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 from one place.

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.

• 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.

Enable client account access

This feature can help you access your client's Mailchimp account without sharing login information. If you already have a Mailchimp account, you’ll set your status in your settings.

To enable client account access, follow these steps.

1. Click your profile name and choose Account.
   
2. Click the Settings drop-down and choose Details.
3. Scroll to the Client Account Access section and check the I manage multiple accounts box.
   
4. Click Save.
   

Now that you've updated your account status, you can request access to your clients' accounts from the Clients tab or the Partner Center.

Request access to a client's account

To request access to a client's account, follow these steps.

1. In your account, click Clients. Mailchimp Partners will see the Partners.
   
2. Click Add A Client.
   
3. In the fields provided, enter your client's email address and a message that reminds them why you need access to their account.
   
   For a better response, we recommend that you include the user level you need your client to approve.
4. Click Send.
   

That's it! We'll email the client on your behalf with a request for access. After the client approves the request, we'll send an email to the Owner of your account.
