Templates Management

MailChimp templates let you design branded email layouts once and reuse them across campaigns. The connector syncs templates both ways, so you can import your MailChimp designs into Odoo or build a template in Odoo and push it to MailChimp — then select it when creating a campaign (see Campaigns Management).

Open your templates from Email Marketing ‣ MailChimp ‣ Templates.

Import Templates from MailChimp

  1. Go to Email Marketing ‣ MailChimp ‣ MailChimp Operations.

  2. Select your Account(s), choose Templates, and click Process.

Import templates from MailChimp

All templates from the account are imported into Odoo with their name, type and category — no need to recreate them manually.

The Template Form

Open a template to view its details and design.

MailChimp template form in Odoo

  • Template Name, Associated Account, Type and Category — identify the template.

  • Drag and Drop / Responsive — flags describing how the template was built in MailChimp.

Export a Template to MailChimp

Design a template in Odoo and push it to MailChimp in one click, using the buttons in the template form header.

Export in MailChimp creates the template in MailChimp (shown for templates that don’t exist there yet).

Export a template to MailChimp

Update in MailChimp pushes your Odoo edits to the matching MailChimp template.

Update a template in MailChimp

Note

Edit a template in one place. With Update in MailChimp, changes made in Odoo are reflected in MailChimp without duplicating work.

Tip

Templates with content built outside Odoo (for example MailChimp’s classic or drag-and-drop editor) may have no editable HTML in Odoo. In that case, keep editing them in MailChimp and use the imported template only to select it on campaigns.
