I have a workflow to create a mailchimp campaign. I use the e-mail ID from mailchimp* and enter that into the “Template ID” field when I am creating the campaign via pipedream. Even so, when mailchimp sends the e-mail it is a generic filler e-mail instead of the template that I specified.
Is there a trick to get the workflow to send the campaign using the proper email template?
If I send the campaign manually through mailchimp’s interface, it uses the proper e-mail template.
*I get the email template ID by going into the email template to edit it, and reading the id=# from the URL.
It sounds like you’re using the Create Campaign action in your workflow. To ensure the proper email template is used, you should also use the Edit A Campaign Template Content action after creating the campaign.
Here’s how to use the Edit A Campaign Template Content action:
Search for the Mailchimp app from the step menu
Select the Edit A Campaign Template Content action
Connect your Mailchimp account
Select the Campaign ID from the previous step (Create Campaign)
Configure any optional fields as needed
At the bottom of the step, click Test to run the action and test the configuration
After setting up the Edit A Campaign Template Content action, you can use the Send a Campaign action to send the campaign with the proper email template. If you still face issues, please visit https://pipedream.com/support for more support options.

Thanks, what I want it to do is to send a previously constructed e-mail template that I created. I don’t want to modify that template, I just want to make sure it is used in the campaign.
As it happens, it sends a generic e-mail template instead of the template that I selected in the “Create Campaign” action.
