V2: Toolkit—Select Primary Contacts

Override which profile in Mailchimp is the primary contact despite how they are designated in your CCB app.

Updated over a week ago

In this article, we are going to talk about part of the toolkit. The toolkit contains several series of code which we have written during our development. We wanted to make sure you have certain abilities.

Select Primary Contacts gives CCBChimp the ability to securely manage your contacts. So, now, you will be able to override which profile in Mailchimp is the primary contact despite how they are designated in your CCB app. This happens a lot with families. You may have four emails—the mom, the dad, and two kids. The question is, which of the profiles do you want to send the email to? Mailchimp only allows you to choose one.

This list shows all the duplicates (by email). We can go through and choose which one in each group of duplicates is the primary contact. Once a sync is done, Mailchimp will be updated with this information, including all the personal fields and information. So sending a campaign the next time around will still go to the same email address but instead of saying, “Dear John”, it could now say, “Dear Jane”.
