title: Adding Mailchimp Webhooks for CiviCRM on Wordpress
body: <p>I’ve been trouble shooting this all weekend and not finding any solutions.  I’m trying to setup webhooks for Mailchimp and CiviCRM 4.6.1 through Wordpress 4.3.1.  </p>
  
  <p>The mailchimp settings panel in CiviCRM provides the web hook address as:</p>
  
  <p>Webhook URL - http://&lt;<strong>domain</strong>>/?page=CiviCRM&amp;q=civicrm/mailchimp/webhook&amp;reset=1&amp;key=2345</p>
  
  <p>Anytime I request the url in a browser window it returns a ‘null’ response.  When I paste it into the Mailchimp webhook setup Mailchimp gives me a 403 error (“We couldn't verify the URL is working. Please double check and try again. HTTP Code: 403”).</p>
  
  <p>I’ve tried to ensure that step 3 of the Veda Consulting instructions <a href="https://github.com/veda-consulting/uk.co.vedaconsulting.mailchimp" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/veda-consulting/uk.co.vedaconsulting.mailchimp</a> was handled:</p>
  
  <ol start="3">
  <li>Make sure webhook url is accessible to public. If not, just make sure anonymous / public user has “allow webhook posts” permission. </li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>but in wordpress settings (<a href="https://en.support.wordpress.com/webhooks/#what-would-i-use-something-like-this-for" rel="nofollow">https://en.support.wordpress.com/webhooks/#what-would-i-use-something-like-this-for</a>) I can’t find a webhook tool. Am I missing something? Is this from an older version of wordpress.  I found the Hookpress plugin but it has a warning that it hasn’t been tested with the current version of wordpress.</p>
  
  <p>Whoever can tell me how to get this webhook working for Mailchimp I would greatly appreciate it, thanks!</p>
