Resolver ICan Mailchimp Audience be imported?
Hi,
I just installed the Mailchimp Connector, and trying to import an audience and compare it to our sales funnel. Only when looking for that data set, I cannot find it. There seems to be only campaign data and summaries.
Please tell me it's possible to import Mailchimp data? Thank you.

Hi benjamin_sasin ,
Is your "audience" data different from other data?May be the cause of the data itself.

benjamin_sasinI am not sure as to what you mean here v-lionel-msft .
After plugging in the MC connector, I expected to see an "audience" data set, with all the contact information and related fields.

Hi benjamin_sasin ,
As tested, Power BI can't import "Audience" data from Mailshimp source.
And I tried to use "Web" connector to get it, but still failed.
So we can do like this to get "Audience" data:
We export "Audience" data directly, then we import the data from local files.

Try this query:
let
Source = Table.FromColumns({Lines.FromBinary(Web.Contents("https://<YOUR MAILCHIMP SERVER>.api.mailchimp.com/export/1.0/list/?apikey=<YOUR API>&id=<YOUR LIST ID>"))})
in

Hi benjamin_sasin Since the Mailchimp service pack was deprecated, you would have to look for another way. As a workaround, maybe you can use a 3rd party connector, it can save you a lot of time compared to other options. I've tried windsor.ai, supermetrics and funnel.io. I stayed with windsor because it is much cheaper so just to let you know other options. In case you wonder, to make the connection first search for the Mailchimp connector in the data sources list:
After that, you will have to first create a secret API key in your Mailchimp account and then using your credentials add your account to the platform.
Once you’ve done this, you can proceed and go to the “Preview and destination” step
There just select the fields you need. Finally, just select PBI as your data destination and finally just copy and paste the url on PBI --> Get Data --> Web --> Paste the url.
