MailChimp review 2024 by EmailDeliverabilityReport

MailChimp does not allow you to import contacts from another email marketing provider. In other words, this means you'll need to build your contact lists from scratch. The best thing you can do is send an invitation email to your current lists, let them know you're switching to MailChimp, and ask them to subscribe to your lists with the new provider.

To use the autoresponder function of MailChimp, first create a list and link it to a subscription form. Next, create an autoresponder and link it to a series of emails. Finally, link the autoresponder to the corresponding contacts list. If someone now subscribes to the list, then they will receive all emails from the autoresponder according to the specified interval.

It is common practice for email marketing providers to prohibit email attachments, as these are often misused to send malicious files to email users. This can even have a negative impact on the deliverability of emails. If you want to send files with your emails, simply upload the file to your website or a file-sharing platform first and include the link in the email body.
