How to create groups in MailChimp?

Introduction

Groups are specialized areas of the audience that allow contacts to self-categorize using standardized responses you set based on their interests or priorities. Groups may be used for contact details you try to gain, such as favorite foods, desired places in the supermarket, or something else you want to remember.

You might want to organize your subscriptions into groups yourself. You can then submit targeted campaigns using community info. Groups work like sections and are the perfect way to handle different connections in the same audience as MailChimp. Here you will learn how to create groups in MailChimp.

Things to Remember

Before you start the process, here are a few things you need to remember:

  • The group is the best solution when your new subscriber categorizes themselves when they subscribe to your campaign.
  • In pop-up registration forms as well as the Signup Form content block on webpages, category fields are required, but not on hosting or integrated signup pages. Enhanced, paying users can custom-code the appropriate community field using the Advanced Forms method. 
  • Community fields occur at the end of the signup page for your audience, so they function differently from standard audience fields. 
  • There will be up to 60 group names for each audience. Categories of groups do not count against the 60-group limit. 
  • You may also use group segmentation to analyze contacts in a similar group or who are not in any group.
