Integration with Mailchimp

It is easy to migrate your contacts from Mailchimp using our integration store. The integration allows you to import Mailchimp contacts to the SmartSender account, so you can automate your work and have more time for the more important things.

Here are some things to know before you start:

• No code is required.
• Import is possible only in one way: From Mailchimp to SmartSender.io.
• Connection syncs your Mailchimp account only with the Default Contact List.
• The Mailchimp API key is required.
• Variable names in Mailchimp and SmartSender.io may differ.
• There is a limit of one synchronization in a 24-hour.

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Log in to your Mailchimp account.
2. Click on your avatar on the down left and click the “Profile” section.
3. Choose the “API keys” option in the “Extras” section.
4. Press the “Create A Key” button if you don’t have any active API keys yet.
5. Scroll down and find the generated API access key and copy it.
6. Go to the SmartSender.io platform.
7. Navigate to Mailchimp Integration page (Menu->Integrations).
8. Select the “Mailchimp” section.
9. Paste your Mailchimp API key and press the “Next” button.
10. Select the list and domain where you would like to import your contacts.
11. Press the “Next” button.
12. Match all contact variables from your list or create new variables if you don’t find suitable ones.
13. Press the “Finish ” button.
