Mailchimp

MailChimp integration

Mautic can send Contacts to MailChimp based on Contact actions or Point Triggers.

Version notes

• For Mautic 1.2.3 and later, the authentication is based on the API key.

  This is covered in this document.

• For Mautic 1.2.2 and older

  • a MailChimp app has to be created
  • the authentication is made via oAuth2
  • Client key and secret credentials are needed for authentication
  • SSL (https) connection is required

This plugin is backward compatible.

• If the client ID is filled, the plugin will use oAuth2.
• If the client ID is empty, the plugin will let you insert the API key.

Note

In this document, there may be references to outdated terminology such as

• leads,
• lists or lead lists, and
• anonymous leads

In Mautic version 1.4,

• leads were renamed to contacts
• lead lists were renamed to segments
• anonymous leads were renamed to visitors
