I have a question about the option in the MailChimp module to automatically opt-in all customers.
Here's what the module's configuration documentation says:
I had this option enabled, but what I was seeing in my MailChimp account was that customers who purchased items and were added to the list were tagged as "This person is only eligible for transactional emails." Then I turned that option off to see what would happen. Customers who made purchases also got added to my MailChimp list and were tagged as "This person is only eligible for transactional emails." So on the MailChimp side, it doesn't appear like this option does anything.
I've tried manually uploading customer information to MailChimp to update list records, but the record in MailChimp does not change. The person remains tagged as eligible for transactional emails only.
Can someone explain how this option is working and how it would be possible to add or update someone who makes a purchase to the MailChimp list so they receive more than just transactional emails?
Here's what the module's configuration documentation says:
Automatically Opt-In All Customers - With this selected any customer who purchases from your store will automatically be added into your MailChimp mailing list. Important: If you enable this setting, be sure your website policies clearly states that all customers will automatically be added to your mailing list to avoid breaking any anti-spam laws.
