Authentication
The authentication is based on API Key. You need two different API Keys based on the capabilities you are using.
Add Contact
You have to retrieve the API Key from your Mail Chimp account, by navigating from the account menu on the bottom left corner to Account & Billings --> Extras --> API Keys. If you don't have an API Key, please create a new one.
Send Email
You have to retrieve the API Key from your Mandrill account, by navigating from the account menu on the bottom left corner to Settings --> SMTP & API Info. If you don't have an API Key, please create a new one.

Add Contact
You need to define the list where the contact will be added and the subscription status that could be:
Subscribed
Unsubscribe
Cleaned
Pending
Transactional
Send email
You need to define the template that will be used to send emails. You can add additional properties and outputs based on the properties defined in the template selected.
Sending email requires transactional email access, so the API key you use will be a Mandrill API key.

You can choose which email events you want to track while creating the webhook.
