Use case

At the execution of this sample, all the new event attendees in Evenbrite within a particular day will be added to your Mailchimp subscriber list(audience) as new members(contacts).

Prerequisites

• Eventbrite account
• Mailchimp account

Setting up Shopify account

1. Visit Eventbrite and create a Eventbrite account.
2. Obtain tokens by following this guide

Setting up Mailchimp account

1. Visit Mailchimp and create a Mailchimp account.
2. Navigate to the API Keys section of your Mailchimp account.
3. If you already have an API key listed and you’d like to use it for your application, simply copy it. Otherwise, click Create a Key and give it a descriptive name that will remind you which application it’s used for.

Configuration

Create a file called Config.toml at the root of the project.

Config.toml

[<ORG_NAME>.eventbrite_event_attendees_to_mailchimp_subscribers]
eventbriteEventId = "<EVENTBRITE_EVENT_ID>"
mailchimpServiceUrl = "<MAILCHIMP_SERVICE_URL>"
mailchimpAudienceName = "<MAILCHIMP_SUBSCRIBER_LIST_AUDIENCE_NAME>"

[<ORG_NAME>.eventbrite_event_attendees_to_mailchimp_subscribers.eventbriteAuthConfig]
token = "<EVENTBRITE_ACCESS_TOKEN>"

[<ORG_NAME>.eventbrite_event_attendees_to_mailchimp_subscribers.mailchimpAuthConfig]
username = "<MAILCHIMP_USERNAME>"
password = "<MAILCHIMP_PASSWORD>"

Template Configuration

1. Obtain the eventbriteEventId, mailchimpServiceUrl and Mailchimp mailchimpAudienceName.
2. The eventbriteEventId is available in the event URL https://www.eventbrite.com/myevent?eid={eventbriteEventId}}.
3. The mailchimpServiceUrl is https://<dc>.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/. The part of the URL corresponds to the data center for your account. For example, if the data center for your account is us6, all API endpoints for your account are available relative to https://us6.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/. There are a few ways to find your data center. It’s the first part of the URL you see in the API keys section of your account; if the URL is https://us6.mailchimp.com/account/api/, then the data center subdomain is us6. It’s also appended to your API key in the form key-dc; if your API key is 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcde-us6, then the data center subdomain is us6.
4. The mailchimpAudienceName will be your Mailchimp subscriber list name.
5. Once you obtained all configurations, Create Config.toml in root directory.
6. Replace the necessary fields in the Config.toml file with your data.
