### Setup

Select *Need help getting started?* to access helpful resources for using Mailchimp.

#### Auto Add To List

Use to automatically add new orders to your Mailchimp list. If you’d like to choose the list dynamically or prefer to add your new orders with a rule, set this field to None.

#### List Merge Field Match

Use the List Field Match to send specific order data from Order Desk into custom merge fields in Mailchimp.

If you are using Mailchimp’s full address field type, enter a line like ADDRESS = customer or ADDRESS = shipping.

See [this guide](/resources/order-desk-field-names.md) for a list of Order Desk field names.

#### Auto Add Order

Use to automatically add new e-commerce orders to your Mailchimp E-commerce stores. If you’d like to choose the list dynamically or prefer to add your new orders with a rule, set this field to None.

#### Manage E-commerce Stores

Use this tool to create or delete Mailchimp E-commerce stores to add your orders to. This will allow you to assign orders to a generic store outside of your existing marketplaces in Mailchimp.

Stores created using this tool won’t appear in your Mailchimp dashboard and will only be visible within your Order Desk settings and rules.

#### Require Double Opt-In

Select this option to require your customers to double opt-in to your Mailchimp lists.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.orderdesk.com/integration-setup-guides/crm-tools/mailchimp-integration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
