What Preparation Is Needed Before Sending a Mailchimp Email Campaign?

Ensure the Mailchimp connection is activated. Use MAILCHIMP_GET_LISTS_INFO to obtain the target audience’s list_id. When creating a campaign, provide the email type, audience ID, subject line, sender name, and reply-to email. Use MAILCHIMP_SET_CAMPAIGN_CONTENT to set the email content (HTML or template). It’s recommended to send a test email (MAILCHIMP_SEND_TEST_EMAIL) for review before sending it for real. Sending actions are irreversible—please make sure everything is correct.

What Is subscriber_hash? How Is It Generated?

subscriber_hash is the lowercase MD5 hash (32-character hexadecimal string) of a subscriber’s email address. Many Mailchimp API endpoints require it to precisely locate subscribers. Generation method:
import hashlib; subscriber_hash = hashlib.md5(email.lower().encode()).hexdigest()
Note: You must use a lowercase email for hashing; otherwise, you may get a 404 error or duplicate records.
