Set the API key obtained from Mailchimp as the access token.
You can obtain the API key by navigating to "Top right person icon > Extras > API keys" within Mailchimp.
*You can check the server domain from the Mailchimp URL.
For URLs like "https://us17.admin.mailchimp.com/", "us17" is your server domain.

Setting Up My App Integration

1)Once logged into your Yoom account, register the app you will use.
Click "My Apps" and select "New Connection".


2)A list of apps that can be connected with Yoom will be displayed. Search for "Mailchimp" in the top search box.

Once you select Mailchimp, enter the account name you will use, the access token obtained during preparation, and the server domain, then click add.



3)Once registered, an icon will appear in My Apps.
Check if the icon for the registered app is displayed.

Now you can use the Mailchimp API from Yoom!

Examples of Automation Achievable with the Mailchimp API

Yoom allows integration with various services, and templates are available for each service.
Utilize templates that can connect with the services you use regularly to automate Mailchimp!

1. Add When Information is Registered

By using the Mailchimp API and external application APIs, you can add contacts to Mailchimp when information is registered in an external application.
You can automatically register data in Mailchimp by referencing information from external applications, reducing manual data entry and preventing errors.
For example, when the sales department registers new customer information in the kintone negotiation history app, it is automatically added to Mailchimp's "Campaign List" for future marketing email distribution. This prevents duplicate data entry and improves work efficiency.

Additionally, once the information is registered, it can also be updated.

For example, when a customer submits form information via Google Forms, the contact information in Mailchimp is automatically updated, allowing the marketing department to quickly start preparing email campaigns.
This reduces manual work and enables targeting based on the most up-to-date information.

2. Notify When Email is Opened

By combining the Mailchimp API with a messaging tool API, you can receive notifications in the messaging tool when an email is opened.
This eliminates the need to open Mailchimp to check email openings, allowing you to quickly understand the situation through notifications and smoothly transition to the next action.
For example, when a sales campaign email sent via Mailchimp is opened by a customer, it is possible to send a notification to Chatwork saying "Mr./Ms. ○○ has opened the email."
This enables quick follow-up and is expected to improve the efficiency of customer interactions.

3. Execute When Email is Opened

By integrating Mailchimp API with an external application's API, you can trigger actions in the external application when an email is opened.
This reduces manual effort and allows for more accurate customer engagement.
For example, if a prospective customer opens a campaign email sent by the sales department via Mailchimp, the customer's contact information is automatically registered in HubSpot, and a follow-up task is automatically assigned in HubSpot.
This automation ensures that you can respond to high-interest customers who have opened emails without missing them, leading to more efficient sales processes and quicker customer approaches.

The person who wrote this article
r.suzuki
I came across Yoom when I was searching for ways to improve work efficiency on a daily basis at a small and medium-sized enterprise in a region where human resources are limited. I was casually thinking that it would be nice if this were the case, and by introducing Yoom, we can make it so much more efficient! I'm moved. Even though I have no knowledge or experience with systems or programming, my work has changed drastically, so I'm writing that I hope I can share it with many people who feel the same way.
