Mailchimp integration?

    I am using your great Strong Testimonials on several sites.
    I’m also using Mailchimp for WordPress on several of those sites.
    …Since those contributing testimonials leave their emails, it would be nice if one could have a checkbox in the submission form that is integrated with Mailchimp for WP.

    This is maybe too specialized to be considered a proper feature request, but any hints for how to get started would be greatly appreciated. I’ve made several custom ST “views” templates in the child theme folder before, and I guess that is necessary here as well.

    It’s a great idea. Your timing is good. I am actually working on a generic checkbox field type right now for a simple “agree to terms” option so that can be used for newsletter subscription too. That will be ready early next week.

    As with the form Captcha, integration with another plugin mostly depends on that plugin having the necessary hooks and filters. I don’t want to build yet another Mailchimp plugin. I will dig into Mailchimp for WordPress and let you know if it’s feasible.

    You could certainly add the checkbox HTML to a view template but, in an example of the pot calling the kettle black, my plugin doesn’t offer any hooks or filters on form data or when a testimonial is added. I will rectify that!

    Hey Chris, MailChimp for WordPress author here. I’d love to be of help here.

    We have an API in place to make it easy to manage various integrations with other plugins, basically all we need is an action hook to output the checkbox label and another to process the submitted form. Do you have any pointers for that?

    With those two actions, I can do the work on the actual integration where Strong Testimonials shows up as an available integration on the **MailChimp for WP > Integrations** page.

    Let me know please.

    Thanks Danny. I greatly appreciate the help. I will start an issue on GitHub.
