Want even more flexibility with the design of your email invitations? Interested in combining the power of Eventbrite with the email-marking prowess of MailChimp? Here's how to send invites to your event using MailChimp!

Note: If you're using our invite-only feature for your event, you will need to send email invitations from within Eventbrite, as the invite-only feature is incompatible with our integration with MailChimp. 

To use MailChimp to send invites for an event, first create and publish your event in Eventbrite. Now click on My Events at the top of the page, and then click on the name of your published event to go to its Manage page. Select Create Invitations from the feature menu on the left side of the Manage page.

Click on the Use MailChimp! button on the right side of the next screen. A new tab or window will open, and you will be taken to MailChimp and prompted to log in to your MailChimp account (or to sign up for one if you haven't already). 

Go here to learn what to do in MailChimp from this point on in order to send your invites. 

Note: You may be prompted by MailChimp to enter your Eventbrite API user key if you haven't already.

To find your key, go back to Eventbrite, make sure you're logged in, and click Account in the upper right. Then click on API User Key on the vertical menu on the left side of the page. You will find your key in the box labeled Your API User Key at the top of the next page.
