Hi. My name is Gary Eckstein and I’m a Mailchimp Pro Partner. You can find me at OrganicWeb.com.au
but if you find this video useful please subscribe to my channel and like this video. I’m going
to show today how Mailchimp has now brought in something called apps into the new email builder
and the first app that Mailchimp has introduced is Google My Business so it's very simple if you
have Google My Business setup in other words reviews your opening hours address and so
on it's now extremely simple to insert details from Google My Business into an email campaign
that you can send to people but let me stop talking and rather just show you how it's done
you can see I’m in Mailchimp itself at the moment so to demonstrate how this works um I’m going to
create a new email campaign so just, just as we always do a regular email campaign I can call this
anything I want to and I’ll click begin now some of you may be using the classic builder or the old
email builder and Mailchimp that doesn't have apps so I suggest you move across to the new builder
which I think is actually easier to use and you can then use apps so we would obviously define
who we're sending to who it's from the subject and so on but that's not why we're here for this video
I’ll go into design email uh and before while we wait for it to load I’ll just explain that
the first step is we need to actually set up or integrate Google My Business which is very simple
and then it's available for us to, to insert details from Google My Business into our email
so this is the new builder you of course can go and change whatever you want to
change here but if I click somewhere the plus somewhere to add a new content block
so instead of adding a heading text etc I can click apps which I’ll do so I’ve clicked apps
and now you'll notice on the left hand side it says Google My Business
because that is the only app available at this time so I’ll just click the plus
again as I mentioned a few minutes ago the first thing we need to do is connect it
Google My Business and then it's connected so we won't need to do this twice so I’ll click connect
Mailchimp takes me across to Google so I’ll just quickly authorize my account and I’ll click
continue you can just follow the various different prompts and we'll just wait a second or two while
all the information loads now this is actually an old what I okay I’ve got two Google My Business
uh I don't know what they call profiles I guess or two businesses in Google My Business so I’m
going to change it to my newer one my old one's actually retired so I’ll click on that so select
business profile so you can use multiple business profiles um look this image is being bought in
from somewhere within Google My Business but then you've got various different options that you can
that you can use here so for example we can get rid of the image if we really want to and you'll
notice it disappears so if you did want to add a different image you could just add an image block
up the top map preview and this is all pretty much self-explanatory but you also notice that your
reviews come through from Google My Business and a person can click on for example the 77
Google reviews and they'll be taken to the reviews online so it's a great way
of displaying this the details all these details are coming through from Google My Business itself
so if you are using the Google My Business app and Mailchimp just remember to keep your
Google My Business details correct because then when they come through they'll be here
but this is a really cool way of just adding very you know very, very quickly and simply a
way that people can contact you so you keep your details updated on Google My Business
and they automatically come through to um to, to Mailchimp into your email campaign
as, as I mentioned earlier this is this is very new in in Mailchimp I think it came
out roughly a week ago Google My Business the first app more are going to come out
I’m excited to see what comes out but now you know how to use it and I’m sure the rest of
the apps will be as simple to use but thank you for joining me. I’m Gary from OrganicWeb.com.au
