About
This is just a really simple component that let's you use MailChimp's awesome email signup form but with a little bit more of a modern style. Normally for a component this simple I wouldn't really think to share it, but it ends up being really nice to use in things like Gatsby sites where you really don't want to bring a backend anywhere near your site. It's super easy to use - just follow the steps below to generate the url
prop you need to pass to the component.
Go to your MailChimp admin. Click on Create
, the Signup Form
. Now, choose your audience, and stay on the Embedded form
option and click Begin
.
On the next screen, you'll see some demos for some embedded forms MailChip is offering. We don't want those - but we do want to url
they bring. Go into the form and grab the url
from the <form></form>
action
attribute. For me, this looks something like the following:
https://XXXXX.us4.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&id=XXXXXXXXXX
This may look different in your case. Make sure you replace &
with an actual &
if it gets copied like that.
That's it! Just add an elementId
, title
, and an optional subtitle
and you're off.
You can see this form in action on my blog.
Notes
I looked into using the MailChimp API option, but that is not going to work from a purely static-type of site. So, while this does have your users leave the page, it ends up being a great option because you really don't have to do anything with any backend at all. Just make sure you have the proper site settings set up so it redirects users back to your blog or whatever. You do this on MailChimp's side.
