Hi @willie_nilly

Good question.

The Mailchimp API can be used if you want to authenticate with an API Key: https://mailchimp.com/developer/marketing/api/

App APIs can be used in Zaps with the Webhooks app: https://zapier.com/apps/webhook/help

Thank you for your reply, @Troy Tessalone!

Can I make a post or get request to the Mailchimp API using Zapier? If so, how?

Yes, App APIs can be used in Zaps with the Webhooks app: https://zapier.com/apps/webhook/help

You’ll need to refer to the Mailchimp API documentation for the desired endpoint: https://mailchimp.com/developer/marketing/api/
