Your email list is the most important marketing tool to spread the word, make sales, and grow your business. Send your Olark chat participants to a designated mailchimp list using our Olark to mailchimp integration.

In order to connect Olark and mailchimp, you must first have an Olark account and a mailchimp account. If you don’t already have an account with Olark, sign up here.

To add Olark visitors to your mailchimp mailing lists by typing a command in chat, follow these simple steps:

  1. Log into Olark, go to the mailchimp integration page and click Authenticate.
