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.

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:
