Mailchimp Integration

Connect Mailchimp to automatically sync subscribers when they claim a promo code or join your waiting list.

Overview

The Mailchimp integration allows you to automatically add email addresses collected through your promotion pages to your Mailchimp audiences. This ensures your mailing list is always up-to-date without manual exporting and importing.

Setup Instructions

1. Generate a Mailchimp API Key

  1. Log in to your Mailchimp account
  2. Navigate to Account & Billing > Extras > API Keys
  3. Click "Create A Key"
  4. Give your key a descriptive name (e.g., "Promo Code Queue")
  5. Copy the API Key

Keep your API key secure

Your API Key provides full access to your Mailchimp account. Never share it publicly or include it in client-side code.

2. Find your Audience ID

  1. Navigate to Audience > Audience dashboard
  2. Select Manage Audience > Settings
  3. Click "Audience name and defaults"
  4. Locate your Audience ID (a string of letters and numbers)

3. Connect to Promo Code Queue

  1. In your dashboard, select your product
  2. Scroll to the Mailing List section
  3. Click "Connect Email Service"
  4. Select Mailchimp from the dropdown
  5. Enter your API Key and Audience ID
  6. Click "Connect"

Automatic Syncing

Once connected, Promo Code Queue will automatically attempt to sync new subscribers to Mailchimp once every 24 hours. You can also trigger a manual sync at any time from the product dashboard by clicking the "Sync Now" button.

Troubleshooting

API Key Errors

If the connection fails, double-check that your API key is active and was copied correctly. API keys are specific to your account data center (e.g., us19).

Audience ID Errors

Ensure you are using the "Audience ID" and not the audience name. The ID is typically a 10-character alphanumeric string.
