Automatically create Mailchimp newsletters?

How To

Hi all, I couldn’t find any topic that was related to this, so here I go:

For the last 2 days I have been trying to figure out if I can automatically generate and send Campaign-newsletters with AI content through Mailchimp (and Constant Contact, but lets focus on Mailchimp). We have a system that lets AI generate blog posts and I would like to spread something like a summary in a Mailchimp newsletter.

I have used the “Create a Campaign”-module to create the campaign. I set the Template ID to the template I made in Mailchimp. However, when I go back to mailchimp after running this module, it did not use the template I set, which is the first problem.

Secondly, there seems to be no straightforward module to set the text and image content in the campaign. I tried the “Edit a Campaign Template Content”-module, but this now asks me for HTML tags that need to be set beforehand. Is it correct that I would have to make a HTML-template in Mailchimp for this to work?

I just think it is weird that there is no easier way to do this. Automating newsletters with generative AI to write the content and generate the images would be such a game changer.

I have not really made any scenario with it, cause nothing worked. If one of you knows this or is smart enough to figure this out, please help! :grin:

Hi!

Not sure if this works but regarding the newsletter content, is that dynamic or just a preset template? In this case, what I would suggest is that instead, when a specific TAG is added to that Mailchimp subscriber, then the Mailchimp (internal automation) will then automatically send a newsletter to that subscriber with that specific tag.

Hi, thanks for your answer!

So my main concern is the mapping of the content. The sending to clients is no issue.

I want clients to have their own templates (because our clients care about their brand image) and then we should be able to make AI generated content to those text-fields.

But I feel like there is no way to do that unless I make seperate HTML formats for each client from scratch, instead of doing it through Template ID.

Nope, nothing yet.
Haven’t tried it again in a few months, but the lack of answers says enough, I guess
