Using the Mailchimp App
Sync your ContactDrive contacts with Mailchimp to send email campaigns and newsletters, and get the engagement back on your contact timelines.
Read Syncing with Your Email Platform first — it covers how the sync behaves, what happens to unsubscribes, and what to do when a sync stops. This page is the Mailchimp-specific part.
Connecting
- Add Mailchimp from the Apps marketplace.
- Open the app's Settings.
- Paste your Mailchimp API key. You'll find it in Mailchimp under Account > Extras > API keys.
- Choose your default audience — the Mailchimp audience to sync with.
- Pick a refresh schedule.
- Save.
Notes
Mailchimp calls its lists audiences. Pick the audience you actually send from — syncing into an unused one produces a tidy sync and no email.
If you have several audiences and want them to mean different things, decide that in Mailchimp first. The app syncs against the one audience you nominate.
