I've had my eye on the thread(s) discussing some of the initial problems with the new Mail Chimp integration. I'm wondering if the bugs have all been squashed at this time?
I currently have my email list on a different service, but my intention is to switch to Mail Chimp once things are running smoothly with the new Miva MailChimp module. My biggest concern is that I do not want my current subscribers to be changed to a status of "This person is only eligible for transactional emails" as I saw happened to someone else on another thread. (https://www.miva.com/forums/forum/on...-all-customers)
I am starting with a blank slate on Mail Chimp, so I can do any steps in any order.. just wanting to make sure I use this situation to my advantage, and don't cause problems by doing things out of their suggested order..
What would be the best order to do things, and are there any particular settings that should be in place to make this transition happen correctly?
1 - Is it best to FIRST import my subscribers to Mail Chimp from my old email service before setting up the Miva Integration?
Or should I set up the Miva Integration with my MailChimp account first and then import the subscribers from my old service?
2 - Should I have different list segments created ahead of time... would it be beneficial to have a segment for my existing list subscribers and another segment for customers pushed in from Miva?
3 - Do I need to have any particular settings in place so that existing subscribers will not be changed/effected if those same subscriber email addresses are in my Miva customer list as well?
OR, are there still some unresolved issues that would perhaps make it a better option to wait until the next Miva update before switching to Mail Chimp?
Thanks in advance for any insights.
