Data Transfer Guide
Export audience data from Mailchimp by navigating to Audience > All contacts > Export Audience. Choose CSV format to download email lists, names, and tags. For campaign content, manually copy email templates, subject lines, and body text from Mailchimp's Campaign archive since there's no direct export. In Rytr, you don't import audience data—instead, import your CSV to your chosen email service provider. For content, use Rytr's 'Email' template to recreate messages by pasting your Mailchimp content as reference prompts. Rytr's plagiarism checker ensures new content is original. Save successful outputs in Rytr's library for future use.
