How to use MailChimp to import and verify your email lists

Our MailChimp integration allows you to easily import your email lists, verify and export the verification results back to MailChimp. Unlock Mailchimp email verification by following our quick guide.

What you need to get started:

• a DataValidation account
• a MailChimp account with email lists

Getting started

You can also signup directly with MailChimp and authorize us to access your MailChimp account. Just input your login credentials and you’re good to go.

Linking a Mailchimp account

To get started, login to your DataValidation account and click on + Add lists.

Then, select Integrations and click on Link with Mailchimp.

You will be redirected to the MailChimp login page and asked to input your login credentials. The window will close and DataValidation will connect to your MailChimp account.

A few seconds later, you will see that your MailChimp account has appeared in the import sources list. After you click on it, you will see all your Mailchimp lists. Select the ones you want to import and click on Import selected lists. Once imported the list will be analyzed and verified just like an uploaded list.

Verifying your email lists

Once the import finishes you will receive the Free List Quality Report with a score from 0 to 100 which represents the overall health of your email list and a Grade Breakdown.

To sync the verification results back to your MailChimp account, you need to purchase the verified email lists. Click on Add to cart, which will add the list to your cart. You can add all the lists you want to verify to the shopping cart before checkout.

Complete the checkout and that’s it! Now your verified lists will be synced back you your MailChimp account.

How to use the verified lists in MailChimp

DataValidation will create a Safe to send segment which will contain only the email addresses graded A or A+.

To find the specific segment go to Manage contacts -> View contacts.

From there, go to View Saved Segments and select Safe to send.

Here you will see all email addresses graded with A and A+ - our recommendation is to send only to this segment.

You can now start using our MailChimp email cleaner integration to increase deliverability and improve email marketing results!
