Managing groups

Note that this is not a guide for handling data privacy! Please make sure your setup is in line with current data privacy regulations! The pack creator is not responsible for any data privacy related issues and has no access to any Coda doc or Mailchimp account of a pack user.

Mailchimp differenciates between tags and groups (also known as interests). To learn more about groups, go to

Managing tags⁠

The Mailchimp pack currently only supports assigning/removing groups from members. Group creation/deletion needs to be done directly via Mailchimp.

Working with groups

Some general information and rules about groups:

Compared to tags, groups need to be setup before usage. You can not just dynamically add / remove groups to / from a member.

Groups are always connected to an audience. Every audience can have their own groups.

Groups have two levels. Group categories and groups (aka group options). As an example, you can have the group category “Hobbies” with the groups “Sport”, “Drawing”, “Watching TV”.

Groups are managed in Mailchimp via Audience → Manage contacts → Groups

Retreiving group data

Groups of an Audience

To see all groups and categories of a list, you can use the Groups sync table:

Groups of members

If you use the Audience sync table, groups are automatically fetched. Just add the respective column to show the group data.

When you are using the getMember function, you need to set the “withGroups” parameter to true. It is set to false by default to reduce load time.

Managing groups of a member

The Mailchimp Pack offers three buttons to add, remove or sync groups of a user. It works similar to the

Managing tags⁠

buttons, with the difference that you need to provide the group id instead of a name.

Managing the groups of an audience is currently not supported with the Mailchimp pack.
