Timing. Mailchimp reports opens and clicks per campaign. Apple Mail Privacy Protection inflates opens, so clicks are the steadier signal.
Access. The Mailchimp Marketing API with an OAuth connection.
QuickBooks on its own
QuickBooks sees what was billed and paid. It has no idea which marketing produced the customer.
Timing. QuickBooks shows revenue when invoices and sales receipts are entered, which can trail the sale in a busy month.
Access. The QuickBooks Online Accounting API with read-only OAuth access.
