Several small products, two tools
A seller with a template pack and a workshop keeps a MailerLite group for each, plus a Mailchimp tag for each, so either tool can send a launch email to just that product's buyers.
Native integration
MailerLite + Mailchimp integration
A group per product in MailerLite and a tag per product in Mailchimp, kept in step by Plandalf sequences.
No credit card required. No coding required.
MailerLite
MailchimpDoes MailerLite integrate with Mailchimp?
Plandalf does not sync MailerLite with Mailchimp, but both have native steps. A sequence can add a buyer to a MailerLite group and tag them in Mailchimp, and a new MailerLite subscriber can start a sequence that adds a Mailchimp contact. Only current MailerLite works, not Classic.
What moves between MailerLite and Mailchimp
| Event | From and to | Through | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| Checkout completed | Plandalf → MailerLite | Native step | Find or Create Subscriber first, then Add Subscriber to Group with the subscriber_id it returns. A MailerLite automation that starts when someone joins the group takes over. |
| Checkout completed | Plandalf → Mailchimp | Native step | Add Tags to Contact with a tag for the same product, so a Customer Journey or segment can aim at its buyers. |
| Subscriber created | MailerLite → Mailchimp | Native step | Choose a Group on the trigger to fire only for one group. The trigger hands over email, name and groups, and the sequence runs Add or Update Contact. |
| Contact subscribed | Mailchimp → MailerLite | Native step | A sequence runs Find or Create Subscriber and Add Subscriber to Group, which keeps a MailerLite group topped up from the audience. |
| Invoice refunded | Plandalf → MailerLite | Native step | Remove access on refund pairs Remove Subscriber from Group with Remove Tags from Contact, so a full refund takes the buyer out of both. |
A MailerLite group and a Mailchimp tag for each product
You need a MailerLite API token from the current MailerLite and a Mailchimp key.
Connect MailerLite
In Automation, Marketplace, connect MailerLite with a token from Integrations, MailerLite API. Classic accounts will not connect.
Connect Mailchimp
Connect Mailchimp the same way, with the key including its data-centre suffix.

What sellers do with MailerLite and Mailchimp
Mailchimp audience feeding a MailerLite group
Everyone who subscribes in Mailchimp is added to a MailerLite group with its own automation, so the nurture emails come from the tool the seller prefers.
Limits and gotchas
- Add Subscriber to Group needs a subscriber ID. Passing an email there fails with a group-assignment error, so keep Find or Create Subscriber first.
- MailerLite Classic uses a different API and will not connect.
- MailerLite's Subscriber Created trigger starts on new subscribers, and it may well see ones that Plandalf itself creates. Test before you point it at a sequence that is fed by another one creating MailerLite subscribers.
- Mailchimp's own status for new contacts decides whether they receive marketing. Set it deliberately.
- Neither tool receives the order total through these steps. Store it as a MailerLite field or a Mailchimp event property.
