Instructions

The simplest way to authenticate a request to the Mailchimp Marketing API is by using an API key (If you require access to Mailchimp on behalf of other Mailchimp users, you'll want to set up OAuth authentication instead)::
  1. Login into your Mailchimp account, click on your Profile Icon, and hit Account & billing: Start by going to Mailchimp account
  2. Navigate to the API keys page in your Mailchimp account: Go to API Keys in Mailchimp
  3. In the Your API keys section of the page, click Create A Key button: Create new API Key in Mailchimp
  4. Give your new key a descriptive name that will remind you which application it's used for: Name API Key in Mailchimp
  5. Copy the API key immediately and store it in a secure location (you won't be able to see or copy the key once you finish generating it): Use API Key to get Mailchimp data via REST API
  6. Record your Mailchimp data center, since we will need it later. The data center is located in your browser's address bar URL. If the URL is https://us21.admin.mailchimp.com/account/api, then your data center is us21.
  7. Now go to SSIS package or ODBC data source ApiKey Auth authentication configuration.
  8. Proceed by entering the data center into the Data Center field that was recorded in the previous step.
  9. Then enter the API key into the Api Key field that you copied earlier.
  10. Finally, click the Test Connection button at the bottom of the window to verify proper connectivity with your Mailchimp account.
  11. Done! Now you can use Mailchimp Connector!
