When Mailchimp and Jobber operate independently, the marketing team often sends out campaigns based on outdated customer data. For instance, if a client updates their contact information in Jobber but that change doesn't sync to Mailchimp, the marketing team may target the wrong audience. This results in wasted marketing efforts and potential loss of revenue, as the sales team spends time following up on leads that are no longer valid, leading to frustration and confusion across departments.

Top Ways to Automate Mailchimp & Jobber

  • Automated Customer Follow-Ups: Seamlessly trigger follow-up emails through Mailchimp after a service is completed in Jobber, ensuring timely communication and enhancing customer satisfaction.
  • Targeted Marketing Campaigns: Utilize customer data from Jobber to create segmented email lists in Mailchimp, allowing for personalized marketing campaigns that resonate with specific customer needs and preferences.
  • Real-Time Data Sync: Automatically sync customer information and service history between Jobber and Mailchimp, ensuring that your marketing efforts are always based on the most current data, reducing errors and improving engagement.

How to Build the Mailchimp → Jobber Sync

  1. In Mailchimp, navigate to the 'Webhooks' section under 'Account Settings'. Create a new webhook that listens for 'list member updated' events.
  2. Set the webhook URL to your Jobber API endpoint: https://api.getjobber.com/v1/clients. Ensure you select the option to send the full payload.
  3. In your Jobber API, implement an endpoint that can accept POST requests. This endpoint will handle incoming data from Mailchimp.
  4. Extract the relevant data from the Mailchimp payload, specifically the fields: 'email_address', 'status', 'merge_fields'.
  5. Map the Mailchimp data to Jobber’s client fields: 'email' to 'email_address', 'status' to 'active' or 'inactive', and 'merge_fields' to corresponding client attributes in Jobber.
  6. Perform a POST request to Jobber's client creation or update endpoint with the mapped data: https://api.getjobber.com/v1/clients. Include the necessary headers for authentication.
  7. Test the integration by updating a contact in Mailchimp and confirming that the changes reflect in Jobber.

Developer Warnings & API Gotchas

  • Ensure that the 'status' field from Mailchimp is correctly interpreted in Jobber. Jobber may require specific values (e.g., 'active' vs 'inactive'), and mismapping can lead to clients being incorrectly activated or deactivated.
  • Mailchimp's 'merge_fields' can contain multiple data points. If these are not correctly mapped to Jobber’s corresponding fields, important client information may be lost or incorrectly assigned.
  • Be cautious with the payload size sent from Mailchimp; if it exceeds Jobber's API limits, the request may fail without a clear error message, causing confusion during integration testing.
