MailChimp + UserGems: The first real-time influencer notifier
I am very excited to announce that we’ve created an integration for Mailchimp that allows you to automatically import your past and future email subscribers from MailChimp into UserGems.
UserGems then identifies all social information for these users and lets you know immediately per email or slack message when an important user (influencers, journalists, investors, etc.) signs up.
This makes UserGems the first real-time influencer notifier.

Importantly, UserGems is made for marketers. You don’t need a single line of code. We’ve taken care of the complicated stuff.
Here’s how it works:
- Sign up with UserGems
- Connect your Mailchimp
- Connect your Slack

Connect your Mailchimp
After your signup, you can connect your Mailchimp account so UserGems can automatically import your users in real-time. You can disconnect at any point in the settings.

After you’ve connected Mailchimp, you can select which lists you’d like to monitor for influencers. Select the important ones and we’ll automatically import a subscriber as soon as they are added to your list.

BONUS POINT: Do you also want to check if you have influencers among the user you’ve added in the past? Reach out: christian@usergems.com
Connect your Slack (optional)
This step is optional. By default you will see all your users and their information on UserGems. If you want to get notified immediately when an influencer signs up (strongly recommended!) connect your Slack account as well.

Tip: Create a new #Influencer Slack channel before authorizing, so can select it right there.

By default we are only sending influencers with more than 1,000 followers to your Slack but you can easily increase that number or even decrease it to 0 so you get a notification for every user that signs up.
Importantly, this only send your user’s information into your Slack. This user is neither notified nor invited into that channel.
Here’s how it’ll look like:
