From training to full-service marketing, our community of partners can help you make things happen.
Every contact in your audience has a profile where you can view all available data about that person. Edit their profile information, view insightful e-commerce data, or apply actions such as unsubscribe, export, archive, or delete.
In this article, you'll learn about contact profiles, how to view them, and what information is available to you about your contacts.
Contact profiles are accessed from the contact table for an audience. To find a specific contact profile, use the search tool.
To view a contact profile, follow these steps.
Click Audience, then click All contacts.
If you have more than 1 audience, click the Current audience drop-down and choose the one you want to work with.
Click a contact's email address to open their contact profile.
Each contact's profile contains general information about your contact, such as their name, sign up source, marketing status, contact information, predicted gender and age, and assigned tags or groups your contact belongs to. If you have a Standard plan or higher and a connected online store with enough data, we’ll also display a Predictive analytics section for your contact.
Here’s the information you’ll find on your contact’s profile page.
Click the three dots to unsubscribe, export their data, tag them as a VIP, or remove your contact from your audience. When you remove a contact, you'll choose to archive or permanently delete them.
If your contact opts to receive Inbox messaging, click Send Message to create and send an email via the Mailchimp Inbox.
Use the Overview, Insights, Notes, and Settings tabs to dive deeper into the information available for each contact.
The Overview tab is open by default on the contact profile. Here's the information you can find on the Overview tab.
The activity feed displays a visual timeline of your contact's engagement. Click the All Activity and Date drop-downs to display vital engagement information about your contact.

The Insights tab highlights key performance metrics for each of your contacts. Track the open and click rates of contacts who’ve engaged with your content. If you have a store connected to your audience, you’ll receive insightful customer data that covers total revenue, average order size, abandoned carts, total orders, refunds, and products viewed. We’ll also display 30-day and 1-year metrics for orders, revenue, and average order amount.
The Notes tab contains a text field that’s used to add details about your contact. For example, if you had an important conversation with a contact at an event, you can make a note in their profile to help inform your future interactions with them. These notes will live in the activity feed of their contact profile, and will only be visible to you.
In the Settings tab, we'll display the predicted location, email client, email format, browser language, and the date of the last update.
If your audience is GDPR-enabled, the contact’s opt-in preferences will appear in this section. If they subscribed using a GDPR-friendly form, you’ll see the date and time of their form submission. Click the timestamp link to view a text-based version of the form they used to subscribe.
Note
The Settings tab isn't available for SMS-only contacts. Also, if your audience is GDPR-enabled, contacts added via the Mailchimp API are opted out of receiving marketing emails by default.
