How can you send email with Mailchimp?

You will need to set up a function called campaign or automation, and then start a new email, create a design, write your content, and send it out.

Campaigns on Mailchimp are sent on a certain time, for example, December 20th at 10 am. Automation will send out emails as a response to certain triggers, for example, if someone subscribed to your newsletter – a welcome message is sent out, or if someone bought something from your webshop, a receipt will follow, or if someone completed a survey, they can get a free bonus as a thanks.  

Like many of its competitors, Mailchimp has very simple automation functions. Instead of setting up your own automations, Mailchimp offers 15 predefined automation workflows to choose from.
