First, in MailChimp, Obtain Your API Key...
- Login to your MailChimp account
- In the upper right-hand corner, select your profile icon and choose Profile.
- Click the Extras drop-down then choose API keys.
- In the Your API Keys section, click Create A Key.
- Name your key. Be descriptive, so you know what app uses that key. Keep in mind that you’ll see only this name and the first 4 key digits on your list of API keys.
- Click Generate Key.
- Once we generate your key, click Copy Key to Clipboard. Save your key someplace secure–you won’t be able to see or copy it again. If you lose this key, you’ll need to generate a new key and update any integration that uses it.
- Click Done
Next, in Wise Agent...
- Click on Integrations from the sidebar, then select Settings.
- Once on the Integration Settings page, click on MailChimp. Paste your MailChimp API key into the space provided and click Save.
- Click on Contacts to go to your Contacts List.
- You are now going to add your contacts to MailChimp. You may choose a specific category if you wish. Click Select All to place checkmarks in front of each contact’s name.
- From the Actions drop-down menu at the top of the page, select “Add to MailChimp.”
- Type in a “segment” name if desired (Note: a segment is like a category)
- Click Add to List and wait until you receive a notification that it has finished adding. It may take several moments.
- Repeat steps 3 – 6 for any other groups, and that’s it!
