New member registration information automatically passes to Mailchimp.
To see registered members in Mailchimp, Login to Mailchimp.com, go to Audience.
In the Mailchimp Audience, you can sort by the different columns. For example, you can sort by the Month Year Purchased column. Scroll left to see the various columns. (Note: before April 2024, memberships were purchased on a June – June basis and the membership year was in the Membership Year column. After we switched to Zeffy payments in April 2024, we started using the Month Year Purchased column in Mailchimp.)
When you click on the heading of a column, it will sort in ascending and descending order.
You can send campaigns to members that fit in different categories (e.g. members who registered for membership in May 2025) by creating segments. If you want to include more than one month, add all the months you want to include in the segment. (see below for how to include 05/2025 and 06/2025 Month Year Purchased in a segment).
To send a campaign to certain segments, go to create campaign and select the segment(s) you wish to use the Send To field.
