Adding Mailchimp unsubscribes to customers using Zapier

Create an integration with Mailchimp to analyze your email communication to customers alongside your ChartMogul data.

For example, determine whether you need to adjust your newsletter content and frequency. When a customer unsubscribes from a newsletter in Mailchimp, push this information to ChartMogul using custom attributes. Then, analyze how many customers are unsubscribing and their amount of revenue.

Before you begin

Create a new read & write API key.
