Sage CRM 2020 R2: Mailchimp - An Introduction (Part 1 of 7)

1 minute read time.

In this series of articles, I will walk through the process of configuring the integration and testing out a first Mailchimp campaign driven through the Sage CRM user interface.

I found it very easy to create, send, and track email marketing campaigns. The results from the campaign are shown within Sage CRM and you can see how many people opened the email and exactly what they clicked. Mailchimp's offering is very attractive to those customers just starting out with email-based campaigns as it is free for subscriber lists with a limited number of contacts. You can see the pricing here: http://mailchimp.com/pricing/
