Using this section you can download all details of members of the lists related to the particular campaign(s).

First, the configuration fetches all the campaigns which were sent to the lists specified in the List ID field (if any) in one array, add to this array all the campaigns specified in the Campaign ID field (if any), and then fetches the activities of the subscribers for all the campaigns in the array.  

Include empty (true/ false)

Mailchimp recognizes three types of Subscriber Activity:

  • Opened the email,
  • Clicked a link,
  • Did not interact (means “empty”).

If set to “True”, a record for every email sent to a subscriber will be returned even if there is no activity data.

 
List ID (required)
