[Plugin: MailChimp List Subscribe Form] Tie in with Custom Plugin

    I have a custom plugin that also asks for a user’s email address.

    The plugin does a few different things with the email – it turns it into an affiliate ID, so that traffic can be tracked and used for contests.

    I also want to send that email to MailChimp, but I either want to use my own email form, or at least get the email passed back to me so my script can do what it needs to do.

    The rest of the plugin is complete – everything is done – I just want to pass the email along to mail chimp when I am done.

    How do I go about doing this?

    I’m going through the code – It looks like I can call mailchimpSF_signup_submit() by myself whenever I want – but what are the correct parameters?

    I want something like this

    1) User uses my email form
    2) The email is validated using my own script and does what i want it to do.
    3) I call mailchimpSF_signup_submit($validemail, $api, $list)
    4) My script does what it does
    5) Email address is saved and goes to Mail chimp
    6)?????
    7) Profit

    Savy?

    How do?

    Yo Ryan!

    Since you’re basically wanting to deconstruct the plugin and make your own calls, I would point you to our API documentation and support. They might have a little more insight as to what exactly you would need to complete this idea and have your custom plugin submit those subscribers to MailChimp.

    http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/

    You might also want to reach out on our developer forum if you have a specific question about the calls or parameters, as well:

    If there’s anything else we might be able to assist with, please don’t hesitate to give us a shout!

    Cheers

    @mc_nate

    Thanks for the quick response!

    I’ve been checking this forum a lot and see that you try to answer most, if not all questions – very good!

    I’ve been poking around here too — http://jungle.mailchimp.com/forum/
    But I didn’t know about the google code forum! So thanks again for that!

    yeah – I want to either construct my own call with my own parameters- or just use PHP to force one of mailchimp’s function calls with parameters I supply.

    I will check out those sites and see if I can dig up something.

    This is the function I am still trying to play around with:
    mailchimpSF_signup_submit()
    If you find something on one of the mailchimp forums, can you pass along the link?
