Let’s dive in!

🔌 Step 1: Connect Odoo to Mailchimp (The Easy Way)

Before you can launch killer campaigns, you need to sync your Odoo contacts with Mailchimp. Here’s how:

Option A: Use the Odoo Mailchimp Connector (Recommended)

1. Install the Mailchimp Connector
   • Go to Odoo Apps → Search for "Mailchimp" → Install the official integration.
2. Connect Your Mailchimp Account
   • Navigate to Settings → Mailchimp → Enter your API key (found in Mailchimp under Account → Extras → API Keys).
3. Sync Contacts Automatically
   • Choose which Odoo contacts (leads, customers, or partners) to sync with Mailchimp.

Option B: Manual Export/Import (For Occasional Use)

If you prefer manual control:

1. Export Odoo contacts as a CSV file (Sales → Contacts → Export).
2. Import into Mailchimp (Audience → Add Contacts → Import).

💡 Pro Tip: Use the Odoo connector for real-time updates—no more outdated lists!

🎯 Step 2: Segment Your Audience for Laser-Targeted Campaigns

Sending the same email to all your contacts is a missed opportunity. Mailchimp’s segmentation + Odoo’s rich customer data = hyper-personalized emails.

Smart Ways to Segment Your Odoo-Mailchimp Audience:

1. By Purchase Behavior
   • Target frequent buyers with loyalty discounts.
   • Re-engage inactive customers with a special offer.
2. By Location or Demographics
   • Send region-specific promotions (e.g., local events, shipping deals).
3. By Engagement Level
   • Reward subscribers who open every email.
   • Re-target those who haven’t engaged in 30+ days.

💡 Bonus: Use Odoo’s POS/eCommerce data to segment based on product interests!

🤖 Step 3: Automate Email Workflows (Save Time, Boost Sales)

Why manually send emails when automation can do it for you? Here’s how to set up hands-off email campaigns:
