If CiviCRM is installed and in use on a site, it provides profile data such as First Name, Last Name, etc. to Drupal. However, Mailchimp lists cannot merge these fields requiring a second set of user fields in order to provide additional data to your list.

It obviously doesn't make much sense to have a user field for first name as well as a CiviCrm field for first name.

I would love to see the ability for Mailchimp to access CiviCRM data as merge fields. Thanks!

The two attached modules provide this functionality. One creates tokens for CiviCRM, the other exposes them to Mailchimp lists.

Enabling these modules replaces the user fields, so they can't be used in conjunction with core Drupal user fields with the exception of email.

Can now be done since #1243952: Add hooks for implementing merge tokens and values was committed.
