• Add any request parameters needed to subscribe to the entity (optional).
• You can optionally add a transformer to transform the request parameters into something you need.

General Concept

We follow Intuit Mailchimp documentation on building this connector so you can easily use the connector based on Intuit Mailchimp API Reference.

Method

It’s the Method you want to subscribe from Intuit Mailchimp. Based on the Method, the Entity will change. Please refer to the entities in Management APIs from Intuit Mailchimp API Reference page.

Entity

It’s the entity you want to subscribe from Intuit Mailchimp . Please refer to the entities in Management APIs from Intuit Mailchimp API Reference page.

Request Parameters

These are the parameters you can provide to get the needed entity based on Intuit Mailchimp API Reference. Please look at the example below on how to fill the Request Parameters field when subscribing Get campaign content.

The properties inside query parameters will be parsed as query parameters. Here is the final URL that will be called when using such Request Parameters field on Get campaign content.

/campaigns/abc123/content

Input Transformer

Any transformer’s set here will be executed after the Request Parameters are loaded. So, you basically can add any transformer to provide and transform the request parameters into anything you need either as path parameters and/or as query parameters of an entity.

HTTP Client

It’s the HTTP Client configuration or prototype you will use to access Intuit Mailchimp .

Publishing Entity to Intuit Mailchimp

Steps

• Go to Connections → Outgoing, create a new outgoing configuration, and select Intuit Mailchimp Publisher as the publisher.
• Select the action that you want the publisher to do with the data.
• Select the Intuit Mailchimp entity you want the data to be published.
• You can optionally add any query parameters to the request.
• You can also optionally add any transformers to transform the data into anything you need before submitting it to Intuit Mailchimp .
• Select the HTTP Client to use.
  
  

General Concept

Like the subscriber, the publisher has similar methods on how to use it. The difference is the payload that will be submitted by the publisher originating from the data (from routes, from transformers in outgoing configuration), though you can also add or modify payload using the Request Transformer.

Method

Currently, we support Post (HTTP POST method), Patch (HTTP PATCH method), Put (HTTP PUTmethod), and Delete (HTTP DELETE method).

Entity

We support publishing to most Intuit Mailchimp endpoints. Please refer to the entities in Management APIs from the Intuit Mailchimp API Reference page. Based on the documentation, some endpoints may need one or more path parameters.

For endpoints that require an object as the request payload, please look at the example below. For example, we want to Create a Campaign. Please select “Post” as the action and “Add campaign” as the entity of the publisher.

You can put the payload you want to send to Intuit Mailchimp into the payload property in the data.

Alumio will send an API request to Intuit Mailchimp with URL /campaigns

HTTP Client

It’s the HTTP Client configuration or prototype you will use to access Intuit Mailchimp .
