# Chimpbridge Default Behavior

 * Is it normal behavior for your plugin to remove a draft from MailChimp when you
   duplicate one on WordPress? Seems to me it would just create a new draft on MailChimp
   with that new permalink and name.
 * Also, when you change the name or slug in the table view is it normal behavior
   for it to delete the post from MailChimp, or is it supposed to update that post
   on MailChimp or even replace it?
 * Curious your reply if available.

 * Hi [@designdrumm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/designdrumm/) !
 * The plugin doesn’t have duplication abilities, so if you’re using a post duplicator
   it may cause issues.
 * For the name change it likely won’t update in MailChimp directly from the table
   view.
 * Cheers!

 * Hey Brian,
    Thanks for the reply!
 * Yeah, it basically deletes the MailChimp post
    and then when you save a draft
   it puts it back but there is an error message from MailChimp because your plugin
   automatically deletes and then creates instead of using MailChimp’s update feature.
 * So when the post is renamed or duplicated in table view
    then saved again (in
   edit mode), MailChimp doesn’t have a record for that post anymore and can’t delete
   anything before creating.
 * I really like your plugin idea, but I think you’re going
    about it the wrong 
   way with having your own custom posts and area to edit them. This idea, in my
   opinion, would be better served if you just attached to the regular WordPress‘
   post’. Adding your meta_boxes to the side that lets someone still publish the
   post (utilizing post functionalities like ping-backs, categories, tags, featured
   image, etc) and then send the post separately.
 * Maybe make an ’email’ post-format template instead? Then you
    just add a ‘post-
   format’ when loading the editor. For now, you’ve taken native functionality away
   from WordPress by silencing the regular ‘publish’, ‘revisions’, ‘author’ and 
   permalink actions and replacing buttons.
 * Not the best approach in my opinion.
    Again, no harm no foul. Just my truths 
   and ideas. Great plugin.

 * Considering campaigns get sent out more than once by businesses,
    you may want
   to consider adding your own duplicate feature.
 * Have it only duplicate drafts or make sure when it duplicates,
    it doesn’t mess
   with any of the original campaigns MailChimp submission stuff. Currently when
   the duplicate feature of my “duplicate post” plugin does the ‘save_post’ action,
   it kicks your ‘save_post’ action in which deletes and recreates a post on MailChimp
   because the post duplicator doesn’t know about your campaign id meta and does’t
   reset it. So two post have the same campaign id and can overwrite each other.
 * Best,
    designdrumm

 * Thanks for the suggestion! It’s not something that’s planned currently but perhaps
   in the future.
 * Cheers,
    Brian
