Instructions

To get the credentials you need in order to set up your OAuth workflow, you'll first need to register your application with Mailchimp:
  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 Registered Apps page in your Mailchimp account: Go to registered OAuth apps in Mailchimp
  3. Click Register An App button: Register new OAuth app in Mailchimp
  4. Fill-in the Register An App form and click Create button: Enter OAuth app details in Mailchimp
    NOTE: For Redirect URI use Redirect URI (also called "Redirect URL" or "Callback URL") given by your IT administrator or just use https://zappysys.com/oauth, if you don't have one.
  5. After successfully registering your application, you'll see the Client ID and Client Secret, record these values and store them securely: Use OAuth app 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 OAuth 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 Client ID value into the Client ID field that you recorded in the previous step.
  10. Enter the Client Secret value into the Client Secret field that was recorded in the previous step.
  11. Click Generate Token. If proper authentication occurs, you will see a confirmation notice. If you get an error, click Yes on the dialog box and then a large browser window will launch. Then log into your Mailchimp account and approve the use of the application.
  12. Finally, hit the Test Connection button at the bottom of the window to verify proper connectivity with your Mailchimp account.
  13. If the connection test succeeds, select OK.
  14. Done! Now you can use Mailchimp Connector!
