Trigger - New Mailchimp Unsubscriber
This trigger will add people to a Flow when they are unsubscribed from a Mailchimp audience.
Note that using this trigger will automatically unsubscribe the person from Encharge as well and it's not possible to turn this off. Only use this trigger if you want to unsubscribe people from Encharge.
Connecting Mailchimp
Before you can use this trigger you need to connect your Mailchimp account to Encharge. To do that go to your apps, select Mailchimp, click on Connect and log into your Mailchimp account.
Note that you can currently have only one Mailchimp account connected to Encharge.
Alternatively, you can connect Mailchimp directly from the step.

Note that you don't need to map all of the fields, but make sure that the Mailchimp email field is mapped to an email field in Encharge in order to identify the people. -
Encharge will automatically map common fields like email, name, etc. to default fields in Encharge.

The "Subscriber's Current Status" is mapped to the Unsubscribed field in Encharge.

You don't have to do anything extra to unsubscribe a person in Encharge.
Other Mailchimp fields will be mapped to newly created custom fields in Encharge with the naming structure of "Mailchimp.Custom Field": -
You can review the newly created fields on your Custom Fields page under the Mailchimp tab:
