Supported Use Cases
- Contact lists can be created in iMIS via IQA and synchronized to MailChimp on a scheduled basis. Upon completion of the synchronization, contact information is updated in MailChimp where e-mail communications can be sent to the various contact lists.
- Custom fields for contacts, such as paid through date, YTD donations and the like can be synched with MailChimp through IQA.
- Tags for contacts, such as member type, CEO, Company Admin and the like can be synched with MailChimp through IQA to be used for segmenting e-mail campaigns.
- Interests for contacts, such as committee participation, chapter affiliation, and the like can be synched with MailChimp through IQA to be used for segmenting e-mail campaigns.
- Actions taken by mail recipients at MailChimp can be written back to iMIS. This data can be used to various purposes, including driving future e-mail campaigns. For example, a promotional email can be sent to contacts encouraging them to register for an upcoming event. Information regarding who opened an email, clicked on a link in the email, etc. will be stored in iMIS. Using the power of the IQA, a query can be built to create a personalized message for:
- Recipients who never opened the email
- Recipients who opened the email but didn't click on a link
- Recipients who opened the email, clicked the link, added the registration to their cart but didn't check out (perhaps send them a coupon)
- Recipients who opened the email, clicked the link, added the registration to their cart, and checked out
- Recipients who performed any action but have never attended
- Recipients who performed any action and are frequent attendees
- Using the power of the IQA you can cross tabulate MailChimp actions with your iMIS data to create pinpoint targeted campaigns.
- Use SimpleTexting and Mailchimp SMS to send texts to members like you would send an email to a list.
