Mailchimp

Manage Mailchimp audience members, tags, groups, and campaigns.

Overview

Connects to the Mailchimp Marketing API to manage audience list members (create, get, update, delete), member tags (add, remove), list interest groups, and email campaigns (get, list, delete, send, replicate, resend). Uses API key authentication with datacenter-aware URL construction. Supports offset-based pagination for list operations.

Operations

Each resource has its own Operation list, and several resources reuse the same operation values (create, delete, get, getAll). Pick the resource first, then the operation.

Resource	Operation	Value	Description
Member	Create	create	Create a new member on list
Member	Delete	delete	Delete a member on list
Member	Get	get	Get a member on list
Member	Get Many	getAll	Get many members on a list
Member	Update	update	Update a member on list
Member Tag	Create	create	Add tags to a list member
Member Tag	Delete	delete	Remove tags from a list member
List Group	Get Many	getAll	Get many groups
Campaign	Delete	delete	Delete a campaign
Campaign	Get	get	Get a campaign
Campaign	Get Many	getAll	Get many campaigns
Campaign	Replicate	replicate	Replicate a campaign
Campaign	Resend	resend	Creates a Resend to Non-Openers version of this campaign
Campaign	Send	send	Send a campaign

Parameters

Most operations need the List ID — Mailchimp calls it the Audience ID, and you find it under Audience > Settings > Audience name and defaults. The List ID, Email, Campaign ID and Group Category ID fields accept expressions, so they can come from the incoming item ({{ $json.email }}).

Member Create and Member Update each offer two ways to supply merge fields, location and interest groups: the structured form fields, or raw JSON objects. JSON Parameters picks between them, and the two paths are mutually exclusive.

Output Data

The Mailchimp response is merged onto the input item’s JSON at the top level — the returned fields sit alongside the fields the item already carried, so downstream nodes address them directly ({{ $json.email_address }}). A response field with the same name as an existing item field overwrites it. Binary data on the input item is forwarded.

Operations	Output
Member Get Many, Campaign Get Many, List Group Get Many	One output item per record — 500 members become 500 output items from a single input item. A response with no records produces no output items for that input.
Member Create, Member Get, Member Update, Campaign Get, Campaign Replicate, Campaign Resend	One output item carrying the returned member or campaign object.
Member Delete, Member Tag Create, Member Tag Delete, Campaign Delete, Campaign Send	One output item carrying success: true — these calls confirm the change instead of returning a record.

A member object looks like this:

{
  "id": "8a25ff1d98",
  "email_address": "subscriber@example.com",
  "unique_email_id": "1e8d6ba0d2",
  "status": "subscribed",
  "merge_fields": { "FNAME": "John", "LNAME": "Doe" },
  "interests": { "interest123": true },
  "stats": { "avg_open_rate": 0.42, "avg_click_rate": 0.11 },
  "tags": [{ "id": 1234, "name": "customer" }],
  "list_id": "abc123def4",
  "last_changed": "2026-01-15T10:30:00+00:00"
}

When the audience requires double opt-in, Mailchimp returns the new member with status: "pending" even though you asked for subscribed. Member: Create flags that case so it is not mistaken for success:

{
  "status": "pending",
  "_doubleOptInPending": true,
  "_message": "Audience requires double opt-in — member is pending confirmation"
}

Campaign lists return only the fields named by the Fields option, which defaults to a compact set (campaigns.id, campaigns.status, campaigns.tracking and three settings fields); ask for * to get the full campaign object.

Member operations address the subscriber by the hash of their email address, so Member: Create behaves as an upsert — running it for an address that already exists updates that member rather than failing. Use it when you want “add or update” semantics, and Member: Update when the member must already exist.

Member: Delete archives the subscriber rather than erasing them, so the address stays in the audience’s archived list and can be re-subscribed later.

Usage Examples

• Add a subscriber to a Mailchimp audience list
• Get all members from a Mailchimp list
• Add tags to a Mailchimp subscriber
• Send a Mailchimp email campaign
• Get all campaigns from Mailchimp

Example Configuration

Add a subscriber with merge fields, location and interest groups filled in through the form fields:

{
  "type": "mailchimp",
  "parameters": {
    "resource": "member",
    "operation": "create",
    "list": "abc123def4",
    "email": "subscriber@example.com",
    "status": "subscribed",
    "jsonParameters": false,
    "options": {
      "emailType": "html",
      "language": "en",
      "tags": "newsletter,customer",
      "vip": true
    },
    "mergeFieldsUi": {
      "mergeFieldsValues": [
        { "name": "FNAME", "value": "John" },
        { "name": "LNAME", "value": "Doe" }
      ]
    },
    "locationFieldsUi": {
      "locationFieldsValues": {
        "latitude": "40.7128",
        "longitude": "-74.0060"
      }
    },
    "groupsUi": {
      "groupsValues": [
        {
          "categoryId": "interest123",
          "categoryFieldId": "group456",
          "value": true
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Add the same subscriber with raw JSON instead — handy when the data already arrives as objects:

{
  "type": "mailchimp",
  "parameters": {
    "resource": "member",
    "operation": "create",
    "list": "abc123def4",
    "email": "{{ $json.email }}",
    "status": "subscribed",
    "jsonParameters": true,
    "options": {
      "emailType": "html",
      "vip": false
    },
    "mergeFieldsJson": "{\"FNAME\":\"John\",\"LNAME\":\"Doe\",\"COMPANY\":\"Example Corp\"}",
    "locationJson": "{\"latitude\":40.7128,\"longitude\":-74.0060}",
    "groupJson": "{\"interest123\":true,\"interest456\":false}"
  }
}

Change a member’s status and name:

{
  "type": "mailchimp",
  "parameters": {
    "resource": "member",
    "operation": "update",
    "list": "abc123def4",
    "email": "subscriber@example.com",
    "jsonParameters": false,
    "updateFields": {
      "status": "subscribed",
      "vip": true,
      "mergeFieldsUi": {
        "mergeFieldsValues": [
          { "name": "FNAME", "value": "Jane" }
        ]
      },
      "locationFieldsUi": {
        "locationFieldsValues": {
          "latitude": "41.8781",
          "longitude": "-87.6298"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Read one member back:

{
  "type": "mailchimp",
  "parameters": {
    "resource": "member",
    "operation": "get",
    "list": "abc123def4",
    "email": "subscriber@example.com",
    "options": {
      "fields": "id,email_address,status,merge_fields"
    }
  }
}

List recently changed subscribers, one item each:

{
  "type": "mailchimp",
  "parameters": {
    "resource": "member",
    "operation": "getAll",
    "list": "abc123def4",
    "returnAll": false,
    "limit": 50,
    "options": {
      "status": "subscribed",
      "sinceLastChanged": "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z"
    }
  }
}

Remove a subscriber from the audience:

{
  "type": "mailchimp",
  "parameters": {
    "resource": "member",
    "operation": "delete",
    "list": "abc123def4",
    "email": "{{ $json.email }}"
  }
}

  "parameters": {
    "resource": "memberTag",
    "operation": "create",
    "list": "abc123def4",
    "email": "subscriber@example.com",
    "tags": "customer,vip,newsletter",
    "options": {
      "isSyncing": false
    }
  }
}

    "resource": "campaign",
    "operation": "get",
    "campaignId": "campaign123"

      "sortDirection": "DESC",
      "fields": "campaigns.id,campaigns.settings.title,campaigns.status"
    }

    "resource": "campaign",
    "operation": "send",
    "campaignId": "{{ $json.id }}"
  }
}
