How to get started

The implementation process typically involves connecting a Mailchimp account with an API key, configuring field mappings, setting tagging rules and triggers, and testing synchronization across several test accounts. Depending on the structure of your e-learning offering, you can set up separate audiences for different products or use a single account with extensive segmentation.
