Having trouble automating email to subscribers

I have a small checkbox in my store checkout process for folks to subscribe to my email list but I cannot figure out how to automate the email process because that particular automation isn’t available (in other words, I can’t create a new automation for “customers who click “subscribe”” - it’s nowhere to be found).

Am I missing something? Also, I’m wanting to send these emails through Mailchimp so ideally, I need a way to immediately add these subscribers to a list in Mailchimp so that the automated emails can begin.

They are being added somewhere in your CRM. They are most likely getting tagged from your flow too. You can always export your contacts and filter by whatever tag the ‘subscribe’ form uses and import that into Mailchimp.

To do this automatically will require a bit of Velo code. It’s possible, and the function you are looking for is called “wix-fetch”. Here is a link where someone did it a few years back: https://www.wix.com/velo/forum/community-discussion/integrating-mailchimp-with-wixcode-using-wix-fetch

Thank you so much, Brett! I may give this a shot today.
