Connect Facebook Lead Ads to Mailchimp — Send Each New Lead Instantly
Every time a new Facebook Lead Ads lead comes in, n8n instantly captures the details and add them as a subscriber in Mailchimp — no manual exports, no missed data, no code.
- 1
Add the Facebook Lead Ads Trigger node
Start with a
Facebook Lead Ads Triggernode — connect your Facebook account via OAuth, then setPageto the Facebook Page running your ads andFormto the specific lead form you want to capture. This fires the workflow the moment a new lead arrives. - 2
Map the fields with a Set node
Add a
Setnode after the trigger to shape the data cleanly. Create fields:full_nameto{{ $json.field_data.find(f => f.name === 'full_name')?.values[0] }},emailto{{ $json.field_data.find(f => f.name === 'email')?.values[0] }}, andphoneto{{ $json.field_data.find(f => f.name === 'phone_number')?.values[0] }}. This turns the raw payload into tidy values your destination can use. - 3
Send it to Mailchimp
Add a
Mailchimpnode set to operationCreate/Updatea member. Connect your account, pick theAudience, setEmailfrom the Set node, and map merge fields likeFNAME. Set status tosubscribed. - 4

Frequently asked questions
Do I need any coding skills to set this up?
No. n8n is a visual, drag-and-drop tool. You connect your Facebook Lead Ads and Mailchimp accounts, point the nodes at the right form/sheet/channel, map the fields, and activate. No code required.
What happens if my n8n workflow is off when a lead comes in?
It depends on the source. Services like Stripe, Shopify and HubSpot retry webhook deliveries for a period, so events are processed once the workflow is back on. For the most reliable capture, run this on n8n Cloud (always online) or keep your self-hosted instance up.
Can I send each lead to more than one place at once?
Absolutely. Branch the workflow after the Set node: connect it to multiple destination nodes so the same lead lands in Mailchimp and, say, Slack or a spreadsheet simultaneously.
