Overview
A membership site collects names and email addresses at registration, and copying them into a mailing tool by hand takes time. This extension links Ultimate Member with MailChimp so new users can be added to your lists right after they sign up. Users can also opt in on the registration form, so people join the lists they actually want.
You decide which lists appear and where. Different registration forms can show different MailChimp lists, which suits sites with several membership types or interests. User meta data can be synced with the lists, and list visibility can be limited to specific user roles. That keeps each subscriber's list choices relevant to who they are.
Features
- Automatic list sign-up: New users are added to your MailChimp mailing lists right after they register, so you do not have to move addresses between systems yourself.
- Opt-in during registration: Users can choose to subscribe while they sign up, which lets them state their preferences at the start.
- Multiple lists per form: Add several MailChimp lists to any registration form, and let users pick which ones they want to join.
- Different lists on different forms: Show separate MailChimp subscription lists on separate registration forms to segment your audience by membership type or interest.
- User meta data sync: Sync user meta data with your MailChimp lists, so your email campaigns can be personalized for each subscriber.
- Account page preferences: Users can manage their subscriptions from their account page, including subscribing to and unsubscribing from lists.
- Role-based list visibility: Restrict which lists are shown to specific user roles, so people only see the mailing lists that are relevant to them.
- Documentation included: Documentation comes with the plugin to guide you through setting up and maintaining the MailChimp connection.
Best for
- Membership sites built on Ultimate Member
- Site owners growing a MailChimp newsletter list
