Usage

This module integrates your SilverStripe flexiforms with MailChimp through the MailChimp v2 API.

You associate a form with a MailChimp List. When a valid submission is made, the submitter is subscribed to the associated list and optionally added to selected Interest Groups.

You have control over Welcome Emails, Double Opt-In, and Email Preferences.

Configuration is per-form, allowing you to override the default handler settings. E.g. You may use the same handler on forms which subscribe the user to different lists.

• Install this module and trigger the environment builder (/dev/build).

• Create a new Mailchimp Handler under the Manage Handlers area from any FlexiForm Settings tab.

• Assign the Mailchimp Handler to any form you wish to integrate with MailChimp. Save. The MailChimp tab will appear where you may further configure the integration.

Automatic Form Creation

You may programatically create forms integrated with MailChimp using the convenicences of flexiform.
