Integrate with Mailchimp
Add new leads from your chat to a Mailchimp audience, tagged, with double opt-in.
When a visitor leaves their name and email in Darwin's chat, Zapier adds them to your Mailchimp audience, or updates them if they're already there, tagged so you know they came from the chat. It runs through Zapier: Darwin's Zapier app starts the Zap and Zapier's Mailchimp app does the work. This recipe is a two-step Zap, which Zapier's free plan includes.
Consent first.
Double opt-in asks each person to confirm before they get your marketing email.

FAQ
Mailchimp integration questions.
Is this a native Mailchimp integration?
No. It runs through Zapier. Darwin's Zapier app starts the Zap when something happens in your chat, and Zapier's Mailchimp app does the work in Mailchimp. You choose which fields go where, and you can add filters or extra steps.
Does it copy contacts Darwin already has?
No. A Zap acts on events from the moment you turn it on. To bring in earlier leads, download them as a CSV from Conversations in Darwin, or read them with the API.
