Hey, I set up a survey with Typeform with a built-in opt-in and connected it with mailchimp to transfer the mail addresses. Now I wonder how to manage the onboarding process for the new subscribers. Does Zapier automatically do the double-opt-in? And can I create a welcome mail with a promo code included in Zapier, that I give away for signing up or do I have to do that in Mailchimp?
Thanks ahead for your help to clarify my questions.
Cheers

Hi
If your MailChimp list has double opt-in enabled, you won't see any subscribers added by your zap until after that new subscriber clicks through the double opt-in email. However, your task history will show a successful task immediately, even if the subscriber does not confirm the double opt-in email.

The welcome email would be created in Mailchimp, then could be triggered by adding a Tag to a Subscriber.
It’s unclear about where the requirements of the promo code and where that would be generated and if it’s unique per Subscriber.

Zapier does not do double opt in. you can read about that here: https://zapier.com/help/doc/common-problems-mailchimp#subscribers-wont-show-up-in-list-immediately-if-you-have-double-opt-in
I would send the welcome email from Mailchimp, it should be possible to create an automation within Mailchimp that handles this. However, Zapier can also send campaign emails through Mailchimp so that might be an option as well.
Enter your username or e-mail address. We'll send you an e-mail with instructions to reset your password.
