Jebbit makes it easy to pass collected user emails to your Mailchimp subscription list. User attributes collected via Jebbit can be used to personalize Mailchimp content via Merge Tags.
Setting up a Mailchimp Integration
There are a few steps we ask you to take so that Jebbit can securely receive access to perform the integration. You will need Manager level access to your account to perform these steps.
1. Generate an API Key within your Mailchimp Account
To enable API access, you will need to generate an API key.
Select your profile name to expand the Account Panel, and choose Account.
Select the Extras drop-down menu and choose API keys.
Select Create a Key.
Label your Key as “Jebbit Integration”, so you know what application uses this key.
2. Copy API Key to a .txt file
After generating your API Key, copy each of these values and paste into a .txt file.
3. Copy the Audience ID
Jebbit will need a specific Audience ID to know which audience to send the Jebbit data. Your audiences can be found here.
After selecting the audience you would like your Jebbit data sent to, navigate to Audience name and defaults under Settings.
Here you will find the Audience ID, which we ask for you to copy and paste into your .txt file.
4. Copy & Map Audience Fields and *|MERGE|* Tags
If you plan on personalizing your emails with attributes collected from Jebbit, you can do so with Mailchimp Audience fields and *|MERGE|* tags. Mailchimp provides a full list of their available *|MERGE|* tags here at this link.
Under the same Audience from Step 4, navigate to Audience fields and *|MERGE|* tags under Settings:
For each Jebbit Attribute you would like to use via Mailchimp, you will need to have either an existing Audience Field or *|MERGE|* tag, or create a new Audience Field or *|MERGE|* tag for Jebbit to map to.
Field type must be of type “text”. The Field tag is the value that Jebbit will need.
Please clarify the following:
Whether you will be collecting EU data, Non-EU data, or both
Whether users should be subscribed automatically or not
Any logic surrounding opt-Ins, for example
Only users who have opted in will be sent to Cordial (you must have an opt-in box)
Only users who have opted in OR opt-in is NULL (you have an opt-in box or an automatic opt-in by entering PII)
All users regardless of choice, and you can choose to have the opt-in status sent as a data value from Jebbit
In your .txt file, provide a list of the Field tag values you would like included in this integration, along with the corresponding Jebbit attribute ID.
Example:
Mailchimp Tag | Jebbit attribute ID
FNAME | first_name
LNAME | last_name
5. Submit your .txt file via Dropbox File Request
For security reasons, we ask that you transfer the information from your .txt file via Dropbox File request. Please submit your file using this URL.
Our Jebbit Integrations Team will be notified once this information is submitted, and will be in contact with you regarding timelines and testing.
