It's great that you have added support for MailChimp in the autoresponder section, thanks for that! I've been working with MailChimp a lot this week and they are so much better than Aweber (and free for up to 500 subscribers to boot). So I really appreciate that you support them.

Only thing I'm trying to figure out, is there a way to set them up in the Settings > Autoresponder Settings to work with a segmented list - adding customers to a specific segment?

MailChimp is a bit different, they encourage you to have all your subscribers in one list if possible. They support segmentation really well. But it means that if I add a customer to a list, they won't belong to a segment until I go in and do it manually. I was wondering if there is a way to add them directly to a segment, or if not, can that be added to the features wishlist?

Thanks,
donna

Hi Dona, most autoresponder services do not have segmented list so the integration is based on a per list basis (to keep consistency). I will look into the segmented list option though.

I have a question relating to this.

I would like to be able to update a particular field within my mailchimp list upon an estore purchase, specifically a purchase date. Is this possible through the estore integration at this time or do I need to do this on my own with a cron job?

I can tell you where in the eStore code is signs up the customer with MailChimp. You can then modify the code a bit and add the date field (this requires PHP knowledge though).

Side-question: Am I limited to one mailchimp list or can I load multiple lists? (i.e. can I load to both a general customers list and a list that is specific to a particular product or category?

Hi,
You can reference as many mailchimp lists as you wish but can only add your customers to one list per purchase or transaction. That is, you can specify a global list in your settings page or you can override this list by specifying a list on a per product basis.

Is it possible to set the auto-responder to a group within a larger list?

Basically asking if I can direct the mailchimp autoresponder to a 'group' for each product that feeds into a master 'customers' list.
