Kore.ai provides integration for a built-in MailChimp Bot that you can use to display message notifications and execute tasks directly from the Kore.ai application. To use the MailChimp Bot, you just need to add the Bot to your Kore.ai account, and then configure the settings for the Bot, such as authentication to access MailChimp, and the notification messages that you want. This topic describes the MailChimp built-in Bot for Kore.ai. For more information about other Kore.ai Bots, see Adding Bots.

Configuring MailChimp 

To configure a MailChimp webhook for Kore.ai, you must have a MailChimp account with administrator access as well as API access to configure a webhook. If you don’t, you’ll need to contact the MailChimp system administrator for your company. For more information, see the MailChimp Knowledgebase.
To get started configuring the webhook in MailChimp, you’ll need two things:

1. The Kore.ai webhook URL provided when you set up an alert in your Kore.ai account for each alert that you want to enable in MailChimp.
2. A valid Username and Password for an account with MailChimp API access.

The webhook URL is account-specific and cannot be transferred to any other account. This means that if you configure a MailChimp webhook using a test account, you will have to recreate the alert and get a new webhook URL to configure in MailChimp. The following URL is an example webhook URL.
https://company.kore.com/hooks/c6089802f36250c179dcb1aa29afd24c

Next Steps

After the webhook is configured in MailChimp, when any of the events occur in MailChimp, a message is displayed on the Bots tab in the Messages section for the Kore.ai account.
