With our integration, you can sync your Mailchimp and SimpleTexting lists to pass emails and phone numbers between the two platforms.

In order to do this, you'll need a Mailchimp audience first. Otherwise, we have nowhere to safely sync your contacts!

Need help? Follow this handy guide from Mailchimp on how to create an audience.

Here are the basics:

  1. Log in to Mailchimp

  2. Navigate to the Audience tab.

  3. Click the Current audience drop-down and choose View audiences.

  4. Click Create Audience.

  5. Enter the details and click save.

Once you've done that, you're ready to go! You can now sync your audience and tags to SimpleTexting. Here's how.
