  1. 1

    Add the WooCommerce Trigger node

    Start with a WooCommerce Trigger node — connect your WooCommerce store (URL + consumer key/secret) and set Event to order.created. This fires the workflow the moment a new order arrives.

  2. 2

    Map the fields with a Set node

    Add a Set node after the trigger to shape the data cleanly. Create fields: order_id to {{ $json.id }}, email to {{ $json.billing.email }}, total to {{ $json.total }}, and status to {{ $json.status }}. 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.

    Activate and test

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

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

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