MailChimp Connector

[rtooley]

The MailChimp connector appears to no longer be a connector. At least not in the desktop version. Short of MailChimp ODBC driver, how can you connect to MailChimp data?

Hi @rtooley 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.

Hi,

I maybe you should look into other integrated options to avoid such issues. I suggest you look into Touchdown for D365 & PowerApps. Here's their website for more info if you like https://www.touchdown.co/dynamics-mailchimp-integration-en/

Hi @rtooley ,

Currently, Power BI Desktop doesn't have MailChimp Connector. You can choose to connect to MailChimp in Power BI Service.

Or, you can find some ODBC Drivers for MailChimp. But all the drives I found cost extra.

Hi there @Icey - thanks for the suggestion.  I am trying to find the connector in the service and I can't seem to be able to find it.  Am I not searching in the correct place, or has Power BI changed the availability in the service?

Hmm, I always thought MailChimp was in the Service only.
