  1. 1

    Add the Google Sheets Trigger node

    Start with a Google Sheets Trigger node — connect your Google account, choose the Spreadsheet and Sheet, and set Trigger On to Row Added. This fires the workflow the moment a new row arrives.

  2. 2

    Map the fields with a Set node

    Add a Set node after the trigger to shape the data cleanly. Create fields: each column you care about, e.g. name to {{ $json.Name }} and email to {{ $json.Email }} — the column headers become the field keys. This turns the raw payload into tidy values your destination can use.

  3. 3

    Send it to Mailchimp

    Add a Mailchimp node set to operation Create/Update a member. Connect your account, pick the Audience, set Email from the Set node, and map merge fields like FNAME. Set status to subscribed.

  4. 4

    Activate and test

    Click Activate in the top-right of the canvas. Trigger a test row in Google Sheets, then confirm it appears in Mailchimp. Once it works, you're done — every new row 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 Google Sheets and Mailchimp accounts, point the nodes at the right form/sheet/channel, map the fields, and activate. No code required.

Can I filter which rows get sent to Mailchimp?

Yes. Add an `IF` node between the Set node and the Mailchimp node with a condition (for example, only send when an amount is above a threshold or a field equals a value). Wire the TRUE branch to Mailchimp and leave FALSE empty to skip the rest.

Can I send each row to more than one place at once?

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