Chimpegration Pro Features
RE7.94 Updates
For RE7.94 we have updated Chimpegration to work with emails addresses that are no longer tied to addresses. We allow you make full use of the inactive flag (Pro and Basic users)
Relationships
Chimpegration Pro clients can now export, manage campaign results and synch relationship records.
Groups
You can match MailChimp Groups to a constituent attribute, cons code or solicit code making it easier to create accurate segments
Chimpegration View
Chimpegration View allows users who don’t have access to MailChimp to see a constituent’s activity from within RE, what they were sent and when, if they opened it and any links they clicked
Duplicate Email Handling
Chimpegration Pro contains multiple email address handling, allowing you to determine a primary email address holder in RE for imports and managing campaign results whilst synching records for each constituent separately
Tracking Clicks
Record the date the user first opened your email and any links they clicked on within your campaign. These are stored on the action attributes tab to give you the ability to query on the results
Testimonials
When making the move to MailChimp, we were excited to have a resource that integrates with Raiser’s Edge. Now after using Chimpegration, we’re even more excited. It’s so easy to use from adding records into mail chimp and managing campaign results back over. The service has also been so responsive and thorough: there was an issue with the API Code that was fixed in a couple of hours. I highly recommend Chimpegration.
Alicia Cybulski,Database SpecialistWe are very excited to be able to work with Chimpegration. Developing our own integration was not a prospect that we even considered because of the time and cost that would be involved. We are expecting that Chimpegration will be a very cost effective solution for us. Zeidman Development have been very responsive to our needs and helpful through the testing phase. We have had really good experiences using Zeidman’s ID Lookup in the past and are looking forward to this new relationship.
