After successfully integrating Coworkify to Mailchimp, the following scenarios are expected to happen while the integration is Active:

1. Existing members are successfully added to the Email List
2. Newly added members are automatically added to your Email List
3. Automatically unsubscribed members that cancel from a Space or disabled by the space owner.

Coworkify users need to re-integrate their Mailchimp API Key if:

1. Coworkify Integration is not updated or;
2. The space owner change the API Key to its Mailchimp Account

To reintegrate, just retrieve the key from your Mailchimp account and follow the same process above.
