Warning!

You must use another app or service (links to Mailchimp) to synchronize your Shopify store into Mailchimp for this integration to work.

Overview

Bold Brain's Audiences feature gives you the ability to segment your customers into groups based on specific criteria.

Once a customer takes certain actions on your store, they're included in the Audience. These groups can then be used to target your email campaigns.

Note: If you haven't already, you'll need to set up your Audiences and connect your Mailchimp account in Brain.
