MailChimp to iCampaign Integration: Limitations and Alternative Solutions (iCampaign)

Overview: iCampaign does not connect directly to MailChimp. Subscribers in iCampaign come from CRM records, manual entry, or CSV imports — not from MailChimp directly.

Current Integration Capabilities

MailChimp Integration in CRM (Not iCampaign)

The MailChimp integration exists in the Dazos CRM, where it:

  • Syncs CRM records to MailChimp

  • Pulls campaign activity (opens, clicks) back into CRM records

  • Does not sync MailChimp subscribers into iCampaign

How iCampaign Gets Subscribers

  • CRM Sync: New CRM records sync to iCampaign in real time

  • Manual Entry: Individual contacts added directly

  • CSV Import: Bulk subscriber uploads

Alternative Solutions

Option 1 — CSV Export and Import

Best for one-time MailChimp subscriber migrations.

  1. Export your audience from MailChimp as a CSV file

  2. In iCampaign, go to Subscribers

  3. Click Import from the Additional Subscriber Options menu

  4. Upload the CSV file and map columns during import

  5. Complete the import to add contacts as iCampaign subscribers

Option 2 — Zapier Integration Through CRM

Best for ongoing MailChimp newsletter signups flowing into iCampaign automatically.

  1. Set up a Zapier integration (Dazos is a verified Zapier app)

  2. Create a Zap that triggers on "New MailChimp Subscriber"

  3. Configure the action to create a new CRM record

  4. The new CRM record will automatically sync to iCampaign in real time

Tips & Notes

💡 Tip: Use the Zapier approach for ongoing automation and CSV import for one-time migrations.

⚠️ Important: MailChimp signups will only appear in iCampaign if they first create a record in the CRM through manual entry, Zapier, or another CRM integration.

Best Practice: Consider using iCampaign as your primary email marketing platform to avoid maintaining separate subscriber lists across both tools.
