    Hello,

    This is a great plugin!
    It works beautifully… we couldn’t be more thankful.
    There’s only one thing that we’re missing:

    Is it possible to get an email every time someone subscribes to our Mailchimp list using your plugin?

    Note: for some weird reason, our WP Theme isn’t compatible with Contact Form 7 (just in case you were going to suggest using it). We can use Jetpack forms, if that helps.

    Note 2: we can try to use an external app like Zapier or IFTTT if this feature isn’t ready in the plugin.

    I know the whole goal of your plugin is to merge a subscription form from WP and into Mailchimp, but our sales department guy also needs to receive the information so he can call the potential clients asap.

    What do you suggest?

    Kind regards and thanks again for such a great plugin!

    Jose

    Hi Jose,

    Thank you for the kind words about the plugin ??

    Notifications are available via your MailChimp account. Here is their article on how to enable them: https://kb.mailchimp.com/lists/managing-subscribers/change-subscribe-and-unsubscribe-notifications

    Your form needs to set to double opt-in to use them.

    Right now our plugin does not do notification on its own, but we plan on building an add-on to do that.

    Thank you!

    As a follow up to Tracys response – we have a number of action hooks and filters that other developers can make use of.

    We have built in a number of actions that fire off during the submission process – including before, during and after the API requests.

    In future, we will be building out an add-on that fires off an email each time a new user subscribes to your MailChimp lists – but in the meantime things need to be hand coded by you.

    If you are comfortable writing some code, or anyone else who may come across this thread, I would recommend hooking into yikes-mailchimp-form-submission. (reference: https://github.com/yikesinc/yikes-inc-easy-mailchimp-extender/blob/master/public/partials/shortcodes/process/process_form_submission.php#L298-L310)

    and using wp_mail() in conjunction with the form data submitted by the user to construct a custom email to send to yourself. Theroretically, it would be a single function added to your functions.php file – which would then enable emails each time a subscriber was successfully added to your mailing list.

    Thanks,
    Evan

    We wanted to avoid Double Opt-in (since the users are already accepting our terms and conditions on the form) so I’ve set up a Zapier trigger that sends our client an email every time the Mailchimp list gets a new subscriber.

    I think it’s a good option for now but would rather prefer using your plugin new feats as soon as you publish them.

    Keep the good work and thanks for your answer!
