How do I set up MailChimp?

To configure the MailChimp integration, you will need your MailChimp API Key and List ID. Follow the steps below to copy these over from your MailChimp account.
​ 
Step 1: Within MailChimp, click your name in the navigation menu in the top-right corner and choose “Account” in the drop-down menu.

Step 2: On the Account page, click the "Extras" drop-down menu and choose “API keys.”

Step 3: Under “Your API keys,” you can either copy an existing API key or click the “Create A Key" button. 

Step 4: Next, click “Lists” in the navigation menu to view all of your available lists. To the right of each list, there is a “Stats” button with a drop-down menu. Go the list you want to use and choose "Settings" within the drop-down menu. Please note, if you don’t have any lists, simply click the “Create Lists” button in the top right corner. 

Step 5: Scroll down to the bottom of the list Settings page to view the Unique ID. The string of letters and numbers is the List ID you'll add to Ambassador. 

Step 6: After copying your API Key and List ID, go back to the Ambassador app and click "Settings" in the navigation menu on the left. 

Step 7: Next, click the “Integrations” tab. You'll be taken here

Step 8: Once on this page, you’ll see the button to “Connect” the MailChimp integration.

Step 9: On the MailChimp integration page, you’ll see a field for the API Key and List ID. After you have entered your information, click the blue “Install” button.
