Setting up the MailChimp integration
To set up your MailChimp integration, navigate to your initials in the bottom left hand corner and click 'Integrations'
Type 'MailChimp' in the search bar and click 'Connect'. Generate a Mailchimp Transactional API Key on the MailChimp platform, copy it, paste it into the API Key field in SourceWhale, and press 'Activate'.
Note: Instructions to obtain an Mailchimp Transactional API Key from MailChimp can be found here. You'll need to ensure you have the Transactional Add-on to your Mailchimp plan. If you have a Mailchimp Standard plan or higher, you can enable Mailchimp Transactional from the Monthly plans or credits page of your account. The Standard API Key will not work.
