Connect Gmail to Mailchimp
When a new email arrives in Gmail, Genexti adds a subscriber to the right audience in Mailchimp — automatically, with an AI writing the content on the way through. You describe it in plain English; there's nothing to code and no separate AI subscription to buy.
The inbox is where work arrives and where it quietly dies; routing it out is the whole game. Your list grows automatically and stays segmented without manual imports.

Three of the most common ways teams wire these two together. Each one is a single workflow in Genexti.
A new email arrives → Add a subscriber to the right audience
The moment a new email arrives in Gmail, Genexti reads the email, lets an AI write it up properly, and adds a subscriber to the right audience in Mailchimp.
An email matching a label lands → Tag the subscriber by source
The moment an email matching a label lands in Gmail, Genexti reads the email, lets an AI write it up properly, and tags the subscriber by source in Mailchimp.
An enquiry hits your shared inbox → Update an existing subscriber
The moment an enquiry hits your shared inbox in Gmail, Genexti reads the email, lets an AI write it up properly, and updates an existing subscriber in Mailchimp.
How to connect Gmail to Mailchimp
Describe it in plain English
Type what you want — "when a new email arrives in Gmail, add a subscriber to the right audience in Mailchimp". Genexti's AI builds the whole workflow, both steps included, and lays it out on the canvas so you can see exactly what it will do.
Connect both accounts once
Connect Gmail and Mailchimp from the connections screen. You do this once — every future workflow reuses the same connection, and credentials are stored encrypted, never in the workflow itself.
Run it, then turn it on
Run it once and inspect the real output of each step. When it looks right, activate it. From then on it runs by itself, and you can see every execution with its full input and output.
Why use Genexti for this instead of Zapier?
Most tools can move a email from Gmail into Mailchimp. The difference is what happens in between. Genexti includes the AI, so the email arrives in Mailchimp already summarised, categorised and written up like a person did it — not as a raw dump of fields. And because the AI is part of the platform, it isn't metered separately or billed per task.
Genexti is also a website builder and a code IDE in the same account, so the same subscription that runs this automation also builds the site the email came from.
Gmail to Mailchimp — FAQ
How do I connect Gmail to Mailchimp?
In Genexti you describe it in plain English — "when a new email arrives in Gmail, add a subscriber to the right audience in Mailchimp" — and the AI builds the workflow, both steps included. You connect each account once and it runs on its own from then on.
Do I need to write any code?
No. There is nothing to install and no script to maintain. If you'd rather see the detail, every step opens into an advanced view where you can edit fields, expressions and the raw JSON — but you never have to.
Can the AI write the content that goes into Mailchimp?
Yes, and that's the difference. Genexti includes the AI, so an AI step can summarise the email, pull out the fields that matter and phrase a subscriber properly before it reaches Mailchimp. There's no separate AI subscription and no per-task AI charge.
Is connecting Gmail and Mailchimp free?
You can build and run this on the free plan — no credit card. Paid plans raise the limits, but the AI is included on every plan rather than billed per task.
