I have a landing page with a Mailchimp form. I need visitors, including already signed up users, to be able to sign up to this Mailchimp form linked to the same audience list, but onto a segment. The end goal is to have a segment that also includes emails signed up to the main list, in order to target emails interested only to the product on that landing page.
The issue is that I cannot have a user already signed up to the main list, sign up to the landing page form segment. I cannot find any resource online on how to have a separate form on a landing page that allows any email to be added to the segment. Is the approach incorrect?
If if you have made the "Group" visible, then existing users can "Update their preference" from any of your past emails. This option is usually located in the footer (that is added by MailChimp by default) of the email. Once the user follows the update process, they should be able to subscribe/unsubscribe from the groups as they please.
By the way, this is more of a question for the MailChimp Help Desk not for this forum.

My team and I have divided and conquered with creating assignments on Google Classroom using Forms. If we all share out the same form, will I see just my students or will all students show up?
Who will see the submissions?
When collaborating on a shared form and enabling the option Get email notifications for new responses - the notifications will be received by the editor who enabled with option for the given form - in this case you.
Thereby, you will receive ALL the notifications for form submissions - no matter who created the assignment and posted the form filling URL.
Analogously, all the other collaborators that enable the option "`Get email notifications for new responses" will receive ALL form submissions
In addition, all collaborators will have access to the destination spreadsheet where the responses are stored.
If you want to avoid this:
Rather then using the shared form, make a copy of it
Obtain and use the new response URL belonging to the new copy
Select your own destination spreadsheet that is not shared with anyone
Nobody other than you will have access to the form submissions made to your private copy of the shared form.
We are currently using the Business' Yammer network as a way to keep track of incident management updates. There are several groups that have been created to handle various different types of escalation matters and so on. The team that need to use these groups need to all be members of each of these groups. Will there ever be a way to use a csv file through the Bulk User Update section to add a list of network members to each of these groups?
I managed to solve my own problem. Persistence seems to always pay off.
Turns out it can be done right from the groups main setting page. Clicking on the gear icon and selecting Import from Address Book. From Here you can use a .csv file with the headers First Name, Last Name, E-mail Address and the details filled in, a contact per line.
Since Mailchimp is taking over the billing and management of Mandrill accounts, does this mean that any sending domain I wish to send to via Mandrill also needs to be a verified sending domain in MailChimp?
I cannot find a clear answer on what will happen come the 27th when the legacy mandrill accounts will be suspended.
You won't need to verify in both Mandrill and MailChimp at this time. But depending on when your account was created, you may need to perform an additional verification step.
In Mandrill, go to the Sending Domains page in your account. Be sure there are three checkmarks for each of the sending domains you want to continue using (like the second one shown below).
If you don't see the third checkmark (like the first line), click the button (top right of the table) that says "Verify A Domain" to generate the verification email.
I need to add an existing subscriber to a list segment via a link in a campaign email.
Been racking my brains over this for a little while and have a few ideas but was wondering if there is a more simple way.
My main idea at the moment is that they click a link and it takes them to a 'thank you' php page which automatically picks up a pushed email address and then adds that address to a segment.
Is this possible through merge tags or a different method?
Here's what I'd like to do:
User completes sign up form on my app
My app sends the input data (email address, name, etc) to Mailchimp via the API, but with a status of 'pending'
My app sends an email to the user asking them to confirm their email address (essentially emulating the Mailchimp confirmation email)
User clicks link in confirmation email, which takes them back to a confirmation page in my app
My app updates the user's status in Mailchimp to 'subscribed' via the API
Essentially, I want to emulate Mailchimps standard confirmation process, but sending the emails from my own app.
The part that I don't know how to do (or don't know if it's possible) is the part where I add a new subscriber with a status of 'pending'.
Here's some further info that's not strictly relevant but may be of interest...
Why don't I just use the standard Mailchimp confirmation email?
The confirmation email needs to contain extra info, unique to each user, that Mailchimp will not have access to.
Why don't I collect all the data locally and then send it all to Mailchimp once the user has confirmed their email address?
For reasons I won't go into, the number and type of required fields will be unknown. At the point when the sign up form is displayed, I will request the list of fields from Mailchimp and display the necessary fields. It is possible that, between the time when the user initially completes the form and the time when the user confirms via email, the required fields will have been changed. If I try to submit the previously collected data to Mailchimp after the required fields have been changed, it will cause an error.
So I need to collect and submit all data to Mailchimp at the same time. And then simply 'switch on' that user in Mailchimp once (s)he has confirmed.
I hope I've provided enough info. If not, happy to provide more or clarify any points.
Thanks!
The internal "pending" status is not able to be managed manually like that. You can subscribe them using double opt-in and then later force them onto the "subscribed" list, but you can't stop them from getting MailChimp's own confirmation email.
One possible work-around would be to add an interest group or merge field that is populated by your system once you've confirmed the email address. You'd then create a saved segment for only confirmed users and make sure you only ever send to that segment and never the whole list.
Another possibility, if you use API v3.0 (which is currently only in beta), is to add them to your list as unsubscribed and then switch their status to "subscribed" once you've confirmed them. If you do this, be very careful that you're not re-subscribing users who unsubscribed or you could wind up in trouble.
This workflow is definitely 100% possible in the current (V3) of the API. Just set the "status" field on a member to "pending" and then to "subscribed".
