Mailchimp User Opens Email Points Integration

Log in to your Zapier account and click on “Create Zap”.

Search for “Mailchimp” in the app selection and choose it as your trigger app.

From the list of Mailchimp events, select “Mail Opened”.

If you haven’t already, you’ll need to connect your Mailchimp account to Zapier. Follow the prompts to authorize Zapier to access your Mailchimp server.

Select the specific Mailchimp Campaign you want to monitor for email openings.

Zapier will attempt to find a recent user that opened your email to test the trigger. I would suggest sending yourself a test email from mailchimp. If successful, proceed to the next step.

For the action step, search for and select “Absinthe”.

In the setup for Absinthe, select Give Points as the Action Event.

In the setup for Absinthe select your Account. An authentication pop-up will ask you to event an API key which we will provide you, then select “Continue to Absinthe”.

Go to Absinthe’s GraphQL playground at https://dka7gqe6jrgst.cloudfront.net/absinthe-gql.html and register the event name you are going to issue points for. Grab the UUID that is returned in the response to this query and pass it in to the Absinthe Integration on Zapier under “Event UUID”

    mutation RegisterOffChainEvent {
    insert_points_config_registered_events_one(object: {event_name: "my_points_event", 
      description: "This is a sample points event."}) {
        uuid_id
        created_at
        added_by
      }
    }

    {
    "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>"
    }

In the Configure section, you’ll set the Account Type to EMAIL, and Email from the value field dropdown as Account ID.
