Now we need to create a popup with MailChimp subscribe form. So let’s see the process:
Go to Brave → All Campaigns and you will see a Plus icon at the top right. Click on Plus Icon → New Popup/Widget to create a new campaign.
Now provide a popup title and select a template. If you want to design a popup from scratch, you will see a Start With Blank option below. Here I use a pre-made template. Now click on the Create Popup button.
Now you will be redirected to the Popup Building page. You can easily design your popup by dragging elements from the left panel. All the elements are fully customizable. From the right panel, you can manage popups and element settings easily. To get the setting of any element, just click on it.
Step 4: Connect your poppup with MailChimp
Once your popup design is done, now Double Click on the form element. You can add more fields, style them, and also set the action to the form.

Other some extra options:
Once published, you will see a beautiful popup will display on your site on page load. You can also change the triggering system from setting at to top center.
You can also set campaign goals easily from the top goal option.
If you need to pause any campaign popup you can easily do it. To pause any popup, go to Brave → All Campaign→ Hover the status “Active” and click the Pause button. You can also delete or duplicate the campaign, View Conversion, goal, total views, last update, etc.
Final Thought
Creating a subscribe popup using the WordPress Brave plugin is very easy. I found many articles and video tutorials that used many plugins or used the Elementor plugin. So if your site was not built with Elementor, it is tough to design a popup? In the process I show above, you can implement MailChimp WordPress popup easily, it does not matter which page builder you use to design your website.
Brave is a good plugin that offers all the essential features to make a customizable popup using MailChimp. You just need this plugin and MailChimp account. The Brave plugin also offers more advanced features on its premium version. So if you want more advanced features, you can buy the pro version.
