:::note
This connector is built by UiPath and receives official support selectively. The connector supports a limited set of commonly used APIs for the target application and may cover most typical use cases. Also, they are retained in a stable state until the requirements for a new version release are met.

## Authentication

Before automating processes, you need to establish a connection with your Mailchimp instance. Step-by-step instructions are
available in the [Mailchimp authentication](https://docs.uipath.com/integration-service/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/uipath-mailchimp-mailchimp-authentication#mailchimp-authentication) page.

## Events

The Mailchimp connector supports events via polling. Information about the supported events is available in the [Mailchimp events](https://docs.uipath.com/integration-service/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/uipath-mailchimp-mailchimp-events#mailchimp-events) page.

## Activity package

You can use the connection to enable the [Mailchimp
activities](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/docs/uipath-mailchimp-mailchimp-activities) in UiPath® Studio
and build automations that interact with your Mailchimp data. This allows you to
execute create, read, update, and delete operations on your Mailchimp objects.

## Provider documentation

The UiPath connector is compatible with Mailchimp REST API. Learn more at the [Mailchimp documentation platform](https://mailchimp.com/developer/marketing/api/root/).
