[Plugin: MailChimp List Subscribe Form] Adding in Mail Chimp Competition

Hey Mandy,

There’s a copule of questions here, so let’s take them one at a time. For the checkbox, you could add a group to your list and ask people to check the box to be added to the list. However, there’s not a built-in way for us to prevent someone from joining a list without checking that box. Your best bet in this case may be to get creative with javascript and the MailChimp embedded form for displaying the “subscribe” button conditionally. If you’re not super-stoked on coding your own form, we do have some epxerts who would be able to assist in that avenue.

With regard to a subscriber who’s already on a list, it depends on how you set up your “content” list. If that’s a separate list in your account completely, you could have people sign up to this second list that’s entirely independent from your “main” list. However, if you just wanted to set it up as a group within the main list, they will see a message that they’re already subscribed to that list.

Hope that helps!

Cheers

Hey,

Sorry for the late reply! thanks for your reply this does help a lot, heading over to the experts @ mailchimp now to see about this.

Is there a way of adding a secondary list getting subscribers once its finished importing them to the main list and deleting the old?

Thanks again for all your help!
Mandy
