Prerequisites

  • Read the Allowed IP addresses topic before you begin. You may not be able to connect to certain data sources without first allowing the Batch IP addresses. In these circumstances, connection tests will always fail and you will not be able to complete the pipeline.

Create pipeline

  1. In Data Loader, click Add pipeline.
  2. Choose Mailchimp from the grid of data sources.
  3. Choose Batch Loading.

Choose an existing entry from the dropdown menu or click Manage and then click Add new credential to configure a new managed API Key entry.

Choose tables

Choose any tables you wish to include in the pipeline. Use the arrow buttons to move tables to the Tables to extract and load listbox and then reorder any tables with click-and-drag. Additionally, select multiple tables using the SHIFT key.

:::info{title='Note'} - If the table contains: UpdatedAt, LastChanged, Timestamp, or TimeAdded, a standard incremental load is performed. - If the table contains: Date or Day, records are deleted for the current max date (to get rid of partial records) then a standard incremental load is performed. :::

Click Continue with X tables to move forward.

Use the arrow buttons to move columns out of the Columns to extract and load listbox. Order columns with click-and-drag. Select multiple columns using SHIFT.

To continue and then click Done.

Click Continue once you have configured each table.
