Mail Chimp Autoresponder Integration

Hi S2Member Support, I have two questions which I would really appreciate any assistance you may be able to provide.

1. Are you able to show me where I can get a login widget similar to that used to login to S2 member? (I.e where you click “login” and the login box appears)

2. I wish to integrate s2member with a different mail chimp auto responder that is dependent on the level of membership. The auto responders will then deliver a weekly exercise plan.

My question is: s2member allows users to automatically transition between mail chimp auto responder lists, though when a customer transitions, will they still retain their same time based point in the new auto responder list they have joined?

For example – a customer is on week 5 of the “beginner” exercise plan auto responder within mailchimp and then upgrades to the “intermediate” exercise plan via s2members membership level transition capabilities. Will they then begin receiving the intermediate exercise plan autoresponder series from week 6 or will mail chimp revert them back to week 1 of the intermediate exercise plan auto responder series?

Thank you for your time,

Reid

Hi Reid,

1. Are you able to show me where I can get a login widget similar to that used to login to S2 member? (I.e where you click “login” and the login box appears)

s2Member Pro provides the Pro Login Widget (Dashboard -> Appearance -> Widgets -> Pro Login Widget). If you need to style or modify the default widget in some way (for example, to make it look like the one on s2member.com), you’ll need to make those customizations/modifications yourself. If you’re not comfortable with HTML/JavaScript/CSS, you may want to post a job on jobs.wordpress.net.

That would depend on how MailChimp handles AutoResponders and Lists. To my knowledge, MailChimp would treat an existing subscriber being moved to a new list (i.e., transitioned) the same as a new subscriber who was just added to the list. That would mean any auto responders you have set up in MailChimp would not start from Week 6, but rather start over at Week 1.

Again, this is particular to how MailChimp works and I could very well be mistaken. If MailChimp’s Auto Responders are using original signup date to determine when emails should be sent out, then I would think that subscribers would continue from Week 6 instead of starting over from Week 1. I recommend contacting the MailChimp support team and asking them for clarification.

Thanks Raam!

Glad I could help, Reid. :)
