Practical ways you can use ActiveCampaign and Mailchimp

Add new Mailchimp subscribers to ActiveCampaign.

When a new subscriber is added to your Mailchimp audience, Zapier automatically creates or updates a contact in ActiveCampaign. This integration ensures your customer data stays consistent and eliminates the need to manually copy subscriber details between platforms.

Business Owner
Sync campaign opens from ActiveCampaign to Mailchimp.

When a contact opens a campaign email in ActiveCampaign, Zapier automatically creates a custom event for the subscriber in Mailchimp. This allows marketing teams to track and segment contacts based on engagement and improve targeted email strategies.

Marketing & Marketing Ops
Track Mailchimp campaign performance in ActiveCampaign.

When a Mailchimp campaign starts sending, Zapier creates or updates a custom object in ActiveCampaign to log campaign details. This keeps team members informed of campaign metrics, helping to align marketing priorities with project timelines.
