Mailchimp integration

Post by eteanga »

Hi,

has anyone integrated Mailchimp with phpBB?

In other words, when someone registers on your forum, they're also added to your Mailchimp mailing list.

I'd like to know this as well. I just exported from my database and improted into Mailchimp. It's not that hard to do but does take a few minutes. Mailchimp is good at least about auto-updating the list (i.e. not putting in duplicates or anything)

Eh, I hadn't even thought of that.

But an automated solution would suit my needs!

I'm just not smart enough to do this, but I think this is where a talented Mod coder could start:

http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/

http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/webhooks/

What I'd love to see is my forum member's emails sync'd in real time with a MailChimp email list, so I don't have to make manual updates that sometimes number in the hundreds.

I could really use this as well and am actually rather surprised that no one has gone about creating a mod for this. I may try creating something on my own, but I documentation for the API is a bit confusing, although that's probably just my lack of knowledge.

I ask new members to sign up for my email list, but I know they all don't bother and it takes a lot of time to cross-check manually.

Just starting off with MailChimp. My board has been active for 2 years (www.hoteldealsrevealed.com/forum) and my concern is all the old email addresses. MailChimp will surely suspend my account when I get a plethora of undeliverable emails. Thoughts?
Thanks,

I see that this forum is dated, still, I am interested in the same integration between phpbb and mailchimp. I did not see any clear answer. Can someone point me to the right answer or a good alternative?

Thank you,
Darryl

I am also interested in this. Would like to start php-programming as well, so will probably combine the two. Is there anyone else interested in a mod for this?
