Create a campaign
Creates an unsent campaign for one audience, or a segment of it, with its subject line, sender and settings.
Note: Add the content with PUT /campaigns/{campaign_id}/content before sending.
Set up
Use the first option your agent supports.
API (official)
- Base URL: https://{dc}.api.mailchimp.com/3.0
- Endpoint:
POST /campaigns - Auth: send the header
Authorization: Bearer $MAILCHIMP_API_KEY - Get a key: https://us1.admin.mailchimp.com/account/api/
- Docs: https://mailchimp.com/developer/marketing/api/
Note: {dc} is your data center, the part of the API key after the dash, such as us6.
Before anything else, confirm access with the cheapest read-only call, like a list or a search. Never send or change anything to test access.
Rules
- Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data, and say how many records it touches. One approval covers a batch the user has seen.
- Never print API keys.
