Mailchimp is a popular platform for sending email marketing campaigns to your customers. Mana offers a built-in integration with Mailchimp, allowing you to automatically sync your studio's users and their relevant data for targeted email campaigns.
What Data is Sent to Mailchimp?
When you enable the Mailchimp integration, Mana will sync your users to your selected Mailchimp audience. The following data is sent:
Mana uses Mailchimp's merge fields to store user-specific information. These fields are automatically created (if missing) and updated for each user:
FNAME : First NameExample: "Alice"
LNAME : Last NameExample: "Smith"
CREATED_AT : Studio user since (date)Example: "2024-06-01"
PHONE : Phone numberExample: "+46701234567"
CREDITS : Class credits (number)Example: 10
CRED_EXP : Class credits expire at (date)Example: "2024-07-01"
MS_STATUS : Membership statusExample: "active_member"
LAST_CB : Last class booking (date)Example: "2024-06-10"
LAST_CCI : Last class check-in (date)Example: "2024-06-10"
Note: Merge field tags are limited to 10 characters by Mailchimp.
Mana uses tags in Mailchimp to help you segment your users based on their memberships:
Active Memberships: Tags in the format
membership: [Membership Name]are added for each active membership a user has.
Ended Memberships: Tags in the format
previous_membership: [Membership Name]are added for each ended membership.
These tags are automatically updated as users gain or lose memberships.
