Gravity Forms MailChimp Add-On v1.6 Released

Posted by at 11:19 am on January 18th, 2012 | 6 comments

Gravity Forms MailChimp Add-On v1.6 is now available via automatic update. This is a highly anticipated update that introduces several new features, including support for MailChimp Groups!

Not only does this update allow you to define which group to add the user to, it allows you to conditionally add them to groups based on field selections the user makes when submitting the form. We have also added support for the PayPal Add-On so that you can configure your PayPal settings so that subscribers are only added to your MailChimp list after payment is received.

If you are a MailChimp user we highly suggest updating to this new release to take advantage of the power of MailChimp Groups to segment your mailing lists.

Note: The MailChimp Add-On is only available to Gravity Forms Business & Developer license holders

Here is a look at what is new in Gravity Forms MailChimp Add-On v1.6:

  • Added support for MaiChimp Groups so that subscribers can be assigned to a group when added to a list.
  • Added integration with PayPal so that subscribers can be added only when payment is received.
  • Added Form Title to the list of fields to be mapped.
  • Fixed issue where RG_CURRENT_PAGE constant was not available when GF is deactivated.
  • Fixed noticed caused where $api variable not declared.
  • Updated procedure that gets the MailChimp lists so that more than 25 lists are returned (up to 100).

    Soon, very soon! Sorry for the delays. It's been difficult as I am currently traveling and I typically handle releases and deployments. But it's on our list and i'm still targeting the end of this week.

    This is really great, Carl. Thanks for getting this out. A quick question, though, since I'm not able to test at the moment:

    Mailchimp, for as great as it is, is really dumb about how they handle adding/removing people to multiple groups. What happens if someone is already on a list, and then they use a GF to add themselves to a group within that list? If you try to do this with a normal form, this will fail and serve an "already subscribed" error.

    What happens if you do this with a GF? Is it different because it's going through the API?

    Gravity Forms is intelligent enough to check if the subscriber already exists on your list, and add them to the configured groups if so. It works regardless of the users email already existing on the list or not.
