Mailchimp Overview#

The Mailchimp API taps into the heart of your email marketing efforts, allowing you to manage subscribers, campaigns, and reports. With the API, you can automate tasks like syncing subscriber lists, segmenting contacts based on behavior, and personalizing email content to match user profiles. It's a powerful tool for marketers looking to fine-tune their email strategy and maximize engagement.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Mailchimp	`mailchimp`	`app`	This component uses the Mailchimp app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Campaign ID	`campaignId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Campaign Link	`linkId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Unique Clicks Only?	`uniqueClicksOnly`	`boolean`	Whether to count every link click or only count clicks coming from each user only once

Trigger Authentication#

Mailchimp uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Mailchimp account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Mailchimp and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Mailchimp API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

PostgreSQL Overview#

On Pipedream, you can leverage the PostgreSQL app to create workflows that automate database operations, synchronize data across platforms, and react to database events in real-time. Think handling new row entries, updating records from webhooks, or even compiling reports on a set schedule. Pipedream's serverless platform provides a powerful way to connect PostgreSQL with a variety of apps, enabling you to create tailored automation that fits your specific needs.

Connecting to Restricted Databases

Either enable the shared static IP for this account below, or configure a VPC to deploy any workflow in your workspace to a private network with a dedicated static IP. Learn more in our docs.

SSL Setup

Configure SSL on your PostgreSQL database by providing the CA (Certificate Authority), and choosing between Full Verification, Verify Certificate Authority (CA), or Skip Verification. Skipping verification is not recommended as this has serious security implications.
