How to add or remove a person and synchronize to a group with MailChimp?

• You must be a Village Admin to connect Interest Groups to MailChimp.
• Connecting an Interest Group to MailChimp allows Village Admins to send mass emails to members of that specific group.

Step 1: Access Interest Groups

Go to:

Admin → People Management → Groups

Click Interest Groups.

Select the Interest Group you want to synchronize with MailChimp.

From this page, Village Admins can:

• Manually add or remove members from the Interest Group.
• Synchronize the Interest Group with MailChimp.

Remove a Member from an Interest Group

To remove a member, click REMOVE next to their name.

Add a Member to an Interest Group

To manually add a member:

1. Use the SEARCH PERSON field to find the member.
2. Click Select next to their name.

3. The member will automatically be added to the Interest Group.

    

Once added, the member will appear in the Interest Group. For example, Colin Branca has been added to the Book Club Interest Group.

MailChimp Subscription Status

The checkmark next to a member's name indicates that the member is subscribed to MailChimp through their individual user profile.

Important: This MailChimp subscription must be enabled by a Village Admin.

• Checkmark: The member is subscribed to MailChimp and will receive emails sent to the Interest Group.
• No checkmark: The member belongs to the Interest Group but will not receive Interest Group emails or updates.

Synchronize the Interest Group with MailChimp

To synchronize the Interest Group with MailChimp, click Synchronize.

A confirmation message will appear indicating that the synchronization was successful or that the list synchronization has been placed in the queue.
