in Framer as usual
Open the page your form should live on. Two placement rules matter, and they are the thing people most often get wrong:
Your form sits outside the page frame, beside it on the canvas.
The connector you add in step 2 sits inside the page frame.
The connector is what renders on the published site; it pulls in the form you point it at. If you drag your form onto the canvas beside the page and leave it there, you’re set.
Left: your form, loose on the canvas. Right: the connector, nested inside the page frame — see the Layers panel. The purple line is the link between them.
Step 2
Open the plugin and pick Mailchimp
Open the plugin. Framer menu → Plugins → Browse All, search for Framer Forms Connect.
Once it’s installed, Plugins → Run Recent Plugin is quicker.
Add Mailchimp. Drag it onto your page, or click the +. A Mailchimp Connector component lands on the canvas.
Wire the connector to your form. Drag from the purple dot on the edge of the connector onto your form. A purple line joins them, and the connector’s settings in the right-hand panel now name your form. If that field still says Select…, the link didn’t take — drag again.
Sign in. Click Sign in to Mailchimp in the plugin and approve the connection. No API key to copy.
No Mailchimp login? Use Don’t have the login details? Configure manually and paste the signup form’s embed code instead — ask your client to send it from Mailchimp. Everything else works the same, except the plugin can’t suggest field names for you.
Pick your audience. Mailchimp asks for an audience — its word for a subscriber list. Choose the one this form should feed.
Match the field names. The plugin lists every merge field in that audience with a Click to copy chip beside it. Copy each chip, select the matching input inside your Framer form, and paste it into the input’s Name property.
✔ Names are case-sensitive and exact. EMAIL is not email.
✔ The Name property is separate from the label and the placeholder. Those stay however you designed them.
Step 3
Test
Hit Publish, open the live URL and send a real submission. Testing on the published site is the only way to see what Mailchimp actually says back.
Fill it in as a visitor would.
A green line under the form means it went through:
Fill it in as a visitor would.
If something is off, you get the reason rather than a silent failure. A missing required field reads like this:
⚠ REQUIRED_FIELD: Error in 'EMAIL'. Required field 'EMAIL' is missing
Step 4
Publish
One last thing before you call it done. Select the Mailchimp Connector on the canvas and set Show Errors to No. That banner is a build-time diagnostic — useful to you, confusing to visitors. The plugin reminds you of this in the success message itself:
✅ Sent successfully! Disable "Show errors" in the component settings to remove this message
FAQ
Form works well on desktop, but collapses on mobile.
Set the wrapper's position as Fill in Framer instead of Fit.
How do I use a separate version of the form on mobile?
You'll need to create a separate form and hide the desktop version on mobile.
