The problem it solves

Checking subscriber growth means logging into Mailchimp and digging through the dashboard, which is easy to forget on a busy day. Your marketing or growth team ends up out of sync on something as basic as list size. Small wins in subscriber growth go unnoticed because nobody is watching the numbers daily.

Who it fits

A marketing or growth team that wants daily visibility into email list growth without logging into Mailchimp.

How it works

  1. Every morning at a set time, the system checks in
  2. It retrieves your current subscriber count from Mailchimp
  3. A formatted message is built with the number
  4. The message posts to your chosen Slack channel
What you get

List growth you see without logging in

You get your current subscriber count delivered to Slack every morning without opening Mailchimp.

What you get

A daily Slack message with your current subscriber count.

What you need

A Mailchimp account and a Slack workspace.

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.
