Sync data between Mailchimp and CRM

 

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.

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.

You can use the following Tamarac templates for Mailchimp:

TamTemplate - Mailchimp New Marketing List Created In Dynamics Flow

Use this flow when you want to create a Mailchimp audience record that links to your new CRM marketing list. This prepares the list for contact syncing in the next step using the TamTemplate - Mailchimp Link and Sync Marketing List Members to Audience flow.

When you trigger the flow, it creates and links an empty Mailchimp audience with the same sender details and list information from CRM.

 

If you trigger this flow for existing marketing lists in CRM, it will review Mailchimp to create and link empty audience records if they don’t already exist.

TamTemplate - Mailchimp Link and Sync Marketing List Members to Audience

Use this flow when you need to sync contacts from a CRM marketing list to members from a Mailchimp audience in the following scenarios:

  • Sync members from a new marketing list. After running the TamTemplate - Mailchimp New Marketing List Created In Dynamics Flow, use this to push the list’s members into the new Mailchimp audience.

  • Push list changes from CRM to Mailchimp. Once marketing list contacts are synced to a Mailchimp audience, use this flow anytime you make changes to CRM contacts to sync the updates.

  • Link a CRM marketing list to an existing Mailchimp audience. Use this flow for unlinked CRM marketing lists if they already have a matching Mailchimp audience.

When you trigger the flow, it will review CRM and Mailchimp and take action accordingly:

  • If the marketing list is linked to a new empty audience, it will sync all contacts.

  • If the marketing list is linked to an existing audience, it will sync and update only contacts that have been added or changed.

  • If the marketing list is not linked, it will review Mailchimp for a matching audience and link and sync them if they match.
