You can then setup automations on Mailchimp, which can be triggered when the event occurs on Nector. For example, when a customer is rewarded with wallet coins, an event can be sent to Mailchimp, which in turn will trigger an automation that sends an email to the customer. ##### Add new event Switch to the **Events** tab and click on **Create An Event**. It opens up to the **Events** page with the **Send Events** tab. Now you have to select the event on which you want to notify the external integration. There are many events supported on **Nector**. If you don't know which to choose, here are the two events that are most relevant and commonly used: * **Wallet Coins Rewarded:** This event will be sent whenever wallet coins are rewarded on nector. * **Coupon Is Created**: This event will be sent whenever a customer uses his wallet coins to get a discount/coupon code on nector. For example, To send an **Wallet Reward Event** to **MailChimp** whenever wallet coins are rewarded to a customer on nector, you would create the event as shown below. * Click on **"+"** button to create an event. * For **"Event"** option, select **Wallet Coins Rewarded** * For **"Send event to"** option, by default **MailChimp** will be selected. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/d9947dc4cf2ed000/image_pawkj4.png) * Once you have entered all the details, click on the **Create** button in the popup. The event will be created as below. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/d9947dc4cf2ed000/image_1u98ng1.png) ##### Sending Test Event || In order to make this event available in your MailChimp dashboard, you need to send a test event from **Nector** as shown below.
