MailChimp Campaign Stats on iPhone

MailChimp Campaign Stats on iPhone

The guys in the MailChimp Lab have just launched a mini-MailChimp for the iPhone.

MailChimp customers: just go to MailChimp.com on your iPhone and sign in (or go straight to admin.mailchimp.com), then we’ll redirect you to the iPhone version.

It’s not a fully functional MailChimp account where you can create a full blown HTML Email campaign. Think of it as “MailChimp Lite.” It’s a way for you to log in to your account, quickly check the stats (Mmmmm, pie charts) for your recent campaigns, read your “Chimp Chatter” to find out what’s going on with your email marketing, and it’s a handy way to subscribe people you meet (such as at trade shows and events) to your email lists.

When you’re logged in, you’ll see this:

  1. Click on “dashboard” to go to your Chimp Chatter. MailChimp will give you a bird’s eye view of everything that’s going on with your email marketing.
  2. Click on “reports” for a list of recent campaigns. Then, click a campaign to see its stats.
  3. Click on “subscribe” to see all your managed MailChimp lists. Then, pick a list, and you can add a subscriber to the list.
Check your recent campaign's stats on your iPhone

      Wahoo! This is great stuff!

      How about the ability to view the campaign? No edits of course.

      @Tim – Try the Yahoo widget on Windows Mobile:

      We’re considering a straight MailChimp mobile site as well. This is stuff we’re tinkering with in “the lab,” so remember that it’s an elaborate excuse to play with Yahoo Blueprint, and the iPhone. But hey, that’s how cool stuff happens sometimes. :-)

      It would be pretty cool if if you could use the mobile version to send a ready-to-go campaign to a list – no editing, just scheduling or sending, for when you’re waiting for the final go-ahead on a campaign.

        Yeah, we’ve needed that ourselves! We’ll circle back around and update our mobile apps soon. Thanks!

      This is fantastic. I just discovered MailChimp yesterday and already have a list and campaign sent out. Any chance you’re working on a more featured dedicated iPhone app?

      Hi there,

      Thanks for making some forward movement on the iPhone platform! :) It’s nice to have a “mobile” version of the MailChimp website for the iPhone, but there are some problems with it right now. What makes this worse is that the “full” version of the MailChimp website has broken features on the iPhone as well.

      For example:

      1. Using the MOBILE version of the website, I subscribed somebody to my list by typing in their (rather lengthy) email address into the “email address” field. But once I moved onto the next field, I realized that I might have made a typo their email address. So I went back to the email address field, but it put the cursor at the BEGINNING of the email field… but the iPhone wouldn’t let me scroll to the end of the email address with my finger to see the end of the email address. This is normally possible with normal fields, but for some reason the iPhone isn’t recognizing the fields on the “mobile version” of your subscribe form as normal fields. So if an email address is too long to visually see in the field, you’ll probably just have to “select all”, delete it, and then type it again.

      2. The MOBILE version of the site doesn’t let you search your subscriber list to see if somebody already exists on your list. This is critical for me. Even worse, if you go to the FULL version of the site on the iPhone, and you try to search your list using the “search” box that appears above your list, it doesn’t work… it always yields 0 people as a result of your search. Luckily, I figured out that the “segment list” search actually DOES work on the iPhone, but that takes longer than using the “search” field.

      Thanks!
      Scott
