Mailchimp is one of the most widely used email marketing platforms, offering campaign creation, audience management, landing pages, and basic automation. Its generous free tier and ease of use make it a go-to for small businesses and growing teams.
Connecting Cursive to Mailchimp lets you turn anonymous website visitors into addressable email subscribers. Instead of relying solely on opt-in forms, you can build targeted audiences from visitors who have shown real interest in your product.
When a visitor is identified by Cursive, here is exactly how that data maps into Mailchimp. No manual entry, no copy-pasting between tabs—just clean, structured records ready for your team to act on.
| Cursive Field | Mailchimp Field | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| Member.email_address | Adds the identified visitor as a subscriber to your Mailchimp audience | |
| company_name | Member.merge_fields.COMPANY | Populates the company merge field for personalization in email campaigns |
| pages_viewed | Member.tags | Applies tags based on pages viewed (e.g., "visited-pricing", "viewed-case-study") |
| intent_score | Member.merge_fields.INTENT | Stores intent score as a merge field for segmentation and conditional content |
| industry | Member.merge_fields.INDUSTRY | Sets the industry for segment-based targeting in campaigns |
