This page guides you through setting up the Mailchimp source connector.
You can use OAuth or an API key to authenticate your Mailchimp account. If you choose to authenticate with OAuth, register your Mailchimp account.
- Log into your Airbyte Cloud or Airbyte OSS account.
- Click Sources and then click + New source.
- On the Set up the source page, select Mailchimp from the Source type dropdown.
- Enter a name for your source.
- You can use OAuth or an API key to authenticate your Mailchimp account. We recommend using OAuth for Airbyte Cloud and an API key for Airbyte OSS.
- To authenticate using OAuth for Airbyte Cloud, ensure you have registered your Mailchimp account and then click Authenticate your Mailchimp account to sign in with Mailchimp and authorize your account.
- To authenticate using an API key for Airbyte OSS, select API key from the Authentication dropdown and enter the API key for your Mailchimp account.
:::note Check the performance considerations before using an API key. :::
- Click Set up source.
The Mailchimp source connector supports the following sync modes:
- Full Refresh
- Incremental
Airbyte doesn't support Incremental Deletes for the Campaigns, Lists, and Email Activity streams because Mailchimp doesn't provide any information about deleted data in these streams.
Mailchimp does not impose rate limits on how much data is read from its API in a single sync process. However, Mailchimp enforces a maximum of 10 simultaneous connections to its API, which means that Airbyte is unable to run more than 10 concurrent syncs from Mailchimp using API keys generated from the same account.
The Mailchimp source connector supports the following streams:

The Lists and Campaigns streams have id as the primary key. The Email Activity stream doesn't have a primary key because Mailchimp does not provide one.
