So one year ago (ironically, EXACTLY one year ago today), I asked here about adding EE registrants to a subgroup. I was told that that was a low-burner issue for EE at that time. With all of the new changes in EE and MC that have happened since then, is that possible to do yet? Can I modify some code (like mentioned in this topic) to do that? Our annual kids math competition is coming up again and I really need to know if we’ll be able to do that this year or not. Last year I had to manually move email addresses from one list to another and it felt very dangerous regarding the possibility of human error. It would be devastating to accidentally send an email to the wrong group of people telling them that they are winners!

The ability to use Mailchimp groups was added in version 1.1. I’m not that familiar with it, so I am unsure about adding to sub-groups.

Okay… is anyone else familiar with MC integration and knows about using sub-groups?
Thanks!

Hi,
Unless I am mistaken, you can only have groups within a list and not sub groups within a group. OR are you referring to segments?
Currently the Mailchimp addon, will allow you to select a group within a list so that the user is allocated to that group after confirming the double opt in.

So I just found this link which indicates that an update HAS been released since last year to now allow for adding to MC Groups. That’s awesome!
However, I realized this morning that my MailChimp integration isn’t working at all! The 55 people who have already registered in the last few weeks have not been added (any of them) to my “2013 Registrants” list in MailChimp, even though I selected that list in each Event’s overview.
Where do I go from here to figure this out?

FWIW, I registered myself this morning as a test, and did NOT get an opt-in email from MC like I’m supposed to. I don’t remember if I received one last year or not, but I want to say that registrants did not get them before either and I thought that was odd.

The current version of the mailchimp integration has a bug in it that breaks if you do not use a group. There is a fix here: https://eventespresso.com/topic/mailchimp-integration-settings-part-ii/#post-55056
In that same file, line 272 should be changed from:
if ( $api->errorCode = '214' ) {
to:
if ( $api->errorCode = '214' && 1 < count( $groups_data ) ) {
