Mailchimp Integration

I’ve been looking for this a bit and would like a pointer to the correct documentation.
When I setup list integration with mail chimp it works well.
The confirmation email comes from mailchimp with a link to the users mail chimp profile.
Is there no way for s2member to handle the email confirmation part and pass it along to mail chimp. I don’t want the users to have to sort out 2 emails (one from s2member one from mail chimp list) to confirm subscription. Also, I don’t want users directed to my main business site from mailchimp. It’s a corporate site and not the site page for the newsletter.

So can s2member handle all the email confirmation stuff?

If that is not possible, is there a way to get s2member to process the list servers after new registration activates their account?

Hello,

Yes, this is possible with s2Member. Please see this thread from the old forum:

Great. Thanks.

So if I understand this correctly, if we add the hack, then this workflow may happen:

1. User completes registration form on our site
2. User’s email is added to our MailChimp list
3. User get’s the activation email from our site and ignores it.

In this scenario, the user has been added to our MailChimp list even though we haven’t confirmed their email and they haven’t opt-ed in through our site.

Is there any way to add the user to our MailChimp list only AFTER they confirm their WordPress account?

Thanks,
Gal

I am also looking for the same answer. I would like people to be added to my mailchimp list when they sign up using my s2member pro form so that they don’t have to opp into two emails. My site is setup to take open registration so it is free to join and s2member sends new users there password in a email. I would users to be added to mailchimp all at the same time.

Hope someone can help.

That looks like it’s for MultiUser WordPress. Is it supposed to work with regular WP?

Can we get an answer as to if this works with a regular WP site and not just for MulitUser?
I need to do this but I have a single WP site. I want to make sure it is going to work before I do it
Thanks

That single opt-in hack for MailChimp is not exclusive to multisite installations.

You should tell the user somewhere that he’ll be getting your emails, or I believe it may could cause you trouble with MailChimp. You can mention it during registration and also in the New User email. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Email Configuration -> New User[/hilite]

Not letting users set their password on registration, but having WordPress generate one and email it to them in the New User email, requiring them to go open the email to then login, could be considered a double opt-in. It also works great to confirm the email address is valid. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Registration/Profile Fields -> Allow Custom Passwords[/hilite]

The user would be added to the MailChimp list on registration, not on login, so it’s not like he’d activate the account in some way before being added to the list, accounts are active the moment they’re created in WordPress, unless some other plugin alters this.

I hope that clarifies things a bit. :)
