When a new campaign is created or sent in Mailchimp, bulk run tasks in Browse AI
When a campaign is created or sent in Mailchimp, FlowMattic starts a bulk run of one of your Browse AI robots, so the web data that robot collects is refreshed around each campaign.

What this workflow does
Marketers often check competitor prices, product pages or listings around the time they send a campaign, to see what the market looked like that day. This workflow ties that check to Mailchimp: each new campaign starts a batch of Browse AI tasks, so the data is gathered without anyone remembering to run the robot.
The Mailchimp trigger fires when a campaign is created or sent. FlowMattic describes the event that way, so a run can start at either point; check Task History after your next campaign to see when yours fire. The campaign's details are passed to the next step.
The Browse AI step bulk runs tasks with a robot you have already trained in Browse AI. It ships unmapped: after import you connect Browse AI, choose the robot and set the inputs for the tasks, such as the pages it should visit. What gets collected depends entirely on how that robot is built.
The workflow only starts the bulk run. The scraped results stay in Browse AI, and nothing in this template reads them. To do something with them, build a second workflow on Browse AI's Task Finished trigger, which fires when a task has run and finished, and send the data where you need it.
Competitor prices at send time
An online shop sends a sale campaign and has Browse AI collect competitor prices for the same products at that moment, to compare offers afterwards.
Snapshot of review sites
A software company runs a robot that reads its listings on review sites whenever a newsletter goes out, keeping a dated record in Browse AI.
Checking the pages a campaign links to
A marketer bulk runs a robot over the landing pages a campaign promotes, so the captured page content sits next to the campaign date.
How this workflow runs
What happens at each step once the workflow is on, and what you need before you import it.
Mailchimp New CampaignFires when a new campaign is created or sent in your Mailchimp account. The campaign's details are available to map, though the Browse AI step doesn't need any of them unless you choose to use them.
- Browse AI Bulk Run Tasks
Starts a bulk run of tasks with one of your Browse AI robots. Nothing in it is set yet, so connect your account, pick the robot and set up the inputs for the tasks it should run.
What you need
- FlowMatticCore
- Mailchimp AccountAccount
- Browse AI AccountAccount
After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.
Make it yours
Changes worth making after you import it.
- Train and test the Browse AI robot on its own first, so you know its inputs and output before you connect it to Mailchimp campaigns.
- Create a second workflow on Browse AI's Task Finished trigger to collect the scraped data, for example into a Google Sheets row per task.
- If you only want the robot to run when a campaign is sent, check a test run for a status field from Mailchimp and put a Filter on it between the New Campaign trigger and the Bulk Run Tasks step.
Questions about this workflow
Does Browse AI run once when a Mailchimp campaign is created and again when it's sent?
It can. FlowMattic describes the New Campaign trigger as firing when a campaign is created or sent. Watch Task History over one campaign to see how often yours runs, and add a Filter between the two steps if you want only one point.
Where do the Browse AI results go?
They stay in your Browse AI account. This template only starts the bulk run. Use Browse AI's Task Finished trigger in another workflow to pass each task's data on.
Which robot does the bulk run use?
The one you choose in the Bulk Run Tasks step after import. The template doesn't select a robot or its inputs, so the step does nothing useful until you set them.
Do I need a trained Browse AI robot before importing?
Yes. The step runs tasks with an existing robot, so build it in Browse AI first, then pick it when you set up the workflow.
