Connect Mailchimp and describe the email flow you want in chat. Rocket generates the complete logic: audience management, campaign creation, automation triggers, and subscriber forms.
Mailchimp connects via OAuth - no API keys to manage. You authorize access through Mailchimp's own login flow. Pair with [Supabase](/build/connectors/supabase/overview) for user data and [Stripe](/build/connectors/stripe) for purchase-triggered campaigns.
## What you can do
One-time or recurring campaigns to your entire audience or targeted segments.
Organize contacts by behavior, tags, or custom fields and send targeted emails.
Test different subject lines, content, or send times to optimize email performance.
Multi-step email sequences triggered by subscriber actions or time delays.
Embedded signup forms that automatically grow your Mailchimp audience.
## Before you connect
Make sure you have a [Mailchimp account](https://mailchimp.com) with at least one audience created. Mailchimp connects via OAuth, so no API key is needed.
## Connect Mailchimp
You can connect from three places - all redirect to the same Mailchimp authorization page.
**Option 1: From chat**
Type a prompt that mentions Mailchimp - for example, `Connect Mailchimp and add an email signup form to my landing page`. Rocket detects the intent and shows a **Connect** button inline. Click it to start the authorization flow.
**Option 2: From the Connectors tab**
Click the **`...`** button in the preview toolbar, then select **Connectors**.
Click the **Mailchimp** card, then click **Connect**.
**Option 3: From workspace Settings**
Connect once at the workspace level and it is available to all your projects.
**After clicking Connect**
You are redirected to Mailchimp's authorization page. Log in if prompted, review the permissions, and click **Allow** to grant Rocket access to your audiences, campaigns, and templates.
A green dot appears next to Mailchimp when the connection is active.
**Disconnect**
Mailchimp is connected at the workspace level - disconnecting removes access for all projects.
Go to **Settings > Connectors** to disconnect Mailchimp.
Tap the **More** button in the header, then tap **Integrations**. Tap the **Mailchimp** card, then tap **Connect**.

## Tips
* **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.
