Hi Everyone,

Is there a way to log an Activity (Task) to Salesforce whenever an email is sent in Mailchimp?  I have all Mailchimp records in Salesforce.

Thanks,

Russell

The latter.  So if a mailing in Mailchimp has 50 recipients, I would like to create an activity in Salesforce for each one of them.

Please clarify the following…

Scenario: You send 1 Mailchimp mailing with 5 recipients.

In Salesforce, would you expect 1 Activity to be logged for the entire sent mailing? (If yes, then see screenshot below for the Mailchimp trigger to use in the Zap)

OR in Salesforece, would you expect 5 Activities to be logged 1 for each recipient of the mailing?

(There is available Mailchimp Zap trigger for this, and may require using the Mailchimp API)

Hi Troy,

Just logging an email in activity in Salesforce when there is a mailing in Mailchimp.  I am less concerned about opens and links clicked.

Thanks,

Hi @russkarp 

By email, do you mean confirmation that an entire Mailchimp email campaign was sent to X recipients OR are you looking to log sent emails per recipient?

The Mailchimp Zap app integration has these 2 triggers that may work for your use case:
