I noticed an issue with the current Monday.com and Mailchimp integrations resulting in duplicate items. When I add a new contact to the Monday board, it triggers an integration to add this contact to the Mailchimp list. Conversely, when I add a new contact to Mailchimp, another integration adds this contact back to the Monday board. This creates a loop where a contact added to Monday is re-imported from Mailchimp, causing duplication.
Current Integrations:
- Add to the Mailchimp list when a contact is added to the Monday board.
- Add to the Monday board when a new contact is added to the Mailchimp list.
Problem: These integrations cannot distinguish if the new email added to Mailchimp originated from Monday. Therefore, the second integration runs and adds the contact again to Monday, resulting in duplicates.
Feature Request: Implement a mechanism to detect and prevent duplicates by identifying the source of the new contact. If a contact added to Mailchimp originated from Monday, the integration should not add it back to Monday, thereby avoiding the double-dipping effect.
Suggested Solution: Enhance the integration logic to include source verification. If a contact is added to Mailchimp via an integration from Monday, the system should recognize this and prevent the secondary integration from re-adding the contact to the Monday board.
Benefits:
- Eliminates duplicate entries
- Streamlines the integration process
- Improves data integrity and user experience
Thank you for considering this enhancement to improve the integration functionality between Monday.com and Mailchimp.
