Hi

I have a couple of existing groups in Mailchimp that I would like to sync contacts to. Currently all the data goes into one big list and the default MAGE_CUSTOMER_GROUP defaults to 'General'.

In the data brought across is a Store ID - and this is the field I want to use to segment the contacts into a group called LOCATION. How do I set this up in Magento through the ebizmart plugin?

Do I need to amend the default customer group (General, Retailer, Wholesaler) or can I use information that is already in the contact information?

Thanks

Matt

So I have had a look through more of the forum posts and it looks like the lists that exist on the Mailchimp side should appear somewhere in the admin panel for MageMonkey. I cant see them anywhere - do I need to enable it somewhere?

Hi Matt,

Yes the list should appear in System -> Configuration under the tab Customer -> MailChimp
The list it's in General Subscription, after save you should see all the groups you have in your list.
By the way you can delete the MAGE_CUSTOMER_GROUP from MailChimp and in order you dont see it anymore you should do the following:

Edit this class.
File: app/code/community/Ebizmarts/MageMonkey/Model/Observer.php

Comment all the code between:

Line 242: /**
* Customer Group - Interest Grouping
*/

And

Line 296: /**
* Customer Group - Interest Grouping
*/

Let me know if you need more help.

Kindest regards
