2.) Create API Key:

🛠️ Advanced - Sending Mini Quiz or Custom User Input from Amped to Mailchimp Merge Fields
If you would like to send mini quiz options from Amped or a custom input field to a Merge field in Mailchimp you can simply set the name of the property in Amped to match the Merge Field "Tag" name.
Finding the Merge Field Tag Names
You can view your Audience's merge fields by going All contacts → Settings → Audience fields & *MERGE* tags
On the Merge field you would like to use, notice the "Tag" for that Merge field, you will want to use that short text version in the input field.
If you're adding a new Merge Field, it's easiest to use the "Text" type but you can really use any type.
Matching the property name or input name in Amped to match your Mailchimp Merge field.
If you're setting up a "mini quiz" or setting a user property from a button click, navigate to the button's actions and find the "Set User Property" action. You will see the property name.
This same principle applies if you are using a custom input field, simply match the name of the field in Amped to the tag name of the Merge Field in Mailchimp.
✅ Once you've published, this will flow directly into Mailchimp if there is a matching Merge Field Tag that matches the property name from Amped.
