I saw this code you can send the ticket date to Mailchimp: https://github.com/eventespresso/ee-code-snippet-library/blob/master/addons/eea-mailchimp/tw_eea_mailchimp_start_date.php
Is there a way I can send what ticket type they selected to Mailchimp? Or if it’s easier, the amount of the ticket?
I’m on Event Espresso 4.10.2.p

Hi John,
Is there a way I can send what ticket type they selected to Mailchimp?
Yes, the filter allows you to add pretty much any details you want to it but we don’t have a snippet that does this already.
May I ask what you mean by ticket type? I’m assuming the ticket name?
Or if it’s easier, the amount of the ticket?
You can add both if needed.
Are you comfortable with PHP?

Hi Tony,
Great. I really just need any way that I can identify the ticket uniquely in Mailchimp so I can send a different welcome email based on the ticket selected. So, Ticket Name would be fine. Ticket Amount would work (since each ticket price is different in this case).
I’m pretty good with PHP. Happy to add a snippet if you can help out with it.

The snippet would be very similar to the one you’ve linked to, only you’d use the EE_Ticket object rather than a EE_Datetime.
Create your mergee var on MialChimp, then these lines would be something like:
$ticket = $registration-> ticket();
if( $ticket instanceof EE_Ticket ) {
//Do whatever you want with the ticket object here.
$merge_vars['TICKETNAME'] = $ticket->name();
}
$ticket would be an instance of EE_Ticket above so you can use our model system to pull whatever details you needed:

Worked like a charm. I created the “TICKETNAME” merge field in Mailchimp. Then I added this code to my functions.php and it passed the ticket name just right.
function tw_eea_mailchimp_start_date( $subscribe_args, $registration, $EVT_ID ) {
//Check we have a valid EE Registration
if( $registration instanceof EE_Registration ) {
//Pull the merge_vars array from $subscribe_args.
$merge_vars = $subscribe_args['merge_vars'];
$ticket = $registration-> ticket();
if( $ticket instanceof EE_Ticket ) {
//Do whatever you want with the ticket object here.
$merge_vars['TICKETNAME'] = $ticket->name();
}
//Add the merge vars back into the subscriptions args.
$subscribe_args['merge_vars'] = $merge_vars;
}
return $subscribe_args;
}
add_filter('FHEE__EE_MCI_Controller__mci_submit_to_mailchimp__subscribe_args', 'tw_eea_mailchimp_start_date', 10, 3);
In case I want to do price later, can you let me know what the code would be for it? I just need this piece: $merge_vars[‘TICKETPRICE’] = $ticket->price(); Is that right?

Correct.
If you use something like kint debugger and wrap the object in d(); you’ll be able to see all of the available methods on that object.

Thanks. I’ll have my development team dive into it once we turn the Mailchimp email into a full receipt. I appreciate you helping me with the immediate need though. I love that I could guess it though 🙂

And just for good measure. Here’s the final code I used to push the ticket name and price to Mailchimp:
/* Event Send TicketName to Mailchimp */
function tw_eea_mailchimp_start_date( $subscribe_args, $registration, $EVT_ID ) {
//Check we have a valid EE Registration
if( $registration instanceof EE_Registration ) {
//Pull the merge_vars array from $subscribe_args.
$merge_vars = $subscribe_args['merge_vars'];
$ticket = $registration-> ticket();
if( $ticket instanceof EE_Ticket ) {
//Do whatever you want with the ticket object here.
$merge_vars['TICKETNAME'] = $ticket->name();
$merge_vars['TICKETPRIC'] = $ticket->price();
}
//Add the merge vars back into the subscriptions args.
$subscribe_args['merge_vars'] = $merge_vars;
}
return $subscribe_args;
}
add_filter('FHEE__EE_MCI_Controller__mci_submit_to_mailchimp__subscribe_args', 'tw_eea_mailchimp_start_date', 10, 3);
This requires MERGE tags to be created for your list in Mailchimp as follows: TICKETNAME and TICKETPRIC
Note: I had to to TICKETPRIC since there’s a limit on length of a MERGE Tag in Mailchimp.
Works like a charm. Thanks!

Great, I’m glad you have a working snippet.
Just a side note, we use TKT as shorthand for ticket, so you could use TKTNAME and TKTPRICE to have consistent naming if preferred.
