Hi,
I want to be able to use MailChimp to send emails rather then the built in emailer. To enable me todo this I need to send all the event details to MailChimp. At the moment it seems you can only send the name, email, and questions. Is there a way to send all the event details to MailChimp?
At a minimum I want to send reminders before the event with the link to their ticket. How can I at least send the ticket link into MailChimp?
Thanks,
Ash

Hi Ash,
EE doesn’t pass all of that information to the MailChimp add-on however the add-on passess all of the subscribe arguments through a filter before sending over to MailChimp, so it is possible to add custom values but will require custom code.
The filter you need to use is:
FHEE__EE_MCI_Controller__mci_submit_to_mailchimp__subscribe_args
Here is an example of using that filter to add the event start date to a merge var:

Here is another example of a user sending the values used to create the TICKET_URL to another merge var so they could include the ticket links in the MailChimp newsletter emails:
