Upload Email Campaign by ZIP File

January 18th, 2009 | by Ben

If you’re a web designer, you probably prefer to just code your own HTML emails, rather than use one of our built-in templates and WYSIWYG. We totally understand.

So we made it really easy to get your beautiful work loaded into MailChimp with our “Upload ZIP file” button.

Just take all your files, put them into a neat little folder (you can even organize your assets into as many sub-folders as you want), then compress everything into one .ZIP file.

Choose the “paste/Import HTML” tab when building a campaign, then click the “Import Zip file” button.  Upload it to MailChimp, and we’ll extract everything and turn it into an HTML email. We’ll even host your images on our server (free), and prep it for delivery.

All you have to do now is hit the “Send” button.

      I design webpages from a mac using iWeb (it’s user friendly like MailChimp). I am still learning to understand HTML… will the code from a page I’ve created in iWeb work?

        Hi Darci, iWeb does some super-extra funky things that don’t translate well to email. We’ve been looking into it, and hope to add support later.

      Does this change at all the ability to use a style sheet for HTML emails?

      I seem to remember reading in the past that they were generally a no-go for emails.

      Thanks for the feature though. Looks great!

      I know this is an old post, but in case anyone is still monitoring it, I would like to know whether MailChimp supports code from iWeb 09 yet. Anyone? Bueller?
