The problem it solves

Adding new contacts to your email list by hand after they're already sitting in your Airtable base is duplicate work you don't need. It's also easy to forget, so your list quietly falls out of date.

Who it fits

Small businesses managing contacts in Airtable who also run email campaigns through Mailchimp.

How it works

  1. Checks your Airtable base on a regular schedule
  2. Finds records that haven't been added to Mailchimp yet
  3. Matches the details to Mailchimp's format
  4. Creates a new member in your Mailchimp list for each one
What you get

Contact lists that stay in sync without you touching them

New Airtable contacts show up as Mailchimp members without you re-entering a thing.

What you get

An up-to-date Mailchimp list that matches your Airtable contacts.

What you need

An Airtable account and a Mailchimp account.

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.
