Exporting contacts or leads to MailChimp


Exporting contacts or leads to MailChimp will add new subscribers to your selected list or update existing subscribers when they have a matching email address. You can export a single record when viewing a contact or lead or export multiple records from a list view.

A couple of things to note before you begin exporting:

  • You will need at least one list in MailChimp to export to.
  • Only contacts or leads with valid email addresses can be exported to MailChimp.

To export an individual contact or lead to MailChimp:

  1. Open the lead or contact. You can check if the lead or contact is already in MailChimp by viewing the MailChimp subtab. If no MailChimp lists or metrics appear, this means a matching email address was not found in MailChimp.
