Mailchimp & Gravity Forms: Segmenting Your List

Using Gravity Forms with Mailchimp simplifies the process of adding Opt In forms to your website.  However, the ability to add subscribers to a list using the Groups functionality is not implemented in Gravity Forms (as of version 1.5 of the Gravity Forms Mailchimp add-on, there are plans to implement this).

The main benefit of Groups in Mailchimp is the ability to segment your list so you can target messages to particular subscribers.  This allows a site owner to use just one mailing list – which ensures that subscribers don’t receive the same message several times (which can happen if you use multiple lists).

This series of videos demonstrates how you can ‘tag’ a subscriber in your Mailchimp list using Gravity Forms – without using the ‘Groups’ functionality.
