Mailchimp Transactional (Consent)

Implementation Summary

Fides uses the following Mailchimp Transactional consent_requests section to either add or remove the user from the allowlist and/or denylist according to the user's consent preferences.

The result of opting the user in will put them on the Rejection Allowlist which will permit future emails to be delivered. Opting the user out will put the user on the Rejection Denylist which will cause future emails to be rejected.

Consent RequestDescription
Opt-inAdds an email to your email rejection allowlist.
Opt-outRemoves an email from the allowlist followed by a request to add an email to your email rejection denylist.

Connection Settings

Connection instructions may be found in the configuration guide.

Note that a sequence of opt-in and/or opt-out requests can be defined that will be called in order.
