The problem it solves

You collect leads through forms or events and end up with a spreadsheet full of names and emails. Typing or copying each one into your email tool by hand is slow and easy to mess up.

Who it fits

Small businesses and event organizers who collect leads in a spreadsheet and email them through Mailchimp.

How it works

  1. You run the automation with your spreadsheet of contacts ready
  2. Each row's full name is split into first and last name
  3. Phone numbers and other details are attached to each contact
  4. Every contact is sent into your Mailchimp list
  5. A summary shows which contacts were processed successfully
What you get

Contacts moved into Mailchimp without copying

Every new contact in your spreadsheet lands in your Mailchimp list automatically, split and tagged and ready to email.

What you get

An updated Mailchimp audience with your new contacts ready for email campaigns.

What you need

A Google account with a Sheets file and a Mailchimp account with an audience set up.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
