iKnow has a built in integration with MailChimp, which means that our MailChimp Audience can be updated automatically, when new people are added to iKnow. iKnow will not sync people who do not have an email address, or do not have their Contact Type set to Church.
The link between the two products, is created by obtaining an API Key from MailChimp, this is then added to iKnow, in Settings. When the API Key is added, we will be able to select which MailChimp Audience we would like iKnow to sync with. Once this is done, iKnow will send new contacts to MailChimp at 3am each morning.
We are able to sync more than one iKnow account to a single MailChimp list, simply by adding the same MailChimp API Key to each account, and selecting the same list to sync to.
iKnow will also send details of the Location, Groups, Teams and Circles that people are in, so we will be able to segment the MailChimp list, using these details, if we want to target our emails.
