How to receive data from Mailchimp in your account using Mailchimps integration, Zapier and the Easy LMS API.
We assume you have a Zapier account. We use Zapier as the middle man to process the webhooks.
Set up your Exam
Set up your exam so it's invite only.
First, we need a trigger
This is where Zapier get's its data. In this case your Mailchimp account.
Log in to your account in Zapier and create a new zapp.
As a Trigger you choose Mailchimp. Choose the New Subscriber as Event and Continue.
Choose your Mailchimp account or connect a new account. Continue.
Choose an audience. Continue.
Test trigger.
In the next step Mailchimp needs a new subscriber so add one to the list (audience) you selected in step 3. Wait until Zapier has pulled the data.
Now we're going to add an action
This is where Zapier will send the data it got from MailChimp. In this case, it's your API within Easy LMS.
Choose webhooks
As Event select POST
For the URL choose the endpoint of the API you want to use. Go to your Exam > Integrations > API. For instance: https://www.onlinequizcreator.com/?r=api/exam/addParticipant
For the Payload Type choose json
In the data section we need the following data:
apikey: the key from your Easy LMS account to be found in Account > API access or in the Exam > Integrations > API.
email: use Email from the Mailchimp list.
name: choose Merges Fname and Merges Lname from the Mailchimp list.
examId: the ID from the exam you want to invite your subscriber to. Go to the Exam > Publish and copy the numbers from the end of the URL.
The rest of the fields can be left empty.
Continue.
Publish.
You're done
You're done. Test the integration by subscribing to your list and see that you are added as invited participant in the Access tab.
