Connecting to Mailchimp

Once your users have connected their Mailchimp account, you can use the Paragon SDK to access the Mailchimp API on behalf of connected users.
See the Mailchimp REST API documentation for their full API reference.
Any Mailchimp API endpoints can be accessed with the Paragon SDK as shown in this example.
JavaScript
// You can find your project ID in the Overview tab of any Integration.
​
// Authenticate the user
paragon.authenticate(<ProjectID>, <Paragon User Token>);
​
// Create a List
await paragon.request("mailchimp", "/lists/<List ID>", {
method: "POST",
body: {
"members": [{ email_address: "[email protected]" }],
"update_existing": true
}
});
​
// List all Campaigns
await paragon.request("mailchimp", "/campaigns",
method: “GET”
});
​

Building Mailchimp workflows

Once your Mailchimp account is connected, you can add steps to perform the following actions:
  • Create Campaign
  • Update Campaign
  • Send Campaign
  • Search Campaigns
  • Get Campaign by ID
  • Delete Campaign by ID
  • Create List
  • Get List by ID
  • Search Lists
  • Add Contact to List
  • Update Contact in List
  • Get Contacts from List
When using Mailchimp, you can reference data from previous steps by typing {{ to invoke the variable menu.

Using Webhook Triggers

Webhook triggers can be used to run workflows based on events in your users' Mailchimp account. For example, you might want to trigger a workflow whenever new contacts are added to a Mailchimp list to sync your users' Mailchimp contacts to your application in real-time.
You can find the full list of Webhook Triggers for Mailchimp below:
