I have generated a coupon with privy and gives me a {{ signup.coupon_code }} code snippet to add to my mailing list. 

 

Unfortunately, this doesn't work with mailchimp. Any idea how to integrate the above code to mailchimp?

Privy needs to talk to Mailchimp in general first via a signup integration before the signup codes it generates can be pushed and stored inside Mailchimp and thus accessed by Mailchimp newslettters/automations. Something like this: https://help.privy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009564293-Syncing-Your-Privy-Contacts-To-MailChimp

 

You'll need to make sure you created a custom merge field inside Mailchimp to hold the values of the signup codes. To do so, you'll need to go to Audiences > Settings > Audience fields and *|MERGE|* tags. Make sure you have the right Current Audience selected:

Then you can go Add a Field (type text) and name it something like this:

Don't forget to Save Changes.

 

Afterwards, you'll want to map your Privy coupon code field into that Mailchimp custom field you just created. This documentation should help: https://help.privy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007991614

 

Once that's done, you can call that custom field into your emails using Mailchimp's merge field syntax, i.e.  as in the example *|SIGNUPCOUP|* or *|MERGE6|*.

 

Hope this helps!
