Am still a newby to this and testing… – using EE4 and have installed MailChimp

lets say I am offering 10 different classes on line to register for

I want to collect the email address of each person in each class and then be able to email all the people in 1 class re the next lot of classes for that group

how do i do that with Mail Chimp please – or is there a better way

this dosent seem to be working….ive created a list in Mailchimp called Class Attendees – I selected this in the EE event but when i register for the event and check mailchimp list there are no subscribers

also do i need to create a list in Mailchimp for every event if I wish to just email all the people from 1 event?

Hello,

Those registrants would need to opt-in to receive those emails by clicking an email from MailChimp.

When you were testing, were you using a personal email as if you were an attendee/registrant?

thanKS LORENZO – I did get this working in a fashion but lets say i have 3 events in EE – and i want to collect the registration emails seperately for each event so i can email them about the next class. does this mean i have to create 3 seperate lists in MailChimp corresponding to each event? its not really clear from the Mailchimp doco

I replied to this question in your other thread here:

https://eventespresso.com/topic/evaluating-ee-and-have-some-questions/#post-200672

There’s more than one way to set this up within MailChimp.

You can have multiple lists within MailChimp and then select each indivial list for the event, or (and likely the better way) is to create a single list for these events but within the list create Groups:

http://kb.mailchimp.com/segments/add-groups-to-a-list

So you may have a List called ‘k9nosetime’

Within that list you have 10 groups, one for each of the classes you mentioned.

So something like this, create the list, then create groups – http://take.ms/rHv7z

Create individual groups – http://take.ms/1xS3a
(the setting for the reg form don’t apply to EE)

You’ll want better names for your groups so they know which classes they relate to, but then within each event you select your list, and set the group that the user should be assigned to – http://take.ms/xMXQ7O

As your users register onto the class they will be subscribed onto the list, then added to a group in the list.

If they have already been subscribed to one group and register onto another event they will be added to that group.

It means you have a single list to send campaigns to but select the group(s) in which to send the campaign to within MailChimp.

Within each idividual event you select the
