Creating an Ad Hoc (one off) Mailchimp Data Update

Give your process a name (we recommend a strong naming convention) and choose ‘Adhoc – one off process’

Activity

Select what type of data/records from Salesforce should be sent to Mailchimp. Selecting a Lead option will offer up an extra mapping step

Retrieval

Select a Salesforce Campaign to pull from. The dropdown list will only show Salesforce Campaigns created by Chimpegration with the appropriate Fields and Objects. Standard Salesforce Campaign will not appear here.

Mailchimp Settings

You can choose which Audience Chimpegration should use to update

Tags

If you wish to apply a Tag(s) to the records in Mailchimp, you can chose an existing Tag(s) or you can create a new Tag(s). If you wish to create a new Tag, type in the Tag name and then click on the purple circle with the whitw plus sign.

Once you have selected your Tag(s), you can chose between adding the Tags to existing Tags or replace existing Tags with the incoming Tags.

Contact/Lead Mapping

Here you can map your Salesforce fields to your Mailchimp merge fields. If you have updated to Add/Update Contacts as well as Leads, the Leads Mapping will pre-populate using the same fields you mapped in the Contact Mapping Screen.

If you do not wish to import certain Mailchimp fields simply ignore them in your mapping.

The Contact/Lead ID field must be matched to the appropriate Mailchimp field, this field is mandatory. There should be a single Mailchimp Merge Field to capture the Salesforce Contact/Lead ID. Do not have a merge field for the Contact ID and a second merge field for a Lead ID

You can set up any number of merge fields in Mailchimp before your import to accommodate your Salesforce data. You must include an email address or the export will not run, as this is a field required by Mailchimp.

Matching

Choose how Chimpegration should find a suitable match within Mailchimp

Confirm Your Process

Review what you have selected and then click ‘Save’ to start the process.
