This development guide walks you through everything you need to do to build a high-quality Next.js app integrated with Mailchimp. Check out the tasks below to get started. To save time, you can also use our boilerplate, which gives you a complete React codebase with all of these tasks done for you. Okay, let's dive in!

Tasks

  Create a Next.js API route at /pages/api/newsletter.js that receives the user's email address and adds it to your Mailchimp list using the mailchimp-api-v3 library. Then create a newsletter subscribe form using your component library of choice and have it submit the email value to /api/newsletter. Make sure you properly validate inputs, display any errors returned by Mailchimp, and to display a confirmation message once the email has been added.
