Good to know

Mailchimp

Every Mailchimp contact lives inside an audience, so a Mailchimp destination in a sync rule must target a specific audience. Pick one when you add the destination.

Copper

Copper has no marketing lists or unsubscribe field, so OpenContact exposes your whole people book as one importable source and marks suppressed contacts with an unsubscribed tag.

Questions

Does OpenContact sync unsubscribes between Mailchimp and Copper?

Yes. When Mailchimp or Copper reports an unsubscribe, bounce or spam complaint, OpenContact records it and passes it to the destinations your rules select.

Do I need a CSV to move contacts between Mailchimp and Copper?

No. Import contacts from one tool into OpenContact, then send them to the other with a sync rule. To move a whole list, use list migration.

Does connecting Mailchimp and Copper cost extra?

Both tools bill you separately. OpenContact plans are priced by limits, and every plan includes all integrations. See pricing.
