Mailchimp is an email marketing and automation platform that helps businesses manage mailing lists, create email campaigns, and track audience engagement. Integrating Mailchimp with Frontegg allows your application to manage contacts, audiences, campaigns, templates, and automations on behalf of your users through OAuth 2.0 authentication.
