Connect Your Clients' Accounts

Many freelancers, designers, and marketing agencies can benefit from Mailchimp's connected account features. If you manage multiple Mailchimp accounts, you can easily access and switch between your clients’ accounts without sharing login information.

In this article, you'll learn how to connect clients’ accounts.

Before you start

Here are some things to know before you begin this process.

• Before you can connect client accounts, you have to join Mailchimp & Co.
• Client account access should be enabled by the Owner or Admin of your account.
• Make sure you know the email address of the Owner or Admin of your client's Mailchimp account. You'll need it to request access.
• You can connect additional users to a client account. These users will need their own login credentials.
• You can request access for up to 35 client accounts a day, individually or in batches.

Request access to a client's account

To request access to your clients' accounts, follow these steps.

1. In the navigation bar, click the Mailchimp & Co icon.
   
2. Click Clients.
3. Click Connect To A Client.
   

4. In the fields provided, enter your client's email address and a message that reminds them why you need access to their account.
   

   When sending requests to multiple clients at once, place commas between email addresses. For a better response, we recommend that you include the user level you need your client to approve.

5. Click Send.
   

That's it! We'll email your clients a request for access. After they approve the request, we'll send an email to the Owner of your account.
