[Integrations](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en) # Connect Mailchimp and Add Candidates or Clients to Mailing List ## Connect your Mailchimp account with Enginehire to manually add Candidates or Clients to your Mailchimp audiences. You can configure your Mailchimp credentials and audience lists in Enginehire, then select the people you want to add and send them to the appropriate audience. This integration provides a manual, one-way push from Enginehire to Mailchimp. It does not automatically synchronize people between the two platforms, and removing someone from Enginehire does not remove them from Mailchimp. Let’s get started 🚀 ### **Connect Mailchimp with your Agency** Connect your Mailchimp account with Enginehire by entering your Mailchimp credentials and adding the audiences you want to use for your Candidates or Clients.  **Step 1**: Log in to your agent dashboard and click the **More** button on the right-hand side of the interface. ![image15](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Integrations/Connect%20Mailchimp%20and%20Add%20Candidates%20or%20Clients%20to%20Mailing%20List/image15.png?width=670&height=131&name=image15.png) **Step 2**: Click the **Integrations** option under the **Settings**. ![image8](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Integrations/Connect%20Mailchimp%20and%20Add%20Candidates%20or%20Clients%20to%20Mailing%20List/image8.png?width=670&height=223&name=image8.png) **Step 3**: Search for **Mailchimp** in the search bar, and click the **Mailchimp** tile in the search results.  ![image18](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Integrations/Connect%20Mailchimp%20and%20Add%20Candidates%20or%20Clients%20to%20Mailing%20List/image18.png?width=670&height=235&name=image18.png) **Step 4**: Enter the **Mailchimp User** and **Mailchimp API Key**, and add at least one **Audience** with its **name** and **Audience ID**. Then, click the **Save Changes** button.  All three fields are required; otherwise, you will not be able to select an audience as the mailing list in the [**Add Candidate or Client to List**](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/connect-mailchimp-and-add-candidates-or-clients-to-mailing-list#add-candidates-or-clients-to-list) section. If you have not added an audience to your Mailchimp account, you can refer to the [**Add Contacts in Mailchimp Audience**](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/connect-mailchimp-and-add-candidates-or-clients-to-mailing-list#add-contacts-in-mailchimp-audience) section below. To generate an API key in your Mailchimp account, refer to the [**Generate API Key**](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/connect-mailchimp-and-add-candidates-or-clients-to-mailing-list#generate-api-key) section below. ![image6](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Integrations/Connect%20Mailchimp%20and%20Add%20Candidates%20or%20Clients%20to%20Mailing%20List/image6.png?width=670&height=528&name=image6.png) The Mailchimp integration will be connected successfully. ![image20](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Integrations/Connect%20Mailchimp%20and%20Add%20Candidates%20or%20Clients%20to%20Mailing%20List/image20.png?width=670&height=496&name=image20.png) ### **Add Candidates or Clients to List** Add selected Candidates or Clients to a Mailchimp audience from their respective tab.  For demonstration purposes, this article uses **Candidates** as an example. You can follow the same steps to add **Clients** from the **Clients** tab.  **Step 1**: On your agent dashboard, select the checkboxes next to the candidates you want to add to Mailchimp. ![image2](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Integrations/Connect%20Mailchimp%20and%20Add%20Candidates%20or%20Clients%20to%20Mailing%20List/image2.png?width=670&height=299&name=image2.png) **Step 2**: Click the **Bulk actions** button to view the available actions for the selected Candidates.  ![image4](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Integrations/Connect%20Mailchimp%20and%20Add%20Candidates%20or%20Clients%20to%20Mailing%20List/image4.png?width=670&height=299&name=image4.png)    **Step 3**: Click the **Select any mailing list** field to open the dropdown list. ![image5](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Integrations/Connect%20Mailchimp%20and%20Add%20Candidates%20or%20Clients%20to%20Mailing%20List/image5.png?width=670&height=276&name=image5.png)    **Step 4**: Select the audience to which you want to add the selected Candidates.  The dropdown displays the audiences you added when configuring the Mailchimp integration.  ![image12](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Integrations/Connect%20Mailchimp%20and%20Add%20Candidates%20or%20Clients%20to%20Mailing%20List/image12.png?width=670&height=299&name=image12.png) **Step 5**: Click the **Add (N) Users to Mailchimp** button to proceed. ![image3](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Integrations/Connect%20Mailchimp%20and%20Add%20Candidates%20or%20Clients%20to%20Mailing%20List/image3.png?width=670&height=293&name=image3.png) Adding people from the **Candidates** or **Clients** tab is manual. Separately, if a Mailchimp audience is selected on an application form, people who submit that form are added to that audience automatically.  ### **Generate API Key** Generate an API key in Mailchimp to connect your Mailchimp account with Enginehire.  **Step 1**: On your Mailchimp dashboard, click the search bar.  ![image9](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Integrations/Connect%20Mailchimp%20and%20Add%20Candidates%20or%20Clients%20to%20Mailing%20List/image9.png?width=670&height=197&name=image9.png)    **Step 2**: Search for **API** in the search bar, and select **API keys** from the search results.  ![image16](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Integrations/Connect%20Mailchimp%20and%20Add%20Candidates%20or%20Clients%20to%20Mailing%20List/image16.png?width=670&height=403&name=image16.png)    **Step 3**: Scroll down and click the **Create a Key** button. ![image10](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Integrations/Connect%20Mailchimp%20and%20Add%20Candidates%20or%20Clients%20to%20Mailing%20List/image10.png?width=670&height=296&name=image10.png) **Step 4**: Enter a name for the **API Key**, and click the **Generate Key** button.     ![image19](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Integrations/Connect%20Mailchimp%20and%20Add%20Candidates%20or%20Clients%20to%20Mailing%20List/image19.png?width=670&height=286&name=image19.png) **Step 5**: Click the **Copy to Clipboard** button to copy the API key. You can only see the full API key immediately after generating it. After that, you won't be able to view the actual key again. Copy and save the API key somewhere secure, or use it to connect your agency right away.  ![image11](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Integrations/Connect%20Mailchimp%20and%20Add%20Candidates%20or%20Clients%20to%20Mailing%20List/image11.png?width=670&height=347&name=image11.png) **Step 6**: Click the **Done** button. ![image14](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Integrations/Connect%20Mailchimp%20and%20Add%20Candidates%20or%20Clients%20to%20Mailing%20List/image14.png?width=670&height=347&name=image14.png) ### **Add Contacts in Mailchimp Audience** Add contacts to your Mailchimp audience that you will provide when connecting your Mailchimp account with Enginehire. **Step 1**: On your Mailchimp dashboard, click the **Audience** option in the left-hand side navigation bar.  ![image1](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Integrations/Connect%20Mailchimp%20and%20Add%20Candidates%20or%20Clients%20to%20Mailing%20List/image1.png?width=670&height=203&name=image1.png) **Step 2**: Click **Add contacts** button \> **Add a single contact** option. ![image17](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Integrations/Connect%20Mailchimp%20and%20Add%20Candidates%20or%20Clients%20to%20Mailing%20List/image17.png?width=670&height=196&name=image17.png) **Step 3**: Enter the required details, and click the **Add contact** button. ![image7](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Integrations/Connect%20Mailchimp%20and%20Add%20Candidates%20or%20Clients%20to%20Mailing%20List/image7.png?width=670&height=425&name=image7.png) The added contact will be saved successfully. ![image13](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Integrations/Connect%20Mailchimp%20and%20Add%20Candidates%20or%20Clients%20to%20Mailing%20List/image13.png?width=670&height=314&name=image13.png) - [Onboarding](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/onboarding?hsLang=en) - [Application Forms & Profiles](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/application-forms-profiles?hsLang=en) - [Templates & Communication](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/templates-communication?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Documents](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/templates-communication?hsLang=en#documents) - [Jobs](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/jobs?hsLang=en) - [Payments](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/payments?hsLang=en) - [Integrations](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en) - [App](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/app?hsLang=en) - [For Candidates & Clients](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/for-candidates-clients?hsLang=en) - [Backup Care](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/backup-care?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Instant Book](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/backup-care?hsLang=en#instant-book) - [Data Import & Export](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/data-import-export?hsLang=en) - [Reporting & Logs](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/reporting-logs?hsLang=en) - [Error](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/error?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Authentication](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/error?hsLang=en#authentication) - [Settings](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/settings?hsLang=en) - [Domain](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/domain?hsLang=en) - [Webinars and Training](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/webinars-and-training?hsLang=en) - [Ways to Grow and Make More Money](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/ways-to-grow-and-make-more-money?hsLang=en) - [Placements](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/placements?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Job Board](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/placements?hsLang=en#job-board) - [Enginehire Team Internal Videos](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/enginehire-team-internal-videos?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Settings](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/enginehire-team-internal-videos?hsLang=en#settings) - [AI](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/ai?hsLang=en) - Home - Products - Pricing - Blog - Company [![Chill listening crop-3](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/enginehire%20logo%20thin%20dark%201.0-1.png?width=68&height=24&name=enginehire%20logo%20thin%20dark%201.0-1.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://enginehire.io) Enginehire Help Center Copyright © 2026, Enginehire Inc.
