Data Wizard
4 minute read

What is the data wizard?

The Data Wizard allows you to bulk import data from Salesforce to Mailchimp. You can select records using a list view, report, SOQL query, or Salesforce campaign. Within your selected source, you can also map Salesforce fields to Mailchimp merge fields. As part of the import process, you can assign tags or groups to your contacts. Additionally, the entire import can be scheduled to run automatically, making it easy to keep your Mailchimp audience up to date.

Key features include:

  • Works with any Salesforce object.

  • Map Salesforce fields to Mailchimp merge fields.
  • Add people to groups or tags.

  • Schedule to automate the process.

How to use the data wizard

The import wizard creates new members with a Subscribed status. Make sure your source excludes any emails that shouldn’t be subscribed. Unsubscribed records will never be reactivated.

If your import includes archived records, the “Filter Archived Records” setting on the last page of the wizard controls how they are handled.

If double opt-in is enabled in Mailchimp, reactivated and newly imported emails will be treated as new and will receive a confirmation email.
