Can You Have Multiple Mailchimp Embed Forms on Your Website?

[@LarrySnow]

Have you used more than one Mailchimp Embed form on different pages of your website? What were your results?

[@aniseannn]

Great Video!! Really helped! I was wondering if you knew how to auto generate product that a customer has purchased to show up in the email for a product review. Basically how to link each individual order to an automation email and then have that email send out automatically with there name and the products why purchased a few days after purchasing for a review?? Thank you so much

[@LarrySnow]

Hi Anise, thanks for the question. In basic terms: Step 1. You'll need to integrate Mailchimp with your eCommerce solution. Step 2. Once integrated, Mailchimp can then track purchases by contacts. Step 3. From there, you can set up automations based on specific product purchased to send email for a review after so many days from purchase date.

Hello! I have a question that is sort of related to this video - rather than embedded forms; the form builder. I currently have a sign up form created that's in the footer of my webpage and signs people up to my Yoga related email list. My question is, that if I go into the form builder and change the background, and change the name, and change where it sends people, and get the new link.... Will the first form I created and put in my footer stop working? The forms are throwing me off - because unlike surveys and email templates and journeys where you can see all the different things you've created and go in and edit them... The forms just seem to... replace the last one. It makes me nervous that when I create something new, something I previously set up with disappear. Thanks!

[@LarrySnow]

Hello! Thanks for the question. I think Mailchimp is the only email service provider that gives you just one signup form per audience list (grrr). However, in my testing, if you select the form fields, color, etc., and embed the code on your website, then go back in and make changes to the same audience list signup form, the original embedded form should still work as long as you didn't delete any audience fields that are being used by that form.

[@jacobmcfadden9751]

Thank you so much for making this tutorial. This was exactly what I was looking for.

[@LarrySnow]

You're very welcome!

[@katierouse7603]

But I can't use them both at the same time, correct? Like your chocolate one is now vanilla, even though the code is different?

[@LarrySnow]

Hi Katie, in my testing, yes, you can use two embedded forms simultaneously. The different tags stay with each embedded form.

[@rachell.2628]

I tried this and it worked but I think for only 3 embed forms.. the 4th one for me the tag isnt working :(

[@LarrySnow]

Thank you for sharing your experience! It's helpful to know the limit might be at 3 embed forms. I appreciate your input.

[@bmcconnon]

Tried this and it works for having the same form embedded in two different places with different tags. However, the form itself stays the same. There doesn't seem to be any way the two forms can have different fields. I wish MailChimp would allow multiple unique embed forms. Bummer.

[@LarrySnow]

Hi there - thanks for your comment and confirmation on multiple embed forms. You can select different audience form fields for each embedded form. For example, one embedded form might use email and first name from the available audience fields, another embedded form you might have email, first name, last name, birthday, etc. It all depends on what audience fields you have available to select from.

[@bmcconnon]

@@LarrySnow Ah, I see now. You can check certain fields to create the html embed code, but then need them all checked in Mailchimp when finished so all forms work correctly. I did this and it works! Thanks so much for the video and the response!

[@LarrySnow]

You’re very welcome!

[@JulieBernsteinEngelmannArt]

Thanks for your clear video. Remaining question: with free Mailchimp, is it possible for the two different embed forms to go to two different Confirmation Thank You pages, e.g. so you can automatically deliver different freebies depending on which they signed up for?

[@LarrySnow]

Hi there! 👋 Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, you can only set one Confirmation Thank You page for each audience list. However, you can use the different tags from the embed forms to set up a one-off automation email if you have access to Classic Automation on the free account.

[@JulieBernsteinEngelmannArt]

@@LarrySnow Thanks so much for the definitive answer! You have saved me a lot of time!!

Thanks, Larry. This was helpful. I'm trying to do a few things with Mailchimp (and Divi Builder). I'd like to have: 1. - a lead magnet sign-up 2. - two different price-lists 3. - and a contact me/like to work w me I'd like each to have a different tag so that I can, hopefully, automatically add different segments to my list and serve them with slightly different messaging. Is it possible then to create new contacts, tag them and segment them? Or do I have to segment them manually as they come in?

[@LarrySnow]

Glad it was helpful! Yes! Tagging new contacts is very possible. You can try the embed form with tag for the lead magnet sign up. Then apply automation using the tag as the trigger. Not sure how a price list applies to Mailchimp? For the contact form you can try another embed form with a different tag (turn off JavaScript) or use a form plugin (free or premium - I'm very fond of Jotform 😀) that will allow you to add a tag. Segmentation (aka filtering) is something you do to organize your list - so it is a manual process in that you do it once to set it up. For instance, you could segment your audience by geolocation and/or a particular tag to then send an email campaign to that segment. Another example, create a segment of the audience that hasn't opened any of the last 5 campaigns so that you can send a re-engagement email campaign. How the embed forms and other plugins "play" with Divi - I don't know as I never used it.

[@ArpitPatel-j6c]

Hello Larry, I have two different forms (Request a Quote form and Contact us form) on my website which I want to integrate with two different categories in mail chimp, I want to use mail chimp API for this instead of embedded form. How can I do this. Should I need to send tag in API request? correct?

[@LarrySnow]

API or a third party connection like Zapier, Pabbly, etc. depending on if it can connect to the form/website.

[@debbiemr6340]

Hi Larry, thank you for this video, it’s very helpful. I have a question please. I have 3 websites that all have similar clients, and I have one audience in MC. Would this method work? Can I embed this form on each of the websites using the 3 different tags. I would then create 3 separate journeys in MC that would be triggered by each of the tags? TIA 😊

[@LarrySnow]

Hi there! Thanks for the question. Yes, absolutely that would work. 👍

Hey Larry! Thanks for you video. How can we create two different embed forms and link two different automated emails with it? is it possible? or i will have to create two separate audiences?

