I have read and re-read the documentation on MailChimp's site about
how to integrate the data passed between MailChimp and Salesforce and
I do not understand what to do to facilitate the implementation. The
help desk referred me here. Is there anyone that can help? I've read
the following:

http://blog.mailchimp.com/salesforce-unsubscribe
http://blog.mailchimp.com/webhooks-and-easier-syncing-with-mailchimp/
http://blog.mailchimp.com/salesforce-subscribe-lead/
http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/can-i-pass-back-recipient-subscriber-information-into-salesforce

I don't understand what URL I'm supposed to enter to webhook the
subscriber/unsubscriber? My data is currently being imported from
Salesforce so I'm not sure what URL MailChimp is referring to.

Thx!

You would have to actually write code do what you are talking about.

Jesse,

Thanks for the prompt reply, but unfortunately that does not answer my
question. I am not a developer and Mail Chimp says I can integrate
the two systems so they stats/subscribe/unsubscribe automatically
sync. Are you saying this is not possible? Because the links above
say it is. Please advise.

Thank you.

I have the code I need, I just need to know where to place it within
mailchimp in order to set things up.

Sorry, I clearly did not pay enough attention to what you were getting
at. This group is for API support, which is not what you are looking
for, though I don't have much better answers.

For the links you posted (in the order they were):

1) I have no idea if that works or is supported, and we didn't develop
it. More power to you if you can make it work.
2) Webhooks - yup, they work
3) Basically the same as #1
4) Has nothing to do with what you are asking about
