- Audiences are limited to a maximum of 30 data fields for each contact.
- If you want more than 30 fields of information about your contacts, use groups to help consolidate audience fields, or use tags instead.
- The data field limit is higher for Mailchimp Pro accounts, which can use up to 80 fields in each audience.
- If Pro is disabled, the extra 50 audience fields won't be visible.
