How this automation works

Automatically add new Mailchimp subscribers to Ghost as members. This Applet runs whenever a new subscriber joins the selected Mailchimp list and creates a member on your Ghost site using the subscriber's email and name. It's ideal for publishers and site owners who want Mailchimp signups to gain access, receive newsletters, or be tracked in Ghost for engagement and membership management.
