Connect for Mailchimp is a real-time integration between iMIS and Mailchimp that synchronises contacts, preferences and campaign engagement data automatically. It allows organisations to power Mailchimp audiences using live iMIS data and write delivery, open, click and unsubscribe activity back into iMIS for reporting and insight. The result is lower costs, less manual work, and a clear understanding of how email campaigns contribute to engagement, retention and growth.

Email campaigns are easy to send. Understanding who’s engaging — and what that means for your organisation — is where the real value lies. Mailchimp is popular because it’s affordable, powerful and easy to use. Connect for Mailchimp makes it strategic. By connecting Mailchimp directly to iMIS, every campaign becomes part of a wider engagement picture — not a disconnected marketing activity.

Affordable email. Enterprise-level insight.

Many organisations choose Mailchimp because it’s cost-effective. But without integration, that affordability comes at a price: Manual uploads and downloads, out-of-date lists and engagement data trapped in marketing tools. Connect for Mailchimp removes those compromises. You keep the flexibility and pricing of Mailchimp while gaining the control, visibility and confidence that comes from connected data.
 
One live audience, always up to date.
Connect for Mailchimp provides a deep, continuous integration with iMIS. Contacts are kept permanently synchronised. Communication preferences stay aligned. There’s no need to rebuild audiences or manage duplicate lists. Up to 26 iMIS fields can be synchronised per contact, allowing campaigns to be: 

  • Personalised with real membership data
  • Filtered by member type, location or demographics
  • Targeted using live status — not static exports

Your marketing reflects reality, not yesterday’s data.
 
Engagement written back to iMIS.
After each campaign, Mailchimp engagement metrics are automatically written back into iMIS and stored against individual contact records, including: delivered, opened, clicked. unsubscribed, bounced, Mailchimp rating which turns email activity into engagement insight — not just campaign performance. 

Insight that connects the dots.
With dashboards built on standard iMIS reporting, teams can explore email engagement in context. They can answer questions like:

  • Which member types engage most with campaigns?
  • Are paid members opening and clicking?
  • Which links drive action?
  • Where does engagement drop off?

Because the data lives in iMIS, it can be analysed alongside events, learning, renewals and other interactions giving leaders a fuller picture of what’s working.
 
Why this matters...
Email is one of the strongest indicators of interest and intent. Connect for Mailchimp ensures those signals aren’t lost — they’re captured, connected and ready to inform your next move. That’s how organisations use affordable tools intelligently and turn campaigns into lasting engagement.
