Generate Your Mailchimp API Key

To establish the connection between Donorfy and Mailchimp, you must first create a Mailchimp API key.

📌Note:
The API key must be created by a Mailchimp Admin user. Mailchimp’s API permission model requires admin-level access for integrations.

  1. Sign in to your Mailchimp account.

  2. Click your profile name in the top-right corner and select Account.

  3. Go to Extras, then choose API keys.

  4. Click Create A Key.

  5. Mailchimp generates a unique API key, which appears in the Your API Keys list.

  6. Copy the key to your clipboard (Ctrl+C).

📌 Note: For detailed guidance, refer to the Mailchimp Knowledge Base.


Add the API Key to Donorfy

  1. In Donorfy, go to Integrations, then click Mailchimp.

  2. Select Settings.

  3. Paste the API key into the Mailchimp API Key field.

  4. Click Test Settings to verify the connection.

  5. Once verified, click Save Changes.
