An easy way to reach out and contact all your entrants, winners or shortlisted artists via email is MailChimp. Create a new mailing list and tags for Mailchimp right within Picter. No need for copying and pasting large lists of email addresses.
To activate the integration please follow these steps:
Go to app.picter.com/curate
Click on the three vertical dots besides your contest’s name to access the „Mailchimp Integration“
At this step you need your Mailchimp API key. If you don’t know about the MailchimAPI key, it is recommended to read through this article: https://mailchimp.com/help/about-api-keys/. Otherwise you should find your MailchimpAPI key here https://us1.admin.mailchimp.com/account/api/. There you can also create a new API key.
Once you are familiar with the Mailchimp API key you can enter and save it on Picter. This is done by clicking „Save API Key And Create List“ in the integration menu.
You should see a green checkmark that visualizes the connection in Picter and a newly created list on your Mailchimp account that looks something like „Picter - Your Contest Name“. The list should also be empty
To create a tag for a selection of authors, navigate to the submission list, round or collection you want to send your information
Select the authors, projects or images
Use „Bulk Action“ —> „Send to Mailchimp“, Give the tag a name that appears in Mailchimp and confirm by clicking „create and send“
Depending on the amount of transmitted emails the creation of such a tag in the Mailchimp list can take a few minutes. It can seem like nothing is happening in the beginning but Mailchimp needs a while to process the incoming addresses and names.
Finished!! You can now create a campaign and use that list or tag in Mailchimp
