C1 provides identity governance for Mailchimp. Integrate your Mailchimp account with C1 for unified visibility and governance over the account behind the connection.

​
Capabilities

The connector syncs the authenticated Mailchimp account as a single user identity — the account owner — carrying their account role (for example owner), Mailchimp username, and contact email.
Mailchimp’s Marketing API does not expose an endpoint for listing the people (team seats) who can sign in to a Mailchimp account — that surface is available only in the Mailchimp web app. This connector therefore syncs a single identity representing the authenticated account itself, populated from the Mailchimp API root (GET /3.0/). It is identities-only: it does not sync entitlements or grants, and it does not sync your audience subscribers (those are marketing contacts, not account users).

​
Gather Mailchimp credentials

You need a Mailchimp Marketing API key. It grants API access as your account, so treat it as a secret. The key embeds your account’s data center as a suffix after a hyphen (for example ...-us19).
1
Sign in to Mailchimp as the owner of the account you want to sync.
2
Open Account & billing, then go to Extras → API keys.
3
Click Create A Key, give it a descriptive name, and copy the generated key — you will not be able to see it again.
4
Note your data center. It is the part of the API key that follows the hyphen (for example, in 0123...cdef-us19 the data center is us19). It also appears at the start of your Mailchimp app URL (https://us19.admin.mailchimp.com/).

​
Configure the Mailchimp connector

Follow these instructions to use a built-in, no-code connector hosted by C1.

In C1, navigate to Apps > Connectors and click Add connector.
2
Search for Mailchimp and click Add.
3
Choose where to add the connector: Create a new app, or Add to an existing app (then select the app).If you’re creating a new app, choose whether to link it to an application discovered from your identity provider: select Yes and pick the IdP application, or No to continue with just the connector.
4
Set the connector’s Name and, optionally, a Description.
5
Click the pencil icon next to Owners to choose who can configure and manage this connector.
6
Click Add. The connector is created and its configuration page opens.
7
Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.
8
Enter the Mailchimp credentials:
  • API key: The Marketing API key you created.
  • Data center: The data center prefix from the key (for example us19).
9
Click Save.
10
The connector’s label changes to Syncing, followed by Connected. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.
Done. Your Mailchimp connector is now pulling access data into C1.
