How the MailChimp Integration works
When a donation is made to your campaign, we'll create a MailChimp Subscriber from the donor information provided (or use an existing Subscriber if one is found with a matching email address) and send through information related to the donation.
Here's a list of the data that's available for you to use and their corresponding merge field:
| Chuffed.org field | MailChimp merge field | MailChimp merge field type |
| Email address | ||
| First name | FNAME | text |
| Last name | LNAME | text |
| Donation amount | DONAMOUNT | number |
| Campaign title | CAMPAIGN | text |
| Perk | PERK | text |
| Address (if provided) | ADDRESS | address |
The "Source" of the MailChimp Subscriber will also have the value of "Chuffed.org".
Please note the following:
- We'll use an existing Subscriber if their email address is a match. If not, they'll be a new Subscriber in your MailChimp account.
- For an existing Subscriber, we'll only update the first and last name if it's currently blank. We trust you'll have their preferred name if those fields already exist.
