Mailchimp is an email marketing and automation platform for managing audiences, sending campaigns, and building customer journeys. Connect it to Rocket and describe the email flow you want in chat. Rocket generates the complete logic: audience management, campaign creation, automation triggers, and subscriber forms.
What you can use it for
Email campaigns
One-time or recurring campaigns to your entire audience or targeted segments.
Audience segmentation
Organize contacts by behavior, tags, or custom fields and send targeted emails.
A/B testing campaigns
Test different subject lines, content, or send times to optimize email performance.
Automated drip campaigns
Multi-step email sequences triggered by subscriber actions or time delays.
Signup forms and list growth
Embedded signup forms that automatically grow your Mailchimp audience.

Tips and limitations
- Mailchimp uses OAuth, not API keys. You authorize Rocket through Mailchimp’s login flow. No keys to copy or rotate.
- Free tier includes 500 contacts and 1,000 sends per month. Automation and scheduling are not available on the free plan. Upgrade for larger audiences and features like A/B testing.
- Campaign design happens in Mailchimp. Rocket can trigger sends and manage subscribers, but visual email template editing is best done in Mailchimp’s built-in designer.
- Manage audiences in Mailchimp. You can add subscribers through Rocket, but removing contacts, managing compliance, and editing audience settings must be done in the Mailchimp dashboard.
- One Mailchimp account per project. Each Rocket project connects to one Mailchimp account.
