Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume Mailchimp Is Down
- 1
Check campaign send status
Review your campaign reports to see if messages are queued, sending, or failed. Wait 15-30 minutes for potential delays.
- 2
Verify API credentials and limits
For API users: ensure your API key is valid and you haven't exceeded rate limits or account quotas.
- 3
Test with different campaigns
Try creating and sending a test campaign to a small list to isolate if the issue is campaign-specific or platform-wide.
- 4
Review audience and list settings
Verify your audience settings, segment conditions, and merge tags are correctly configured.
- 5
Implement retry logic for API
For API integrations, use exponential backoff and retry failed requests during temporary outages.
