Description
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:- Navigate to the Registered Apps page in your Mailchimp account.
- Click Register An App.
- Fill out the Register An App form.
- Click Create.
- After successfully registering your application, you'll see the client_id and client_secret at the bottom of the page - record these values and store them securely.
- Record your Mailchimp data center, since we will need it later. The data center will be 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".
- Back at the connector screen, enter the data center that was recorded in step 6 into the Data Center field.
- Enter the client_id value that was recorded in step 5 into the Client Id field.
- Enter the client_secret value that was recorded in step 5 into the Client Secret field.
- Click Generate Token. If proper authentication occurs, you will see a notice saying so. If you get any errors, click Yes on the dialog box and then a large browser window will launch - log into your Mailchimp account here and approve the use of the application.
- Select the Test Connection button at the bottom of the window to verify proper connectivity with your Mailchimp account.
- If the connection test succeeds, select OK.
