Mailchimp

This page guides you through setting up the Mailchimp source connector.

Prerequisite​

You can use OAuth or an API key to authenticate your Mailchimp account. If you choose to authenticate with OAuth, register your Mailchimp account.

Set up the Mailchimp source connector​

  1. Log into your Airbyte Cloud or Airbyte Open Source account.

  2. Click Sources and then click + New source.

  3. On the Set up the source page, select Mailchimp from the Source type dropdown.

  4. Enter a name for your source.

  5. You can use OAuth or an API key to authenticate your Mailchimp account. We recommend using OAuth for Airbyte Cloud and an API key for Airbyte Open Source.

    • To authenticate using OAuth for Airbyte Cloud, ensure you have registered your Mailchimp account and then click Authenticate your Mailchimp account to sign in with Mailchimp and authorize your account.
    • To authenticate using an API key for Airbyte Open Source, select API key from the Authentication dropdown and enter the API key for your Mailchimp account.
    note

    Check the performance considerations before using an API key.

  6. Click Set up source.

Supported sync modes​

The Mailchimp source connector supports the following sync modes:

  • Full Refresh
  • Incremental

Supported streams​

The Mailchimp source connector supports the following streams:

Automations Campaigns Email Activity Interests Interest Categories Lists List Members Reports Segments Segment Members Tags Unsubscribes

A note on primary keys​

The EmailActivity and Unsubscribes streams do not have an id primary key, and therefore use the following composite keys as unique identifiers:

  • EmailActivity [email_id, action, timestamp]
  • Unsubscribes [campaign_id, email_id, timestamp]

All other streams contain an id primary key.

Performance considerations​

Mailchimp does not impose rate limits on how much data is read from its API in a single sync process. However, Mailchimp enforces a maximum of 10 simultaneous connections to its API, which means that Airbyte is unable to run more than 10 concurrent syncs from Mailchimp using API keys generated from the same account.
