If you want to know how to integrate Mailchimp in Hike, you’re in the right place.

 

In this article, we will go over the steps to integrate your Mailchimp with your Hike account.

 

INTEGRATIONS

Having already activated your Mailchimp account, you will find the MANAGE button to the right.

 

Click on the MANAGE button to reveal the drop down list. Choose Sync settings from the list to proceed.

 

 

SYNC SETTINGS

This section exists to match all the settings in Hike to all the settings in Mailchimp. If this is not done correctly, your activity may not properly be recorded when synced between Hike or Mailchimp.

To sync the Contact Detail with Hike, you must have at least one contact list created in Mailchimp first. If you are a new user of Mailchimp, you are advised to create two contact lists: Customers and Suppliers.


Go to your Mailchimp Account and get to the List page. Then, click on the Create List button and now you can create your list.

 

 

 

  • List name

 

Your subscriber will see this, so make it something appropriate.

 

  • Default From email address

 

This is the email address people will reply to.

 

  • Default From name

 

This is the name your email will come from.

 

  • Remind people how they sign up for your list

 

This is a reference for your customers and suppliers how they know you or your business.

Click Save to create your list.

 

After you have created at least two lists in Mailchimp, you are now ready for doing the sync setting in Hike.

 

 

Let's go through the sections, explaining the relevant fields, starting at the top of the page:
