Use Mailchimp Audience/Lists#
Flags to create an Audience/List for each list. If not flagged, Dashnetics will add the list as a tag in MailChimp.
Sending Data to MailChimp#
The 'Name' of the list in Dashnetics is the name of the Audience or Tag in MailChimp.
Clicking 'Save and Send to MailChimp' in the edit screen will save the list and send it directly to MailChimp.
Otherwise, lists are sent to MailChimp every 10 hours.
Switching off the 'Send to Mailchimp' flag on a list will stop it being sent.
MailChimp Merge Fields#
Fields from the contacts or companies can be sent to mailchimp as merge fields.
The names of the fields are case insensitive in Dashnetics (including the ones listed below) but not in MailChimp (eg. if you add two fields 'Name' and 'name' as merge fields in Dashnetics you will get two different fields in MailChimp with the value of the single field from Dashnetics (called 'Name', 'name' or 'NAME' etc)
In addition to all custom fields, the following fields can be sent as Merge fields:
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| DASHNETICS_ID | ID of the record |
| DASHNETICS_NAME | Name of the company or contact |
| DASHNETICS_IMPORTID | Import ID of the company or contact |
| DASHNETICS_FIRSTNAME | First name of the contact (invalid for companies) |
| DASHNETICS_LASTNAME | Last name of the contact (invalid for companies) |
| DASHNETICS_EMAIL | Email of the contact (invalid for companies) |
