SubscribeToMailchimp

Lightweight module for ProcessWire that let you subscribe a user to a mailchimp list.

I have only tested it with PHP7.x and Processwire 3.x.

The basic idea

// Easily subscribe a user with SubscribeToMailchimp
$mc = $modules->get("SubscribeToMailchimp");
$mc->subscribe('john.doe@example.com');

How To Install

1. Download the zip file at Github or clone directly the repo into your site/modules
2. If you downloaded the zip file, extract it in your sites/modules directory.
3. You might have to change the folders name to 'SubscribeToMailchimp'.
4. Goto the modules admin page, click on refresh and install it.

Setup

1. Log into your Mailchimp account and go to Profile > Extras > API Keys.
2. If you don't have an API Key, create a new one.
3. Copy your API Key and paste it in the module settings (Processwire > Modules > Site > SubscribeToMailchimp).
4. Back in Mailchimp, go to the list, where you want your new subscribers.
5. Go to Settings > List name and defaults. Copy the List ID an paste it into the module settings.
6. Test your settings with the provided checkbox.

Usage

// load module into template
$mc = $modules->get("SubscribeToMailchimp");

 // subscribe / update a user in your default list
$mc->subscribe('john.doe@example.com');

// add merge_fields to fill out user data, based on your list MERGE_FIELD options
// You need to setup the fields at "Settings > List fields and *|MERGE|* tags" first!
$mc->subscribe('john.doe@example.com', ['FNAME' => 'John', 'LNAME' => 'Doe']);

// Subscribe a user to a custom list (other than default)
$mc->subscribe('john.doe@example.com', ['FNAME' => 'John', 'LNAME' => 'Doe'], 'adcdef12345');

// Work with additional parameters (not merge_field values!)
$mc->subscribe('john.doe@example.com', NULL, NULL, [
	'language' => 'en', // find language list here: https://kb.mailchimp.com/lists/manage-contacts/view-and-edit-contact-languages#Language-Codes
	'vip' => true, // boolean vip status
	'location' => [ // geo location based on lat/log coordinates 
		'latitude' => '48.8722344',
		'longitude', => '2.7736192'
	],
	'interests' => [ // subscribe user to interest categories / groups based on group id
		'32fec3561e' => true, 
		'63mel4395m' => false
	]
]);

Additional methods

// Unsubscribe a user
$mc->unsubscribe('john.doe@example.com'); 

// Unsubscribe a user from a custom list
$mc->unsubscribe('john.doe@example.com', 'abcdef1356');

// Permanently delete a user. Carefully, this step cannot be undone!
$mc->delete('john.doe@example.com');

// Get the subscription status of a user.
$mc->getStatus('john.doe@example.com');

// Static function to test your settings.
// If no list id is provided, it will test your default list and returns a formated html result
$mc->testSettings('list id');

Important Notes

• This module does not do any data validation. Use a sever-sided validation like Valitron
• Make sure that you have set up your fields in your Mailchimp list. You can do it at Settings > List fields and *|MERGE|* tags

Example

Example usage after a form is submitted on your page:

// ... validation of form data

$mc = $modules->get("SubscribeToMailchimp");
$email = $input->post->email;
$subscriber = [
  'FNAME' => $input->post->firstname,
  'LNAME' => $input->post->lastname,
];
$mc->subscribe($email, $subscriber);

Troubleshooting

In case of trouble check your ProcessWire warning logs.

FAQ

I can't see the subscriber in the list

If you have enabled double opt-in (it is enabled by default) you will not see the subscriber, until he confirmed the subscription in the email sent by Mailchimp

I get an error in my ProccessWire warning logs

• Check if you have the right List ID and API Key.
• Check if you pass fields, that exist in your list.
• Check if you pass a valid email address.
