Common triggers include successful sales transactions or completed payments in your PayPal account. These triggers can be set to initiate actions like updating subscriber information or adding tags within Mailchimp.
Can I segment my Mailchimp audience based on PayPal transactions?
Yes, you can use mailchimp to segment audiences by setting up Zaps that tag subscribers based on their purchase activity from PayPal. This allows targeting specific groups through automated workflows.
