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.

Pipedrive

Pipedrive doesn't have marketing lists, so OpenContact uses your saved people filters as the pullable views. A person is matched by email, then created or updated.

Questions

Does OpenContact sync unsubscribes between Mailchimp and Pipedrive?

Yes. When Mailchimp or Pipedrive 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 Pipedrive?

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 Pipedrive cost extra?

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