UpContent's partnership with Mailchimp allows you to easily and efficiently position your brand as a resource for your subscribers through the use of curated 3rd party articles.

Want more value? This integration can be used in tandem with UpContent's Sniply integration - increasing direct and indirect conversions with your curated posts.

Connecting the two platforms is a one-time activity that can be done by any team member who has access to both UpContent and Mailchimp.

Creating your Mailchimp email digest campaign from an UpContent Collection

With your Mailchimp and UpContent accounts connected, creating your Mailchimp email digest campaign is as easy as:

  2. Scroll down to find your Mailchimp integration and click the "Create Mailchimp Email Campaign" button.
