Introduction
Mailchimp allows you to automate your email marketing activities, including the delivery of marketing emails, automated messages, and targeted campaigns.
With the Mailchimp integration and Tamarac Power Automate flow templates, you can sync your marketing lists between Tamarac CRM and Mailchimp. This helps to eliminate the need to manually maintain separate lists in each application and to ensure that your contact information remains up to date across both platforms.
This topic covers more information about enabling and using the Mailchimp Power Automate flow templates.
Enablement
To use this integration, you must set up at least one of the Power Automate flows and enable the integration in Tamarac CRM.
For more information, see Enable and set up the Mailchimp integration.
Use available Mailchimp Power Automate flow templates
You can take advantage of Tamarac flow templates to share key contact information between CRM and Mailchimp to streamline your marketing workflows and minimize data entry.
If you turn on a Tamarac template directly and update it, your changes may be overwritten in future releases since it is part of the managed solution. To customize the flow, you can make a copy of the template. For more information, see Enable Power Automate Flows.
