Mailchimp is an all-in-one marketing platform designed for bulk email sending. It allows you to send emails to multiple recipients simultaneously, typically for marketing purposes.

Groove does not directly support sending bulk emails, but you can integrate with Mailchimp to connect to Groove, which has this functionality. With the Mailchimp integration, you’ll be able to:

  • See customer mailing list subscriptions next to every conversation

  • View a customer’s profile for any mailing list

  • Subscribe or unsubscribe a customer from a Mailchimp list without leaving Groove

Install

Head over to your Apps → Mailchimp and then click Connect.

Follow the prompts to connect Mailchimp and Groove accounts via OAuth. Once the integration is installed, you can choose which Groove inboxes you’d like to activate it for under settings.

Now, whenever you open a conversation, Groove will automatically check to see if the sender’s email address is subscribed to any of your lists. If so, the user's Mailchimp information will appear in the right sidebar.

You can also add customers to any list:

Or remove them:

Uninstall

You can remove the Mailchimp integration at any time by visiting the integrations page in Groove, opening up the Mailchimp settings, and clicking Uninstall Mailchimp at the bottom of the drawer.
