In this article, you will learn how to set up the integration between MailChimp and Manychat.
MailChimp is a powerful email service provider. Manychat and MailChimp integration allows you to add or update a contact in MailChimp‘s existing contacts lists.
Setting up MailChimp Integration
Go to Settings > Integrations and click the Connect MailChimp Account button.
Connect Manychat to your MailChimp account by entering your MailChimp login and password on a MailChimp page.
Make sure to authorize Manychat to allow access to your account.
As a result, you'll see the name of your MailChimp account in Manychat, which means your accounts have been linked successfully.
💡 You can unlink your MailChimp account anytime with the Disconnect button.
Select the email field. This field’s value will be sent to MailChimp to create a contact. You can use the email system field or any text custom user fields where you store contact’s emails. If a contact with such an email already exists in MailChimp, it will be identified by this email address.
After the email field is set, the integration is complete.
Setting up MailChimp action
Use the special action in your automation to add or update a contact in a MailChimp list.
Create an action step and select the Add Contact to a List MailChimp action.
💡 The email field you specified in the integration’s settings will be set by default. If you want to use a different email field for this particular action, you can select it here:
Select the desired MailChimp list.
Save the changes to finish the setup.
That’s it! Once the contact reaches the action in the automation, you'll get a new contact in your chosen MailChimp list.
