MailChimp date added field is always updated

Hey Everyone,

I’ve a problem with MailChimp integration. I’ve configured different list groups for different membership levels. Every time a WP user’s role gets updated (manually or by s2Member), s2Member correctly sends this information to MailChimp, where the group info is updated, BUT the “date added” field is also updated.

This is a problem since MailChimp autoresponders are configured to send emails based on the user’s registration date, not the date of the role change.

How can I change this behavior? I want s2Member to only update the list group info and maybe the “last changed” field, but definitely not the “date added” field.

Thanks,
Greg Keen

p.s.: A while ago MailChimp did not support autoresponder schedules based on the date added field for imported subscribers. Back then I used a custom date field for the registration date. The problem was the same: s2Member updated this field every time the user’s role changed.

Hey Everyone,

Any idea on this problem? Am I the only one with this problem or do you not use s2Member and MailChimp together with autoresponders?

Thanks again, Greg
