Unified Engagement Visibility for Mailchimp and Dynamics 365 CRM integration
Modern email marketing doesn’t stop at one-off campaigns. Automated customer journeys, nurture flows, and triggered communications play a critical role in engaging prospects and customers over time.
With automated Mailchimp Customer Journey activities and engagement events, sales and service teams receive a complete, real-time view of customer interactions, synced directly into Microsoft Dynamics 365.
This page explains how customer journey and marketing activity sync work, and why it’s essential for lifecycle-based engagement and sales follow-ups.
What Are Mailchimp Customer Journeys?
Mailchimp Customer Journeys are automated workflows that trigger emails and actions based on:
- Customer behavior
- List membership
- Tags and segmentation
- Time-based rules
These journeys power:
- Welcome series
- Lead nurturing programs
- Re-engagement campaigns
- Post-purchase communications
Without CRM visibility, these automated touchpoints often remain invisible to sales teams.
