MailChimp Integration
Silent Partner Cloud's MailChimp Integration allows you to create lists in Silent Partner that can then be shared to your MailChimp account. You can have several lists in Silent Partner; each integrates with a different MailChimp audience.
The basic steps are:
- create a MailChimp account, create your audiences and get your API key
- create your list(s) in Silent Partner and add or remove recipents
- sign in to MailChimp to send email
This integration gives you the full functionality of MailChimp, including templates and CASL management.
Set up MailChimp Integration
Log into the Cloud, click your user name and select "My Account."
Scroll to MailChimp Integration and input your MailChimp API Key. If you don't already have a Mailchimp API Key, please follow the instructions on the screen (1) to obtain one.
Once you've successfully entered your MailChimp API key, you will see this message indicating that your integration has been successfully set up.
Manage your MailChimp lists / audiences
Sign in to MailChimp and set up your audiences. For example, you may want one audience that receives newsletters and another that receives and annual report.
Next, create a list in Silent Partner to populate the MailChimp audience. Go to Communication > MailChimp and click "Manage Lists."
Select your MailChimp audience from the drop down menu. Silent Partner knows what MailChimp audiences you have because the API Key allows the two programs to talk to each other.
To add recipients or subscribers for a list, click "Add Subscribers."
You can choose donors to add by using My Tags, Donors you can view etc. In this example, we are adding recipients from My Tags. 
Select the donors you want to add and click "Add to List."
The gears will spin!
You can also remove recipients from your list. Click the box to the right of their names (circled in black below) and click "Remove Selected Subscribers."
You will be asked if you are sure you want to continue. Click Yes to confirm that you want to remove recipients, or Cancel.
Once you have updated your list (or audience in MailChimp), to send an email, sign in to MailChimp. You can then utilize all of the tools available in MailChimp to prepare and send your emails.
If you edit a donor or partner's CRM record, you will not be able to add them to a MailChimp list until after the Administrator has approved the changes.
