Practical ways you can use Mailchimp and Okta
Sync new Mailchimp subscribers to Okta
Ensure new subscribers in Mailchimp are added to your Okta active users list. When Zapier detects a new subscriber in Mailchimp, it will automatically create a corresponding user in Okta. This simplifies user management and ensures access credentials are granted without manual intervention.
Engineering
Monitor email engagement and update user status in Okta
Track email engagement efficiently by linking Mailchimp and Okta. With Zapier, when a recipient in Mailchimp interacts with a campaign by clicking a link, it triggers an update in Okta to change the user's status, such as activating or marking them for follow-up. This helps IT manage engaged users effectively.
