Expanding Your Reach with Mailchimp

While Ooooby stores only current or past customer information, you can connect a Mailchimp account to engage a broader audience, including potential customers. This requires your Mailchimp API key and Audience ID. Please contact [email protected] if you would like to connect to your Mailchimp account to your platform.

Question & Answer Section:

  • Can I send newsletters through Ooooby? Yes, but only to past or current customers. For a wider audience, integrate Ooooby with your Mailchimp account.

  • Is integration with other databases possible? Currently, Ooooby integrates with Mailchimp, but we're exploring options like Clavio. Stay tuned for updates!

Conclusion

Ooooby's email tool is designed to make your customer's communication efficient and personal. By leveraging this tool alongside integrations like Mailchimp, you can ensure your messages reach the right people at the right time. Stay tuned for more updates as we work to expand our integration capabilities!
