Your Step-by-Step Sync Guide

Ready to connect your chat-driven leads with your email strategy? Follow these steps:

Step 1: Choose Your Integration Method

ManyChat offers two main pathways:

• Native Integrations (Simplest): Works directly with Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, ConvertKit
• Zapier (Most Flexible): Connects to 5000+ apps like AWeber and GetResponse

Step 2: Native Integration Walkthrough

For supported platforms like Mailchimp:

1. In ManyChat, go to Integrations → Email Marketing
2. Select your email service provider
3. Authenticate with your credentials
4. Map Messenger tags to email list segments

Pro Tip: Create a "Messenger Subscribers" segment in your email tool for easy tracking!

Step 3: Zapier Connection Method

For unsupported email tools:

1. Create a Zapier account (free tier available)
2. Choose "ManyChat" as trigger app → "New Subscriber"
3. Select your email tool as action app → "Add/Update Subscriber"
4. Map fields like Name, Email, and Custom Fields

Their secret? Messenger provided instant engagement while email nurtured long-term relationships.

5 Sync Mistakes That Could Cost You

Watch out for these common pitfalls:

Mistake 1: Not Asking for Email Permission

Facebook Messenger contacts ≠ email subscribers! Always use ManyChat's Email Permission Template to comply with GDPR and CAN-SPAM.

Mistake 2: Ignoring Data Mapping

If you're collecting custom fields (like "Favorite Product Category"), ensure they transfer correctly. Test with your own phone number before going live!

Mistake 3: Set-It-and-Forget-It Syndrome

Check your sync status monthly. Update tags when you launch new campaigns. Tools evolve – so should your integration!
