Integrate with Mailchimp

Send Mailchimp transactional emails directly from your workflow.

You can use our Step templates to guide you through the integrations. You can find step templates in Workflows > + Add step > Integrations > Templates > 3rd party templates > Mailchimp.

1. In Mailchimp, generate your API key. You can find the details here.

2. You’ll be sending the email using a message template. Review the Mailchimp documentation to learn about the related API parameters.

3. In Next Matter select the workflow that should trigger a Mailchimp message, and add a new integration step.

4. Click Settings and enter the following details:

   • Method: POST
   • URL: https://mandrillapp.com/api/1.0/messages/send-template
