How do I send a Mailchimp campaign immediately?
Short answer: Drop the "Mailchimp → Send Campaign" action anywhere in your workflow, map the inputs from upstream nodes, and publish.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Campaign ID campaign_id | string | Required | Mailchimp campaign web ID/ID — a 10-char hex. Find via List Campaigns. |
Sample request
{"campaign_id": "e.g. abc12def34"}

FAQ
Questions about Send Campaign.
What does the Send Campaign action do in Mailchimp?
Sends a Mailchimp campaign immediately. The campaign must be in "save" status with content and audience configured first.
What inputs does Send Campaign require?
Required: Campaign ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Mailchimp returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does Send Campaign support batch operations?
Yes. Run Send Campaign inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Mailchimp's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
