CSVColumn field names

[tbirnseth]

Is there a document somewhere that defines the standard CSV column
names used by MailChimp for importing a list of exported customers? I
wanted to use names that would not have to be mapped to offload the
customer from dealing with it.

Please send non-API related questions to support in the future:

If you do use the API, you're either going to want to allow the
customer to map columns or have them allow a real integration to
change their list to fit.

Well, unfortunately it was the sup...@mailchip.com that told me to post the question here.  They provided the URL.

I want to give the customers the ability to export all their existing users and customers from orders via CSV.  This should be a one-shot deal (two imports) and I simply wanted to deal with any mapping issues for them versus them having to end up with bizarre maps that mean something to them, but not to MailChimp.  Seems like removing steps for the customer is the right thing to do.

Then, if an order comes in that is not a referral from MailChimp, I will use the API to add them to a list (unless they've opted out).  If they are a MailChimp referrer then I plan to use the api to send the ecommerce data to be associated with that user or campaign.
