Mailchimp Marketing connection

info

This connector is currently in Early Access. Contact support for details.

Mailchimp Marketing is an email marketing and audience management platform. Use this source-only connector to sync your audiences, campaigns, automations, and supporting content into your warehouse through the Mailchimp Marketing API 3.0. Store orders and other e-commerce data are synced through the separate Mailchimp E-commerce connector.

Authentication

The connection authenticates with a Mailchimp API key. Your key ends with a data center suffix, such as -us3, which identifies the Mailchimp region that hosts your account. You enter the key and its matching data center URL as separate values.

OAuth 2.0 isn't available for this connector. If you manage several Mailchimp accounts, create one connection for each account.

Prerequisites

  • A Mailchimp account with permission to read the objects you want to sync. Reading most objects requires at least the Author or Manager role. Full member data can require the Admin or Owner role.
  • A Mailchimp API key.
Retrieving your API key
  1. Log in to your Mailchimp account.
  2. Select your profile icon in the lower-left corner, and then select Account.
  3. Select the Extras menu, and then select API keys.
  4. Under Your API keys, select Create A Key. If you already have a key, copy the existing value instead.
  5. Copy the full key immediately. Mailchimp displays the key only once.
note

Include the data center suffix at the end of the key, such as -us3. You need this suffix to build the data center URL.

  8. Select Test Connection to confirm that Data Integration can reach your Mailchimp account.
