MailChimp’s Social Features

Monday, October 26th, 2009

MailChimp is chock full of social features and integrations to make it easier to share with your network.

One-click Social Share

We’ve made it super simple to connect MailChimp with Twitter, allowing you to automatically tweet a link to your campaign as soon as you hit the send button.
