Hi @natewolf7,
Managing email is a pain so we don’t officially support emails with the plugin. However, you’re not the first person to ask this and we do have a code snippet that you can add to your site that will send emails after users have subscribed.
This is the code snippet. Replace [email protected] with your email. Are you familiar with adding custom PHP code to your site? Let me know.
add_action( 'yikes-mailchimp-form-submission', 'yikes_send_email_after_submission', 10, 4 );
function yikes_send_email_after_submission( $email, $merge_variables, $form_id, $notifications ) {
$interface = yikes_easy_mailchimp_extender_get_form_interface();
$form_data = $interface->get_form( $form_id );
$form_name = $form_data['form_name'];
$content = '<p>MailChimp Submission for Form: ' . $form_name . '</p>';
$content .= '<p>A user with the email ' . $email . ' has attempted to subscribe to your MailChimp list.</p>';
$content .= '<p>Here is their information: </p><br>';
foreach ( $merge_variables as $merge_tag => $merge_value ) {
$content .= '<p>' . $merge_tag . ': ' . ( is_array( $merge_value ) ? implode( ', ', $merge_value ) : $merge_value ) . '</p>';
}
$admin_email = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'New MailChimp Submission for Form: ' . $form_name;
$headers = array( 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8' );
wp_mail( $admin_email, $subject, $content, $headers );
}
Again, we don’t officially support email and we can’t troubleshoot email problems.
Cheers,
Kevin.
Hey Kevin thanks so much for the support! I am sure I could figure it out with some research, but wondering if you might already have some guidance or instructions that I could follow. Thank you again so much, this plugin is awesome!
Hey @natewolf7,
You should add custom PHP code to your child theme’s functions.php file. If you’re not using a child theme, then you can either add the code to your theme’s functions.php file or by using a plugin like My Custom Functions.
If you’re not familiar with editing your theme’s files, then I would suggest you use the plugin. It has some security measures in place so you don’t make a mistake copying the code.
Cheers,
Kevin.
That works thanks so much Kevin this is a huge help to my new business 🙂
