Prerequisites

To connect to your MailChimp account and create a DataSet, you must have your MailChimp username and password.

Connecting to Your MailChimp Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the MailChimp Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Credentials Pane

The Domo MailChimp connector uses OAuth to connect, so there is no need to enter credentials within Domo. Click Connect (or select Add Account if you have existing MailChimp accounts in Domo) to open the MailChimp OAuth screen you can enter your MailChimp username and password. Once you have entered valid MailChimp credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new MailChimp DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.

Details Pane

This pane contains a menu in which you can select a report, along with other parameters that may or may not appear depending on your selected report.
