Create a Client Portal with Mailchimp Forms [How to Embed Mailchimp Forms]

With Foyer, you can embed apps like Mailchimp Forms in your client portal. So if you're looking for how to create a Mailchimp Forms client portal, using Foyer is a great way to get started.

By creating a client portal with Mailchimp Forms, you can centralize all your client and staff services into one place. That means you'll be getting less questions on "how do I access Mailchimp Forms?" and can spend more time focusing on what matters: running your business.

Let's get right into how you can create a client portal with Mailchimp Forms by embedding Mailchimp Forms using Foyer.

How to Embed Mailchimp Forms Into Your Client Portal

To embed Mailchimp Forms into your client portal, you have two options:

1. Embed a single Mailchimp Forms page for all users
2. Embed different Mailchimp Forms pages for each user

In Foyer, these are called "Global" and "Per User" customizations respectively. The quickest way to get started is to use a global app customization (the same Mailchimp Forms page for all users).

To get started, visit the Orgs page, then click "Foyer Apps". You'll see a screen similar to the one below.

Scroll to the bottom of the page to find the "Add App" button. After clicking, you'll see a dialog where you can select which app to add. There are two ways to set up Mailchimp Forms as a client portal:

1. Embed Mailchimp Forms directly within your client portal
2. Link to Mailchimp Forms from your client portal

Embedding Mailchimp Forms in your client portal is the most seamless way by keeping all your client interactiion right in your client portal.

To embed, you can use either the "Mailchimp Forms" app or just the "Embed" app. To link to Mailchimp Forms from a client portal (redirects directly to Mailchimp Forms), use the "Link" app.

After adding the Mailchimp Forms app, you'll see it appear on your list of enabled apps. To edit the app, you can click on the 3 dots on the new app's row, and select "Edit".

Then you can edit settings like the icon, label, routing (what web address the app is found at), visibility (who can see the app), and switch between "Global" and "Per User" customizations.

If you're looking to embed a different Mailchimp Forms pages for each user, you'll want to go with the "Per User" customization. Otherwise you can keep it as the default: "Global".

The "customization" is where you can set the link or code (iframe) to embed Mailchimp Forms into your client portal. You can edit the customization by clicking the 3 dots on your Mailchimp Forms app, and selecting "Edit Customization".

You can use Mailchimp Forms support documentation to find which pages can be embedded. Then just copy either the page link or the embed code directly into your App's customization field named "Link".

Click "Confirm" and your changes will be immediately applied across your entire organization.

You can add any number of apps, so if you need to embed multiple pages of Mailchimp Forms, just repeat the process.
