C1 provides identity governance for Mailchimp. Integrate your Mailchimp account with C1 for unified visibility and governance over the account behind the connection.

The connector syncs the authenticated Mailchimp account as a single user identity — the account owner — carrying their account role (for example owner), Mailchimp username, and contact email.
Mailchimp’s Marketing API does not expose an endpoint for listing the people (team seats) who can sign in to a Mailchimp account — that surface is available only in the Mailchimp web app. This connector therefore syncs a single identity representing the authenticated account itself, populated from the Mailchimp API root (GET /3.0/). It is identities-only: it does not sync entitlements or grants, and it does not sync your audience subscribers (those are marketing contacts, not account users).

Gather Mailchimp credentials

You need a Mailchimp Marketing API key. It grants API access as your account, so treat it as a secret. The key embeds your account’s data center as a suffix after a hyphen (for example ...-us19).
1
Sign in to Mailchimp as the owner of the account you want to sync.
2
Open Account & billing, then go to Extras → API keys.
3
Click Create A Key, give it a descriptive name, and copy the generated key — you will not be able to see it again.
4
Note your data center. It is the part of the API key that follows the hyphen (for example, in 0123...cdef-us19 the data center is us19). It also appears at the start of your Mailchimp app URL (https://us19.admin.mailchimp.com/).
