Hope you can help on this one. I want to resend the welcome email to anyone that enters email submit on my mailchimp form. This includes new subscribers and existing subscribers that re-enter their email addresses on the mailchimp form. Hope that makes sense. Any help appreciated. I'm new but quick study to the html and php coding world so if you can step thru for me.

So, it seems pretty unlikely that you'd actually want to send a welcome email multiple times. It seems more likely that you're putting other content in the welcome email and trying to use it cleverly to achieve some other goal. I'd focus on that goal instead of the current implementation you're working on.
The answer to your question, though is that this isn't possible directly. Your two options are 1) delete the subscriber and then re-subscribe them or 2) use automations to send the email you really want to send when you want to send it.
I'm not 100% sure #1 will work, and even if it does, you'll lose user activity for those users when they re-subscribe. I'd work on #2 if I were you.

In preparation to GDPR i have to send a re-confirm message to all subscribers, My client has sent me an example seemingly using Mailchimp where the subscribers can reconfirm that they do wish to continue a subscription by simply pressing a button "I wish to continue to subscribe". I have done lots of research and going through the settings at Mailchimp but cannot find any information on how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.
I did however find this Question on Stackoverflow, and have been in contact with the developer who found another way to consolidate his lists.
The link on the button used in both exemples are coded like this:
https://xxxxxxx12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=xxxxx&id=xxxxx&e=xxxxx&data=xxxxx|0|xxxxx&sdata=xxxxx=&reserved=0.
Any help would be appreciated.
What you're seeing is a typical intermediate tracking url that mailchimp inserts instead of the underlying link and is unique to each email, link and user. Hence you can 'abuse' this to use link tracking as reconfirmation as I described in this answer.
We have Exchange server 2013. I am testing a security method to warn users when external emails are received. This is I am doing by putting "EXTERNAL" text in front of subject-line of incoming emails except if the email-subject already has the text. This is working fine.
Now, what I am trying to do is to remove the text "EXTERNAL" when user will reply to the email. I am having a hard time getting a way to achieve it. Exchange rules, so far I have looked into, does not have anything to remove from subject-line, only to prepend.
How can I do it? My goal is to flag incoming external emails and show it users Outlook client in a way so users would see. I want to use Exchange server built-in functionalities, or from Outlook if the settings can be managed by group-policy and users wont be able to change it.
Thanks and appreciate your help.
I do not know the answer but my search for a way to strip "[External]" and "[EXT]" from the subject line of all incoming emails is what brought me here. It seems IT in so many companies has decided this is a great idea and I just want to share my thoughts that it is a HORRIBLE idea and I wish everyone would stop doing it. You can no longer group all emails by subject line and bring everything together, which is seriously inefficient. There HAS to be a better way to teach your employees to not click on spam/scam links than messing with the existing subject lines. This may be my pet peeve of the century.
I have a problem with the link with MailChimp. The problem is that MailChimp is sending an email to confirm subscription every time somebody is filling any kind of form. But, I don't want MailChimp to do that, because my prospects are not subscribing for newsletter (I mean, not each time they are filling a form). So, I'm afraid my prospects will run away when they will see that strange email in there inbox.
Is there a way to shut this email off ?
Thank you.
A confirmation is good to know that users exist or you want be sending it to people whose email addresses were bought but are no longer using them. Also buying an email list is not recommended (not saying you are), it will affect the deliverability of the campaign and not to mention complaints can cause black listing. Now having said that try and see if you can change the optin status from double to single (even if they give the option). I know dotmailer does/used to give an to change a user from double option to single optin.
I am making an event organisation platform. Whenever user creates an event, the candidate gets an email notification as well as sms notification asking whether the suggested time fits or not. The problem is that since it is event organisation, there may be more than one occurance of candidate's mobile phone. So I need to have some unique information to identify to which event candidate is responding to.
I have tried identify using Message SID, but then I realised that Message SID is different on reply message.
So my question would be: is there any way to authenticate to which message candidate is replying to?
Hi Twilio developer evangelist here.
Because every message is idempotent, you wouldn't be able to track them just via the call sid. however, there's way to get around that such as passing a code that goes with each message which you can then read, or using cookies.
I think you are probably going to be more successful using cookies, and luckily enough there is an article on twilio's website that describes just how to do that. And because I noticed you're using PHP, I'm pointing you directly to the PHP article on tracking SMS conversations.
Hope this helps you
A client of mine is planning to move from a WordPress newsletter plugin to MailChimp.
As a result we'd be importing all the subscribers from the old system into MailChimp. However we have a feeling that a lot of those subscribers are either fake, dead emails, or not interested any more.
I was wondering whether there is any way to bulk resend an opt-in, so that all subscribers get a mail asking them to click a link to continue their subscription?
I didn't notice anything obvious when selecting all subscribers in a list on MailChimp
At present, it doesn't seem as if there's any way to batch resend confirmation emails. To accomplish what you're after, you can use other mailchimp tools and external methods to clean your list up.
One way would be to contact your users and have them reconfirm. An example from a mailchimp knowledge base article:
"Hi |FNAME|,
Remember us? You visited our website back on |OPTIN_DATE| and signed up for our email newsletter. Well, we’ve finally gotten around to setting up a nifty email newsletter program, and we want to make sure you still want to hear from us. We hope you do, because every month or so our newsletter will include useful how-tos, tips, and advice (plus special offers like the one below).
If you want to stay on our list, click here to renew your subscription! Of course, we don’t want to clog up your inbox with stuff you don’t want. If you're not interested, you can ignore this and you’ll never hear from us again…"
You can also remove people who haven't clicked on the last N campaigns, remove low-rating users, or use another way to remove people who aren't engaging.
