How to Import Email Template(s) from Mailchimp

Importing email templates from Mailchimp can be a useful skill if you want to use your Mailchimp email designs in other email marketing services. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to import Mailchimp email templates. 

Step 1: Log in to Mailchimp

First, open your Mailchimp account by logging in with your username and password.

Step 2: Accessing Templates

After logging in, look for the "Templates" option on the left side of the screen. Click on it, and you should see a list of your saved email templates. If you don't see your templates, you can create a new one.

Step 3: Importing a Mailchimp Email Template

For Campaigns:

  1. Go to "Mailchimp" and select "All Campaigns."
  2. Choose the specific campaign you want to use.
  3. Click "Edit," then "View Email" to see the email content.
  4. Copy the web address (URL) of the campaign.

For Templates:

  1. Create a new campaign in your email marketing platform.
  2. Follow the steps to paste the campaign URL and import the Mailchimp template.

Step 4: Paste the URL

In your email marketing platform, find the place where you can paste text or a link. Paste the URL you copied from Mailchimp here.

Step 5: Preview the Template

Before finalizing anything, take a moment to look at how the Mailchimp template appears in your new email campaign. This way, you can make sure it looks the way you want it to.

Step 6: Create Template

Once you're satisfied with the preview, go ahead and click on the option that says "Create Template." This will bring the Mailchimp template into your new email campaign.

Remember that the template you import will likely be in a format called Code Editor or HTML. You may need to make some adjustments to fit it into your new email campaign or email marketing platform properly.
