Events…Mail Chimp Integration

Two Questions:

Main Question: Under Settings…Extras is there a way to associate the Mail Chimp Plugin with the Events Plus plugin?

We would like to capture the contact info from the attendee and send it to Mail chimp so that we may send promotions to the attendee for future events and the client prefers mail chimp.

Side Question: If I check Allow FB and Twitter Login is there a way to capture their contact info if they login this way and then sign up for an event?

Please advise re. BOTH questions.

Thank you.

    Hey David,

    Hope you're doing well today and thanks for your questions.

    Main Question: Under Settings…Extras is there a way to associate the Mail Chimp Plugin with the Events Plus plugin?

    Currently there is no mailchimp integration with Events+, there is enewsletter integration though. Another alternative is that you can export the RSVP list into a csv which you could then upload to your mailchimp list :slight_smile:

    I have attached a screenshot of where to do this.

    Side Question: If I check Allow FB and Twitter Login is there a way to capture their contact info if they login this way and then sign up for an event?

    With FB it will store there email but with twitter it won't. This is because Twitter doesn't allow access to the users email through API.

    Hope this helps :slight_smile:

    Let me know if you have any further questions!

    Cheers,

    Tyler

    Hi Tyler.

    Two follow-up questions:

    1: How easy is it to import and upload a CSV file in Chimp Mail?

    2. Since I cannot capture the info in FB and Twitter I will not activate these settings. That said if I click on I’m attending I am taken to a WordPress login page.

    How does a new visitor register from this page? There is no option to register. Most web visitors are not WordPress savvy and they do not have established login credentials. They need this to be a simplified process.

    Please refer to screenshot: http://162.144.73.104/~aztrauma/wp-content/uploads/ss_attending.jpg

    Please advise on both issues. Thank you.

    Hello again @David, I hope you’re well today!

    1: How easy is it to import and upload a CSV file in Chimp Mail?

    It’s very easy… You can see Mailchimp’s instructions here: http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/how-do-i-create-and-import-my-list/

    How does a new visitor register from this page? There is no option to register.

    From your dashboard please go to Settings => General and activate the “Anyone can register” setting.

    I hope that helps!

    Cheers,

    Ari.
