Challenges

We realized some issues and also some integration related scenarios that we got stuck with:

Ensuring that the form field is mapped properly to the Mailchimp list because this is a pivotal step and has a huge impact on the whole process. Any issue in this activity can lower the efficiency of the whole integration process . >> Thorough testing to be done to make sure that correct lead data is sent from the form to mapped fields in the integration environment since this can impact the subsequent activities
Since Mailchimp works with more than 300 tools, handling interoperability challenges for a seamless integration also presents a major area of concern that has to be given extra care. This includes a framework with exhaustive testing process needs to be created and carried out before the campaign goes live
Ensuring best practices were followed and implemented. >>We ensured the checklist is prepared for any new campaigns created and also shared this best practice with the client
