How It Works
Every snippet starts with mc-api-init which creates a reusable request helper function. All other snippets call this function — just tab through the placeholders:
API Key — your Mailchimp API key (includes datacenter suffix like -us1)
List/Campaign IDs — paste from your Mailchimp dashboard
Email addresses, names, content — customize per call
