How do I trigger when a Mailchimp campaign is sent?

Short answer: In TinyCommand, add the Mailchimp Campaign Sent trigger to a workflow and publish. It listens through a Mailchimp webhook and fires your workflow within seconds of the event, with no polling and no code. Add a filter if you only want some events to start a run.

FAQ

Questions about Campaign Sent.

How does the Campaign Sent trigger work in Mailchimp?

Fires when a Mailchimp campaign is sent. Use to log the send to your data warehouse, post the recap to Slack, or notify stakeholders.

Is the Campaign Sent trigger real-time?

Yes. Campaign Sent uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Mailchimp.

What data does Campaign Sent return?

The full event payload from Mailchimp. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.

Can I filter Campaign Sent so only some events start a workflow?

Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.

Do I need Mailchimp admin permissions to use Campaign Sent?

For most Mailchimp accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Mailchimp plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Mailchimp's docs if the trigger fails to register.
