This automation scenario allows you to connect Mailchimp, Slack, Google Sheets, and Gmail.
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated scripts using a simple drag-and-drop interface for non-technical users. This is a ready-made scenario, but it can be customized by adding more apps, actions, filters or branches.
Mailchimp, Slack, Google Sheets and Gmail can also be integrated using automation tools other than ifttt:
When this trigger fires in Mailchimp
This Trigger fires every time there is a new campaign summary available.
Then these actions happen in Google Sheets, Gmail and Gmail
This Action will post a message to the channel you choose in Slack.
This action will add a single row to the bottom of the first worksheet of a spreadsheet you specify. Note: a new spreadsheet is created after 2000 rows.
This Action will send an email to up to twenty recipients from your Gmail account.
