How to Sync New Contacts in 17hats to MailChimp
When syncing your MailChimp contacts with 17hats, it is a necessity to have the in-between software, Zapier.
Within Zapier, you can create Zaps. Zaps are basically triggers that say "when a new contact comes into 17hats, send (aka Zap) information to my MailChimp account."
Please note Zapier integration is only available in Premier (Level 3) plans.
Connect with Zapier
First connect your Zapier account to 17hats. You can do this through our Integrations page in your Account Setting in 17hats.
Zap Template Creation
By creating a Zap Template you will ensure the two accounts stay synced.
Adjustments to your MailChimp Account
Because of how MailChimp has set up Zapier, I would suggest making a few adjustments to your MailChimp account first.
1) In MailChimp, access your Signup Form > Form Builder as seen below.
2) Remove the Address field populated in the Form.
MailChimp has setup their integration with Zapier so that the WHOLE address must be completed in order for the Zap to work. Meaning, you can't even leave it blank.
Many 17hats member do not collect address information on Lead Capture Forms, therefore the Zap would not work. By removing this field, your Zap will work.
3) If you would like to have the Address in Zap, add a new Text field for the Address as seen below. All you will need is one field instead of the multiple ones they had before.

FAQ About this Template:
Birthday is not linked, why not? There is still something funky happening with birthdays. (Don't worry we are looking into it.) But, because of it, we decided to keep it out.
