If you were using Mailchimp and want to switch to AVADA? Now it is much more convenient with Mailchimp - AVADA integration. This allows you to easily connect your Mailchimp account and choose the audiences to sync to AVADA. After sync, new updates from Mailchimp also continue to be updated on AVADA automatically.

Besides importing contacts, AVADA supports syncing all Mailchimp tags. Also, new contacts added to Mailchimp can be sent a Welcome email from AVADA.

One of the most effective ways to manage your contact list successfully is to filter and group them into different segments. Suppression segment includes Bounces, Complaints, Unsubscribers - which will be separated from your sendable contacts.

Suppression list allows you to filter contacts that either cannot send emails or don’t want to receive email from your shop. So basically, you should keep this list away from all of your campaigns. Do not send email to them will make sure your result keep healthy.

Also, one important notice is that AVADA Pro Plan only charges based on your sendable contacts (which equals all contacts excluded suppression list).

Notice: You can find Suppression list by going to “Audiences > Contacts > More actions > Suppression list”
