## Description

Write and send Mailchimp campaigns directly from WordPress in the familiar interface
your team already knows.

### Send Mailchimp Campaigns Without Leaving WordPress

ChimpBridge connects WordPress to your Mailchimp account so your team can write,
preview, and send newsletters without touching Mailchimp.com. If they already know
WordPress, they’re ready to go.

### Built for Teams That Work in WordPress

Mailchimp’s native interface isn’t built for content teams. ChimpBridge brings campaign
creation into WordPress, where your writers are already working. Draft, revise, 
and collaborate the same way you do with blog posts. Send when you’re ready.

### Collaborate Without Giving Everyone Mailchimp Access

Give multiple contributors the ability to write and review campaigns without handing
out Mailchimp.com credentials. ChimpBridge lets each person do their job without
exposing your full Mailchimp account.

### Keep Your Email Marketing Consistent

The harder it is to send a newsletter, the less often it gets done. By moving the
writing process into WordPress, ChimpBridge removes the friction that slows teams
down and keeps your email marketing on schedule.

### ChimpBridge Features

 * Connect to your Mailchimp account in seconds
 * Create campaigns in the WordPress editor without ever visiting Mailchimp.com
 * Preview campaigns before sending to your full audience
 * Send test emails to any address before you commit
 * Insert common Mailchimp merge tags from a convenient sidebar

### ChimpBridge Pro

[ChimpBridge Pro](https://chimpbridge.com/upgrade?utm_source=readme&utm_medium=plugin-repository&utm_content=chimpbridge-pro)
unlocks additional features for teams that need more control:

 * **Segments:** Target specific segments of your Mailchimp audience
 * **Footer:** Customize exactly what appears in the footer of your emails
 * **Templates:** [Wrap campaigns in a custom email template](https://chimpbridge.com/support/how-to-add-a-custom-email-template-to-chimpbridge-pro/?utm_source=readme&utm_medium=plugin-repository&utm_content=chimpbridge-pro)
 * **Archive:** [Publish a viewable archive of past campaigns on your site](https://chimpbridge.com/support/how-to-create-a-wordpress-newsletter-archive-with-chimpbridge-pro/?utm_source=readme&utm_medium=plugin-repository&utm_content=chimpbridge-pro)

## FAQ

### Do I need a paid Mailchimp account to use ChimpBridge?

No. A free Mailchimp account works fine.

### Can I send a test email before sending to my full list?

Yes. You can send a preview email to any address before sending to your audience.
Your campaign is saved as a draft in Mailchimp and the test is dispatched from there.

### Does ChimpBridge support Mailchimp merge tags?

Yes. ChimpBridge supports Mailchimp merge tags. A sidebar meta box lets you insert
common tags like EMAIL, PHONE, and ADDRESS directly into your campaign.

### Does ChimpBridge support Mailchimp templates?

The free version does not support custom templates. [ChimpBridge Pro](https://chimpbridge.com/upgrade?utm_source=readme&utm_medium=plugin-repository&utm_content=faq)
lets you choose from custom email templates or create your own.

### Can I display my sent campaigns on my site?

The free version does not include an archive feature. [ChimpBridge Pro](https://chimpbridge.com/upgrade?utm_source=readme&utm_medium=plugin-repository&utm_content=faq)
lets you publish a viewable archive of all campaigns sent through the plugin.

### Can I customize campaign sender settings?

Yes. You can adjust the From Name, From Email, and To Name for each campaign. [ChimpBridge Pro](https://chimpbridge.com/upgrade?utm_source=readme&utm_medium=plugin-repository&utm_content=faq)
adds the ability to customize your campaign footer as well.
