Abstract

1. Introduction

Integration to sync all the Magento data (Newsletter subscriber, Customers, Orders, Products) with MailChimp. It allows to use all the MailChimp potential for email Marketing such as sending Campaigns, Automations and more.

The integration includes a Mandrill SMTP module that overrides the one integrated from Magento, you will need to enable Mandrill with its API key from your Mandrill account (mandrillapp.com) for the transactional emails to work. If you want to use the Mailchimp integration without Mandrill for SMTP, contact our support so we can tell you how to set that up.
