Hi!

I have a client considering a switch from iContact to MailChimp because iContact (which is integrated with SalesForce) is getting screened out in gmail as spam. I read back a few pages, was unable to find answers I was looking for regarding this mod.

Is the main function of this API to provide a way for subscribers to automagically be added to MailChimp? Aside from adding/removing subscribers via your website, is there any other functionality?

For instance, one problem my client encounters is dirty code. They do a monthly newsletter, send it out, and put a copy on their site for visitors. Currently, they design the newsletter in iContact, export the html, and import it onto a page on their site. But the iContact code is littered with stuff that they want in emails (for tracking, etc) but not on their website.

Does this mod integrate design of the email campaign or provide some simple way to get ZC friendly html? Or is design still done via a gui on MailChimp?

I am currently planning to advise them to switch to MC and use this mod, regardless. But I'm looking for a simple solution to the code problems. It would be cool if that was already built into this mod.

Current thought (sorry, a bit off the subject of your mod with this):
1. Upload all images/articles to site.
2. Have their inhouse designer create Newsletter in Dreamweaver (referencing images/links to their server URL).
3. Import Newsletter html into site page.
4. Import Newsletter html into MailChimp (MC will automatically add tracking and other code, correct?).
5. Test, then send out the bulk email.

Does that system sound good or is there a flaw I'm missing?

Thanks,
Mike
