Automated load of new client email to MailChimp subscriber list

Is this possible currently? Or a project for the future - and if the latter what development costs?

Re: Automated load of new client email to MailChimp ...

Its not currently possible to do automatically. You can automate the extraction of new clients fairly easily using Scheduled Reports. The output can be emailed or written to a file for later import to MailChimp.

I'm not familiar with MailChimp, but it looks like its just a matter of adding new contacts to a list?

If so, it could be done with a plugin which would be configured with:

  • the list identifier i.e. the MailChimp list the contacts are added to
  • the report to run, to extract the contact data
  • how frequently the load runs (e.g. daily, weekly)

There would need to be a flag added to customers to enable them to opt-out of marketing emails.

Personally, that's what we use the correspondence flag on email for.

Hi Ben,

Can you explain what you mean? How do you find new emails? 

Thanks,

Chris.

On a note related but not the same,

Would love an email client within OpenVPMS with parsing options.
