I have a CPT for Owners and a CPT for Renters, each have fields like First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone #, Address, etc. I was wondering if I could sync the data entered into these into MailChimp so that I could use these fields with a MailChimp campaign. Then if a email receipent updated their preferences in MailChimp to edit their phone for example, could I then have this information auto sync'd back to the WordPress CPT that it came from.

Dear Larry,

There isn't such a built-in feature within Types plugin or other Toolset plugins, but you can search it in google plugin Directory, for example:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/mailchimp+Sync/

Thanks! I will take a look at that. I will probably have to find a developer that can take these CPT fields and sync them to MailChimp. I found this but not sure how to exactly use with Toolset.

There is a filter hook available which allows you send additional data from MailChimp. This allows for greater flexibility as to where you user data is stored..

Here's an example specifying the "MERGETAG" field from a simple user property.

add_filter( 'mailchimp_sync_user_data', function( $data, $user ) {
    $data['MERGETAG'] = $user->field_name;
    return $data;
}, 10, 2 );
