How about integrating all new or already registered forum members' email into an email list service provider such as MailChimp or Awebber so that I can have autoresponders scheduled for a chronology of emails such as welcome, forum tutorials, tips etc

I am pretty sure there are WP plugins that can do this for you. I would take a look.

Hi Guys,

 

Perhaps I am not expressing myself well - my blog http://www.SingularityWeblog.com already has at least 2 MailChimp opt in forms, which are used when people want to subscribe to the blog articles.

 

However, what I am trying to do is start a second list with people who will eventually register for the forum, after I launch it. Some of those may be already registered for the blog but some will undoubtedly be new. I want to have the ability to connect the Simple:Press registration with an email services such as MailChimp and, thus, start building a forum only list. Therefore, the currently available MailChimp WP plugins will be useless for those purposes.

 

In other words, I don't need to integrate MailChimp with WP but integrate MailChimp with Simple:Press!

 

Any suggestions?

But there is no difference. Registerting for SP IS registering on WP. They are the same thing.

Hm, OK that is showing my personal ignorance here but the issue still remains.

So say someone is registering for my Simple:Press Forum i.e. my WordPress. Then, how do I automate their placing on my MailChimp list?

It seems it still will be different than just merely posting an opt-in form in the side bar which is connected directly to MailChimp?

As I have no idea of how MailChimp works I am unable to answer that – and it really might be better to ask the question if the MailChimp authors. However, I am betting there are plugin available that do monitor the WP registration process.

Well, so far this is the best that I have found:

Let me know if you think it will work or you expect any problems with that plugin and Simple:Press...

Thanks!
