Here's how to pull your event into MailChimp to send out!

If you're already set up and in your Eventbrite account and have your connection live in MailChimp,this is way easy. After you set up and publish your event in Eventbrite, click on "Send Invitations". One of your first choices will be "Use MailChimp". Click on that link and we'll take you straight into a campaign. Choose your list on the Recipients step and enter your set up info on the Setup step. Clicking next to get to the Design step will take you automagically to the right Template and pull in all your Event details. Nifty, yes?

If you haven't connected already - here's how to set it all up:

  1. Once you get to Design step, choose Designer Templates and then Eventbrite Event Invitations.

  2. Select an event template.
  3. If you're not already connected to Eventbrite, we'll ask for your API key (you may be asked to login to your account to get the key, but there's a link in the app you can follow to find it easily).
  4. We'll take you right back to MailChimp and you can choose the event or events you'd like to send out.

Once you've done that, we'll populate your campaign for you with the event title, description, date, location, a map and the link to RSVP. Then, you can upload a header graphic or logo, use our design themes if you want to easily change colors or use the options on the style editor to make changes to the look. Or you can use the content editor to add more text to the campaign.

When you have your design set up, just continue to the next step to set up your plain text version and review your campaign. We'll walk you through the rest of it in the system.
