Obtaining your Mailchimp Transactional API Key

Introduction


To enable Gravity SMTP to send messages via your Mailchimp Transactional account, you must provide the plugin with a Mailchimp Transactional API key. This step must be completed before configuring the Mailchimp Transactional Integration in Gravity SMTP. This article outlines steps for generating a new API key from within your Mailchimp Transactional account.

Refer Mailchimp Fundamentals from Mailchimp Transactional official documentation for more info and related articles.

Generating a New API Key

  1. Navigate to the Settings of your Mailchimp Transactional account and look for the API Keys section.
  2. Click Create API Key and give it a description.

Note: Your new key will be displayed only once. Be sure to copy and save this key, as it will be used to connect the Gravity SMTP plugin to your Mailchimp Transactional account. A single key can be used across multiple websites. However, if you ever need to revoke keys site-by-site, you may prefer to create one key per site.

Once you have added and verified a domain, you are now ready to configure your Mailchimp Transactional Integration settings within Gravity SMTP.
