About ChimpBridge
From the official readme · v1.3.0Description
Write and send Mailchimp campaigns directly from WordPress in the familiar interface your team already knows.
Send Mailchimp Campaigns Without Leaving WordPress
ChimpBridge connects WordPress to your Mailchimp account so your team can write, preview, and send newsletters without touching Mailchimp.com. If they already know WordPress, they’re ready to go.
Built for Teams That Work in WordPress
Mailchimp’s native interface isn’t built for content teams. ChimpBridge brings campaign creation into WordPress, where your writers are already working. Draft, revise, and collaborate the same way you do with blog posts. Send when you’re ready.
Collaborate Without Giving Everyone Mailchimp Access
Give multiple contributors the ability to write and review campaigns without handing out Mailchimp.com credentials. ChimpBridge lets each person do their job without exposing your full Mailchimp account.
Keep Your Email Marketing Consistent
The harder it is to send a newsletter, the less often it gets done. By moving the writing process into WordPress, ChimpBridge removes the friction that slows teams down and keeps your email marketing on schedule.
ChimpBridge Features
- Connect to your Mailchimp account in seconds
- Create campaigns in the WordPress editor without ever visiting Mailchimp.com
- Preview campaigns before sending to your full audience
- Send test emails to any address before you commit
