Capabilities
The connector syncs the authenticated Mailchimp account as a single user
identity — the account owner — carrying their account role (for example
owner), Mailchimp username, and contact email.
Mailchimp’s Marketing API does not expose an endpoint for listing the people
(team seats) who can sign in to a Mailchimp account — that surface is available
only in the Mailchimp web app. This connector therefore syncs a single identity
representing the authenticated account itself, populated from the Mailchimp API
root (
GET /3.0/). It is identities-only: it does not sync entitlements or
grants, and it does not sync your audience subscribers (those are marketing
contacts, not account users).Gather Mailchimp credentials
1
Sign in to Mailchimp as the owner of the account you want to sync.
2
Open Account & billing, then go to Extras → API keys.
3
Click Create A Key, give it a descriptive name, and copy the generated
key — you will not be able to see it again.
4
Note your data center. It is the part of the API key that follows the
hyphen (for example, in
0123...cdef-us19 the data center is us19). It
also appears at the start of your Mailchimp app URL
(https://us19.admin.mailchimp.com/).Configure the Mailchimp connector
