MAINTAINING MEMBERS IN MAILCHIMP

Information about our members is located under the Audience tab. Following describes how to maintain current information.

Click on Audience,

ADDITIONS of new members are automatically uploaded to Mailchimp from WordPress.

DELETIONS of non-renewing members must be done manually. This is done annually by the club secretary. See note below with regard to permanently deleting vs archiving these.

You cannot add a deleted contact back to your audience. The only way to add that contact back is if they re-join through a Mailchimp signup form. Archiving contacts, on the other hand, is reversible. If you have outdated or inactive contacts that don’t interact with your campaigns, you should choose to archive them.

Under your Audiences tab on your Mailchimp account, select Signup Forms. Next, choose Embedded Forms. Customize your form how you like, then copy the code at the bottom of the page. You can paste this into any post or page on your website, and your Mailchimp embed signup form WordPress will appear.

CHANGES to make changes click on Audience (I like to then click on the Last Name column to alphabetize); click on email address of contact you want to edit; in the Profile Info box on the right click on Edit Profile make changes and scroll to bottom to save). To change Tags (Officer, Member) the Tax Box is below the Profile Box.
