There are two ways to get the Campaign ID for MailChimp. Let's take a look at these:
1. If your campaign is in Drafts:
Go the Campaigns Tab in MailChimp -- Drafts
If your campaign is in "Drafts," click on Edit View Email
You can get your Campaign ID from the URL on the browser tab.
2. If you have already sent out your campaign:
Click on View Report- View Email → download a Google Chrome Plugin here to get your Campaign ID
In your Google Chrome toolbar, you can click on the plugin icon (do make sure Enable is checked in) → Confirm)
When you confirm, you can see your Campaign ID below the plugin.
