The problem: anyone maintaining a contact list has to keep it up to date in both systems, so that nobody who unsubscribed long ago keeps receiving promotions by mistake, and new contacts do not reach the right audience too late. This double data maintenance costs time and is error-prone as soon as several people create or change contacts in different places. If such changes go unnoticed, it often only becomes apparent when a customer complains about an unwanted marketing email or a new contact misses a campaign that was actually intended for them. 1Tool closes this gap with a direct Mailchimp integration that automatically synchronises contact groups.",[14,15,17],"h2",{"id":16},"connecting-via-api-key","Connecting via API key",[10,19,20],{},"To connect 1Tool to Mailchimp, an API key from the Mailchimp account is stored in 1Tool. This gives 1Tool permission to communicate with the Mailchimp account in question, without login details having to be passed on repeatedly or stored in further tools. The connection is set up once and forms the basis for mapping contact groups in 1Tool to audiences in Mailchimp. For day-to-day work, this means employees do not have to deal with the technical details of the integration. Once the connection is in place, synchronisation runs in the background, and the actual work with contacts continues to take place in 1Tool as usual. Especially for companies that already use Mailchimp for their email marketing, this creates a seamless process from contact management in the CRM to the campaign in the recipients' inboxes, with no break between systems. Responsibility for contact data stays in one place – the CRM – while Mailchimp remains solely responsible for actually sending the campaigns. This clear division of tasks also makes it easier to keep track when further marketing tools are added over time or existing processes are adapted.",[14,22,24],{"id":23},"linking-contact-groups-and-audiences","Linking contact groups and audiences",[10,26,27],{},"The core building block of the integration is the link between contact groups in 1Tool and audiences in Mailchimp. A contact group in 1Tool – for a particular customer category or group of prospects, for instance – is connected to the matching audience in Mailchimp. This creates a clear mapping: every group relevant for marketing purposes has its counterpart in the email marketing tool, without names or structures having to be matched manually. The link can be set up for several groups at the same time, so that different marketing audiences stay cleanly separated, just as they are organised in the CRM. Anyone who works with contact groups day to day no longer has to remember which group in 1Tool belongs to which audience in Mailchimp. The structure of contact management in the CRM becomes directly usable for email marketing. This is particularly helpful when different campaigns are meant to address different audiences – existing customers on the one hand and prospects on the other, for example. Because the mapping is set up once, it remains in place even when individual contacts within the groups change frequently.",[14,29,31],{"id":30},"automatic-synchronisation-in-everyday-work","Automatic synchronisation in everyday work",[10,33,34],{},"Once the link is in place, 1Tool takes care of ongoing maintenance: if a contact is added to a linked contact group in 1Tool, it automatically appears in the corresponding audience in Mailchimp as well. If it is removed from the group, it disappears from the associated audience just as automatically. Employees therefore no longer need to remember to replicate changes in Mailchimp when they are already working with contact groups in the CRM. This reduces not only the maintenance effort but also the risk of contact lists in the two systems drifting apart over time. For the marketing team, this means a more reliable data basis for campaigns, because the audiences in Mailchimp always reflect the current state of the contact groups in 1Tool – without any separate manual reconciliation. This works in both directions: both adding and removing contacts are taken into account, so that someone leaving a group, for example, is reflected in Mailchimp promptly. For companies that value a clean data basis, this goes beyond mere convenience and supports the quality of their own marketing communication.",[14,36,38],{"id":37},"frequently-asked-questions","Frequently asked questions",[10,40,41,45,48,49,52,54,55,58,60,61],{},[42,43,44],"strong",{},"How is the connection between 1Tool and Mailchimp established?",[46,47],"br",{},"\nVia an API key from the Mailchimp account, which is stored once in 1Tool.\n",[42,50,51],{},"Do I still have to maintain contacts manually in Mailchimp?",[46,53],{},"\nNo, for linked groups, contacts are added or removed automatically as soon as this changes in 1Tool.\n",[42,56,57],{},"Can I link several contact groups to Mailchimp?",[46,59],{},"\nYes, several contact groups in 1Tool can each be connected to a matching audience in Mailchimp.\n",[42,62,63],{},"Does your company already use Mailchimp for email marketing – and how much time do you currently spend maintaining your contact lists by hand?",[10,65,66],{},[67,68,70],"a",{"href":69},"\u002Fen\u002Fappointment-request\u002F","Book a demo",[14,72,74],{"id":73},"read-more","Read more",[76,77,78,85,91],"ul",{},[79,80,81],"li",{},[67,82,84],{"href":83},"\u002Fen\u002Fblog\u002Femail-to-ticket-automatic\u002F","From email to ticket: automatic mailbox parsing in 1Tool",[79,86,87],{},[67,88,90],{"href":89},"\u002Fen\u002Fblog\u002Fshared-team-mailboxes-access-rights\u002F","One mailbox, many colleagues: shared mail groups with access rights management",[79,92,93],{},[67,94,96],{"href":95},"\u002Fen\u002Fblog\u002Fnewsletter-click-heatmap\u002F","Where do your customers really click?
