I want my Mailchimp Integration to respond to a manual memlevel change

[swisspenelope]

Hi

My membership site works like this:

Anyone can sign up online. When they sign up, they get a membership level of Pending, which is associated with no MC list. Only the level called Member is associated with an MC list.

If the pending member does not comply with certain obligations, after 2 weeks they become Expired – no harm done.

If they do comply, the membership secretary sets that person to Member in the SWPM dashboard, changing Pending to Member. THIS is the point at which the new person should be allowed access to the regular Club Newsletter (which is sent to a MC list of Members only).

It looks like the plugin does not work that at present. Can you envisage make this kind of feature possible?

Many thanks and regards,
SP

Mailchimp list signup doesn’t work based on the account status at this stage. What you can do is use an additional level to achieve what you are after. When you are manually setting their level to “active”, also change their membership level to a NEW level. You can create as many levels as you want to so you can create a new level with the same permission but when someone is in this level, you know that they have gotten the manual approval.

Changing the membership level to the new level will trigger the Mailchimp signup for that level (if you have specified it for this other level).

Brilliant – why didn’t I think of that?

Thanks very much!
