Mailchimp

• You may need to add an Audience, or add new fields to an existing one
• Consider your Audience Settings and Merge Tags
  • To add the Constituent ID/LookupID or Address fields, make sure they are set up as text fields (Mailchimp formatted fields don’t play nicely with Blackbaud fields).
• You may want/need to add GDPR fields

• Tracking everyone sent
  • If using Actions, you may want to set up Action/Interaction Attributes for Opens, Clicks and Campaign ID and Campaign Name. These need to be set up in database view and should always be text type fields.
• Managing mailing results
  • You may need to create processes for how you manage unsubscribes, bounces etc. in your database, if you already have such processes make sure you can mirror them in Chimpegration 
  • Options include areas such as Consent, Custom Fields or marking the email address as “Do Not Contact”.
  • You may need to add additional options for these areas if you would like to be able to track that this information came from Mailchimp.
• Using Lists/Queries in your database
  • Review your Output on any List/Query that you are using with Chimpegration to ensure that it has all of the fields that you would like to work with in Mailchimp.
