# New subscriber
1. **Select MailChimp** as your source under “New flow” in the “Gears” section of your GearPlug app.
2. **Pick the connection** you wish to use and click “Continue.” You may also create a new connection under “Create a connection.” GearPlug will make a quick test to verify that the connection works.
{% hint style="info" %}
GearPlug will check whether the connection functions properly before moving on. If it doesn’t, you won’t be able to continue setting up your Gear.
{% endhint %}
3. **Choose “New subscriber”** as your action. Then, pick the audience from which you want to draw information. Click “Create” and wait for the pop-up message.
4. **Create a contact in MailChimp** inside your chosen audience so that GearPlug can test the connection. This will execute the action’s trigger: a new entry.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Create an entry in MailChimp**: GearPlug needs a new record to test whether it can extract the data successfully. After this record, all future entries will be registered automatically.
{% endhint %}
5. **Review the data** to make sure all fields have the right information. Then, click “OK.”
{% hint style="info" %}
**Empty fields**: Under the imported record, you’ll find a drop-down list of “Empty Fields.” There, you’ll find fields you can import—but weren’t used in the contact form.
{% endhint %}
Done! Your source Plug is ready. GearPlug will extract all new registers after this one.
