- Pulls your entire Mailchimp audience on a weekly schedule, no manual exports
- Flags contacts that are unsubscribed, cleaned, or have never opened an email in your chosen window
- Estimates the monthly dollar savings from archiving the flagged contacts with AI
- Emails you a one-click approval digest before anything is touched
- Logs every flagged contact to a Google Sheet you can review line by line
- Archives approved contacts in Mailchimp automatically and updates the log
Setup Service — optional live install and test. Choose your tier at checkout (not tied to this template's price).

Workflow summary
One workflow handles everything end-to-end.
- 1Runs weekly and pulls every contact from your Mailchimp audience
- 2Flags contacts that are unsubscribed, cleaned, or have never opened an email in your chosen window
- 3AI estimates the monthly savings if the flagged contacts are archived
- 4Logs every flagged contact to a Google Sheet awaiting your review
- 5Emails you an approval digest with the flagged count and estimated savings
- 6One click on the approval link archives the approved contacts in Mailchimp and updates the log
Mailchimp bills established lists for 20-40% of contacts they will never email again, since unsubscribed and non-subscribed contacts still count toward the paid tier.
“A 10,000-contact list where 25% have unsubscribed still bills at the 10,000-contact tier, and teams with older lists regularly discover they are paying for 20-40% of contacts they will never email again.”
