Setting up your integrations is an important step in joining the fitFam! So we want to make sure you have some help in the process of getting things going!

One of our integration partners is Mailchimp and their platform will offer your emailing capabilities and automations. In our video below, Christine will take you step by step through the setup process of Mailchimp as well as help you get started on your marketing journey. If you plan to use the video as your step by step guide, or even our steps below, please have your fitDEGREE account up and your Mailchimp account already established and logged into as well.

What are the major things you need just to get started? Well… first let’s activate your Mailchimp integration.

Step-by-Step

Go to Integrations --> then click into Direct Integrations
Where you see Mailchimp - click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner
