# Add Template to Mailchimp Campaign

::: (warning)
As of May 2023 Mailchimp made changes to its API system, which has changed how infoodle is able to access Mailchimp Templates.
:::

infoodle can now only import and use **Campaigns** from Mailchimp
It no longer has access to use templates created using the **Classic Builder** or the **New Builder** unless these are first added to a Campaign.

Unavailable Templates will be Greyed Out in infoodle on the Mailchimp screen, and will show **Please add to a campaign in mailchimp to use this template in infoodle**.

### Add to Mailchimp Campaign
For any Templates showing in infoodle as unavailable, you will need to log into your Mailchimp account and then add these templates to a Mailchimp Campaign.

**From your Mailchimp Account:**
1. Go to **Campaigns > Email Templates**​
2. Locate or search for the Template in the **Saved** list
3. For the Template in question, click the **Arrow** icon and select **Create Campaign**​​​​

4. At Minimum, give the Campaign a Name, for example use the same name as the Email Template - **This is the Name that will display in infoodle**
::: (info) (**Note**)
The other Campaign settings in Mailchimp are not required when you are sending this Template from within infoodle, so you do not need to configure these.
:::
5. Click on **Finish Later** to save the Campaign

### Update infoodle​ 
Once you have finished making the changes in Mailchimp for any templates you require, go to the Contact > Email > Mailchimp screen in infoodle, where you select which Template to use.
1) Click the **Reload from Mailchimp** button to refresh the infoodle copy of your Mailchimp Templates

2) Any updated Templates will then be listed as a Campaign using the Campaign name that was set up in Mailchimp.

::: (info) (**Note**)
You will see that the original Template remains listed in infoodle, (The **Classic Builder Template** or **New Builder Template** version).
To send via infoodle you will need to use the Campaign version of this instead.
