        Integrating Mailchimp and Yotpo

        To connect Mailchimp and Yotpo:

        1. In your Yotpo Reviews menu, go to Integrations.
        2. Choose the Mailchimp card and follow the connection process.

        Review Highlights - Topics

        Once you've connected Yotpo to your Mailchimp account, choose up to 10 topics to promote in your Mailchimp emails. Yotpo's algorithm will automatically prioritize Review Highlights associated with these topics.

        For example, choosing topics such as Scent, Color, Fragrance, and Smell will prioritize Review Highlights associated with these topics.

        Tip:

        Hover over your selected topics to see a preview of their associated Review Highlights.

        Review Highlights - Products

        Select up to 10 products to promote in your Mailchimp emails. These products are combined with the topics defined in the section above. For example, selecting topics such as Quality, Size, Fit etc. will apply to the products selected.

        Please note:

        In the event that one or more of your selected products does not have the reviews content sufficient for Yotpo's algorithm to successfully extract Review Highlights, highlights from different products based on your selected topics may be displayed instead. 

        For example, if you defined "Fabric" as one of your topics and selected "V-Neck T-Shirt" as a promoted product, Review Highlights associated with the "Fabric" topic may be extracted from reviews on a different product in your catalog.
