We recently launched a new email template language that makes it easy to code emails that tie into the MailChimp email design tools. If you are designing emails for your clients, this is pretty huge, as you can create designs that ham-fisted, non-designers can tweak through the design inspector, without having to touch your code. We’ve just made it even easier for designers and coders to rock the email template casbah. (more…)

A little while ago, Google called us on the phone.
You’d think that seeing “Google, Mountain View” on your caller ID would make us pretty excited. But the truth is, it’s more of a frightening experience (along the lines of, “Oh God did we break the internet?).
Turns out it wasn’t so bad…

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009MailChimp integrates with a ton of applications, like Batchbook, Magento, Salesforce, Drupal, Wordpress, Freshbooks, Paypal, Wufoo and more (there’s an ever-growing at mailchimp.com/extras).
There are so many now, that managing your different integrations can be tough. So we created this new “Integrations Dashboard” under your Account page.
It’s a great birds-eye-view of all the apps you’ve linked to MailChimp, and what their status is. If you’re experiencing any issues sync’ing data with one of them, this is where you can go to diagnose.

Shopify Plugin for MailChimp
Thursday, April 30th, 2009
Dialect, a small web marketing company on Vancouver Island in Canada, has developed a plugin that connects your Shopify online store with MailChimp.
It works by allowing you to process a Webhook from Shopify and subscribe the purchaser to a specific MailChimp list. In a nutshell, Webhooks enable you to collect information about events as they happen in near real-time. (read more about the MailChimp API and Webhooks here)
You can grab the plugin and installation instructions here. Then, all you need to get started is your Shopify Shop ID and MailChimp List ID.
Use another ecommerce or shopping cart solution? MailChimp also currently intergrates with Magento, osCommerce, PrestaShop, Foxy Cart and ZenCart. Be sure to take a look at our extensive list of plugins for more info.
