Sync multi-select picklist fields from Salesforce directly into Mailchimp Tags & Groups or Constant Contact Lists using SyncApps.
This has been one of our most requested features—and it’s live now on our new One Plan.
Why This Matters
Before, syncing a Salesforce field with multiple selected values required workarounds or complex filters. Now, if a contact in Salesforce is tagged with several values (e.g. “Donor”, “Volunteer”, “Alumni”), SyncApps can mirror those values as tags or groups in Mailchimp or lists in Constant Contact automatically.
🔧 How It Works
Phase 1: One-Way Sync (Now Live ✅)
- Sync Salesforce multi-select picklist values to:
- Mailchimp → Tags or Groups
- Constant Contact → Lists
- Values selected in Salesforce appear as tags/groups for each synced contact.
- Example: If “Mary Smith” has multiple picklist values associated with their record like Donor and Alumni, her Mailchimp profile will now have both tags applied or Groups if desired.
Phase 2: Bidirectional Sync (Coming Soon in Q4 2025 🔁)
- If you remove a tag/group in Mailchimp, SyncApps will also remove the corresponding value from Salesforce (planned using Webhooks).
- Timeline: Estimated 4 weeks after Phase 1, based on platform testing.

🧠 FAQ
Can I use this with my Legacy Plan?
No. This feature is exclusive to the new One Plan. Legacy plans do not support syncing multi-select fields as tags, groups or lists.
What if I only want to add tags groups or lists, not remove them?
No problem! Phase 1 only syncs selected values from Salesforce to Mailchimp/Constant Contact. It doesn’t remove existing tags yet.
Does this work for bidirectional sync?
Not yet, but it’s coming in Phase 2 in Q4 2025. For now, sync is one-way (Salesforce → Mailchimp/Constant Contact).
