Overview
How Mailchimp and Plandalf split the work
Plandalf sells and records the purchase. Mailchimp gets the buyer and the context, and does the emailing.

Native app available
Mailchimp is a step inside a Plandalf sequence. When a checkout completes, an invoice is paid or a buyer takes an upsell, the Mailchimp step can record event, add tags to contact, remove tags from contact, add or update contact and unsubscribe contact, with the buyer's email and name, the products and the price paid already filled in. Connect the account once, from inside the sequence editor.
Mailchimp owns

Plandalf owns
- The checkout and the payment
- Who bought what, and for how much
- The event that starts the email
Set it up
Connect Mailchimp in three steps
The short version. No code unless you want it.
- 1
Pick the trigger
Open Automations, start a sequence and choose what starts it. Checkout completed is the usual one; invoice paid, invoice refunded, upsell accepted and cart abandoned are there too.
- 2
Add a Mailchimp step
Add a step and choose Mailchimp. The first time, Plandalf asks you to connect your Mailchimp account, right there in the editor.
- 3
Choose the action and switch it on
Pick record event, add tags to contact, remove tags from contact, add or update contact, unsubscribe contact. The buyer, products and price are already on the event; map any extra fields, then turn the sequence on and run a test checkout to watch it fire.
- Also with Promos: drop the Plandalf countdown image into a Mailchimp campaign; enrol Mailchimp subscribers via Customer Journey. Promos docs →

Questions
Common questions about Mailchimp and Plandalf
The short answers. The docs have the long ones.
Is there a native Mailchimp app?
Yes. Mailchimp is a step you add inside a Plandalf sequence: connect the account once, then pick the Mailchimp action for each event. No middleware.
What does Plandalf do in Mailchimp?
The Mailchimp step can record event, add tags to contact, remove tags from contact, add or update contact, unsubscribe contact. Each carries the buyer's email and name, the products, the price paid, the coupon and the offer they bought from.
Can I run a countdown in a Mailchimp email?
Yes. Promos render a per-recipient countdown image; drop the URL into a Mailchimp email and each subscriber sees a timer pegged to their own deadline.
Does Plandalf send email itself?
Plandalf sends receipts and transactional email. Newsletters, sequences and campaigns stay in Mailchimp, triggered by what happens at checkout.
Can I disconnect Mailchimp later?
Yes. Disconnecting revokes access; contacts already created in Mailchimp stay there, and the sequence history stays in Plandalf.
