mailchimp does not allow to import so called role addresses via the webinterface.
so info@, support@, office@ and the like can't be imported but need to be inserted manually. (see What role addresses does MailChimp block).
HOW?
wm.chimpimport allows to import subscriptions even though some or all emails are role addresses using the mailchimp API MCAPI.
type chimpimport --help for usage information:
chimpimport imports datasets given in csv file FILENAME into mailchimp's subscriber list.
first row contains headers, EMAIL (note capital letters) column is required
example csv content:
"Some Value";"EMAIL";"Some other value";
"ACME Corp.";"john@acme.com";"Sales representative";
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-k APIKEY, --apikey=APIKEY
your mailchimp api key. obtain one with ``wget 'https:/
/api.mailchimp.com/1.1/?output=json&method=login&passw
ord=xxxxxx&username=yyyyyyyy' -O apikey``
Status