[@LarrySnow]

Hi there! 👋 You can use the different tags from the embed forms to set up a one-off automation email if you have access to Classic Automation on the free account or Customer Journeys if you have a paid marketing plan.

[@itsrache]

Hi Larry, thank you for this. Question.. can we have 2 different thank you page for that 2 tags you created? for example chocolate will receive a ty page thanking for signing up to get the free chocolate, then the other one will say "thanking for signing up to get the free vanilla"?

[@LarrySnow]

You're very welcome. Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, while you can have multiple embed forms on your website, you only have one thank you page per audience list. However, you can direct specific emails based on the tag through Customer Journey automation.

[@introduceme.tomyself]

how do you do this?@@LarrySnow

[@maulcs]

@@LarrySnow That's so nonsensical, I'm very disappointed by Mailchimp - these are basic options that should be available.

[@LarrySnow]

@@maulcs I absolutely agree. Every other ESP I have tried (Omisend, Mailerlite, ActiveCampaign, Aweber, ConstantContact to name a few) has options for creating multiple forms. Why Mailchimp does not is beyond me. 🤷‍♂

[@kdamama3]

Super helpful video! Thank you! I'd like to bypass the Thank You page of the Mailchimp Embed Form after a client subscribes. Do you know if this is possible? For example, show the "Success you're subscribed" message on the same page in place of the form, and have them stay on the same website page instead of being taken to the Thank You page? Thanks! :)

[@LarrySnow]

Hi Karissa! I'm glad you found the video was helpful! Thanks for the question. The thank you page is an option within the sign up form builder, "Forms and Responses" drop down list, called "Confirmation Thank You Page." If you don't have a URL in that field, then a subscriber should see the "Thanks for subscribing" message instead.

[@kdamama3]

@@LarrySnow Awesome, thank you!!

[@kdamama3]

@@LarrySnow Can you have different redirect URLs for different embed forms (using different tags) while bypassing the "Confirmation Thank You Page"?

[@LarrySnow]

@@kdamama3 Unfortunately, no. Just one confirmation thank you page per audience list. 😥

[@EliteJewelryCorp]

both forms will work at a time?

[@LarrySnow]

Yes - that is what I discovered in my testing. Two (or perhaps more) separate embed forms with different tags. You may need to uncheck "Use JavaScript" option for best results.

[@maulcs]

Problem is I need separate landing pages for each form. Absolutely insane that this isn't an option, and you have to go digging around in landing page spaghetti code that has all sorts of JS nonsense.

[@LarrySnow]

Yep! I agree.

[@maulcs]

​@@LarrySnow I was actually able to get their form code from the landing pages working on my landing pages, but it definitely wasn't easy, and no real customization could be done beyond things like width. But they won't even let me send emails - I imported a clean list we've been sending to for years in Keap, and their system is clearly designed to shut down any imported list sends by default. They're dictating what I need to have on my pages/forms down to the micrometer, and refuse to let me send without having each contact reconfirm their subscription - which has to be sent with outside software. This is by far the worst email/landing page system I've ever used.

[@inakiwebtube]

But how can you create other embedded form with diff fields?

[@LarrySnow]

Just go back to the embed form process and select different fields from your audience, add/select a different tag, and copy the code to your website.

[@FinRust]

Hi Larry, thank you for this very helpful video! Do you know if you can send different automated e-mails to people who signed up via different embedded forms (with different tags) within the same audience? For example: a person with the tag 'vanilla' receives a unique automated e-mail with subject 'vanilla' in audience 'TEST'. If the same person then also signs up with the tag 'chocolate' within the audience 'TEST', is it possible that he than receives another unique automated e-mail with subject 'chocolate'?

[@FinRust]

Hi Larry, I've found the answer by testing. This IS possible! :D

[@LarrySnow]

Excellent!

[@introduceme.tomyself]

how did you do this?@@FinRust

[@StephanieGustafson-ux3gq]

Can I have two different forms in two different places with two different tags?

[@LarrySnow]

Hi there! Thanks for the question. Yes, you can have 2 forms (switch out which audience fields you want to include/exclude), with different tags, embedded on different web pages.

[@rachelstelter6449]

so helpful, thank you!

[@LarrySnow]

You're very welcome.

[@In-Parking]

Hay Larry, thanks for the awesome video. Something I'm trying to understand is if it is possible to have multiple different forms using Mailchimp. Or is it a matter of: You can only use one embedded form at a time?

[@LarrySnow]

With this testing, I was able to use two embed forms with different tags (vanilla/chocolate). To do so, it is best to disable the JavaScript option. You could certainly use other form plugins that connect to the Mailchimp API with the capability to add tags.

[@magicgardenmagicwomen]

Thx Larry! Love the video, and I especially love chocolate made of gobbledygook! 😉

[@LarrySnow]

[@lady-lizzy]

But can you have two embedded forms on the ONE page?

[@LarrySnow]

I don't see why not, although that might be confusing to the visitor of the web page.

[@MrGokuuuuuu]

This has one big weakness. One email can subscribe only for one tag, if he tries subscribe also for second form, it will break. This to a degree make whole multi form option unusable.

[@LarrySnow]

Thanks for your comment. That did not happen in my testing. I used the same email address, two different forms with different tags, JavaScript turned off, and received both tags. In any case, Mailchimp's latest update now allows you to create multiple forms, making this process moot.

[@MrGokuuuuuu]

@@LarrySnow I was on this just now. If email is subscribed first time it got tag A or B. But second time in different form, nothing happened :( . So only possible way would be probably to create 2 separate audences? Or find something better than mailchimp.

[@LarrySnow]

Strange that's happening. If you're looking for an alternative I recommend giving MailerLite a try.
