  1. 1

    Add the Mailchimp Trigger node

    Start with a Mailchimp Trigger node — connect your Mailchimp account, pick the Audience (list), and set the event to subscribe. This fires the workflow the moment a new subscriber arrives.

  2. 2

    Map the fields with a Set node

    Add a Set node after the trigger to shape the data cleanly. Create fields: email to {{ $json.data.email }}, first_name to {{ $json.data.merges.FNAME }}, and subscribed_at to {{ $now.toISO() }}. This turns the raw payload into tidy values your destination can use.

  3. 3

    Send it to Telegram

    Add a Telegram node set to operation Send Message. Connect your bot token (from @BotFather), set Chat ID to your channel or personal chat, and build the Text from the Set-node fields.

  4. 4

    Activate and test

    Click Activate in the top-right of the canvas. Trigger a test subscriber in Mailchimp, then confirm it appears in Telegram. Once it works, you're done — every new subscriber now flows through automatically.

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 Mailchimp and Telegram 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 subscriber 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 subscriber to more than one place at once?

Absolutely. Branch the workflow after the Set node: connect it to multiple destination nodes so the same subscriber lands in Telegram and, say, Slack or a spreadsheet simultaneously.
