Drip Tags to MailerLite Groups converter

Takes your people.csv exported from Drip and, using the MailerLite API, adds your subscribers to groups matching their Drip tags.

Installation

I used Poetry for environment isolation. If you want to do the same, run poetry install in the project root.

I've also provided a requirements.txt file in case you want to run the script the old fashioned way. Run pip install -r requirements.txt from the project root.

Add a file named .env to the project root specifying your MailerLite API key. The file should look something like this:

MAILERLITE_KEY="<replace-with-your-key>"

Usage

It's very simple.

1. Place your people.csv in this directory
2. Run the script
   • If you're using Poetry, run poetry run python create-groups.py
   • If not, run python create-groups.py

Notes

• This looks for a column in people.csv with the heading "tags" which is a column containing a CSV with all the user's tags. If any of this changes, the script won't work.
• If you forget to set MAILERLITE_KEY before you run this, it will fail.
• Not sure if Drip allows commas in tag names, but if they do, this script won't support that.
• This script will create users that don't exist. This isn't because of a choice I made in writing the script. It's just the way the MailerLite API works. When you add an email address to a group that doesn't yet belong to a subscriber, that subscriber gets created.
