I’m trying to create and send a Mailchimp campaign. When creating a campaign in Mailchimp’s website, there’s an option to send the campaign, or to set a time to send:

On Zapier’s site, I see this field under the Test tab:

But it seems like there’s no way to set a value for that field in Setup or Configure?

 

I know that I can send a campaign as a separate step. I’m doing that now but it’s clunky and error prone so I’d like to find a way to create/send in one step.

Hi ​@blackboxlogic 

If you are trying to do that in 1 step, then you would likely have to explore using the Mailchimp API via this Zap action: Mailchimp - API Request

 


​Hi ​@blackboxlogic, just checking in—were you able to create and schedule the campaign to be sent via an API Request action, as Troy suggested?

Either way, I’d recommend reaching out to our Support team to request a feature for scheduling a send time when creating a campaign as it could definitely be a helpful option to have.

Keen to make sure you’re all set here, so keep us posted on how things are going! 🙂


Re: Use the API

If I wanted to figure out mailchimp’s API I’d probably just write/host my own service. I thought Zappier was the alternative to figuring out a service’s API.

 

Re: reach out to support

I’d expect the support team to read these posts? If not, then I have a suggestion.


Hi ​@blackboxlogic,
