Getting your users who register on your WordPress site into your Mailchimp audience can be achieved with the WP User Manager registration forms and [Mailchimp addon](https://wpusermanager.com/addons/mailchimp/).

Once the Mailchimp addon has been [downloaded and installed](https://wpusermanager.com/article/149-mailchimp-addon-installation/), navigate to Users > Mailchimp to see the settings. You will need to enter your [Mailchimp API key](https://mailchimp.com/help/about-api-keys/) and save the changes to the access your lists.

Click 'Add List' to connect one of your Mailchimp lists (know as audiences in Mailchimp) to WP User Manager:

You can then choose how new users will be added to that list when they register on your site. The optin method has two options:

1. Automatically add users to a Mailchimp list when they register.
2. Allow users to opt-in to subcribing to a Mailchimp list when they register.

If you choose the second option, a checkbox will appear on your registration form to allow the users to confirm subscription:

You can customize the text used for the confirmation checkbox in the list settings:
