Request - use Groups in addition to Lists

[servesense]

This may not be the best place to post this but I wasn't sure where to send it.

Rather than putting customers on separate lists, I would prefer to just put them on Groups under a main list. Or at least I'd like the option to.

It would simplify things for me when sending out emails through MailChimp. Sometimes I want to email all of my customers, not just a specific list. I have to duplicate my campaign multiple times to be able to email all customers. If I had them in groups, I'd still have the option to send automated campaigns to specific groups, but could send an email to all customers when needed.

A customer (ticket 319800) moderators only requested this:

I have one audience and several Groups, I’d like to add each level to a different group.

Anyone solved this issue? I'd like to use mailchimp groups as well. Thank you.

Hey @gdeguglielmo,

This is not something that is currently available, so I cannot predict or speculate if it will be developed, however, this will be put up for consideration with our development team.

To add to this issue, the best way to use the existing structure of the plugin is to use Segments in Mailchimp that are dynamically updated based on merge fields for list subscribers.

Going this route, you will maintain (and pay for) a single list in your Mailchimp account. You can assign all members to the same list. Then, create a segment for each "group" that automatically updates based on the merge field for their level ID.

See this guide for detailed information: https://www.paidmembershipspro.com/create-segment-mailchimp-specific-membership-level/

A customer (ticket 477219) would like this:

My client has a requirement to assign users to different mailchimp lists based on a dropdown on checkout. the dropdown is added via user fields (e.g. A dropdown called ‘interests’ as a user field on checkout - there are 3 options). The user is assigned to a mailchimp list Based on which option the user chooses. How difficult is this to do and how might you go about it. An alternative would be to apply a mailchimp tag to a user if that is possible.

A customer (ticket 481547) request:

I have created a MailChimp Audience named ______. What I want to do is create Segments within this audience to connect each of my membership levels to, but there doesn’t appear to be a way to do this. I only see the option to connect each level with the main audience, I don’t see the segments listed.

Is there a way to connect membership levels to a MailChimp segment?

MailChimp charges based on the number of contacts in your audience. I want each membership to be in a separate “list” so I can email them separately. I also want to be able to email all my members. Plus I want to add an option to sign up for a newsletter which would be another list. Some members could be in multiple lists, and if I build an audience for each separate list, I will be duplicating users in these lists, using more available contacts. MailChimp is now limiting the number of contacts in their Free level to 500 (used to be 2000), so every contact counts. I sent the guide.
