Registration form choices and mailchimp

My client holds events in different geographical areas (at present Manchester, London and uae) and in the registration form I have a dropdown menu for these 3 areas. I’ve set up mailchimp and done the api integration.

The client wants it so that when someone selects, say, London in the registration form that they are added to the London list in mailchimp, but ONLY the London List …not the Manchester or uae lists.

How can I accomplish this please?

Many thanks for your time

I am wondering if the client should look at it a different way. I am not sure that the single form can get the information into different LISTS in MC, but you can set up groups, and in which case, I think the customer’s choice will set them in different GROUPS of a single LIST.

Maybe read this article in the MC site: http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/what-is-a-group-and-why-would-i-want-to-set-one-up

This setup will allow for sending emails/notifications/auto-responders based on the group (which will be the customer’s choice) or send something to everyone in ONE email if needed too (ex: rate changes, super-special promotion, etc.)

Cassel, you are such a god-send :)

Would I make the 3 different geographical locations be 3 different levels in S2M …one s2m level for each different location??

…Off now to read the mailchimp side of it in the link you’ve given. Thank you so much for your great help. (Your answer to someone else re seamless MC integration was very helpful too last night!)

Honestly, I am not 100% sure because I have not used it, but I am pretty sure I read somewhere in this forum that there was a way to associate fields with MC. However, that is about as far as my knowledge goes.

Maybe someone more knowledgeable of the coding behind the scene could add more specific information to your particular situation.

Thank you Cassel …and yes, someone who knows will probably be along soon!
