Automate sending Wordpress posts to specific MailChimp email groups
I am currently using MailChimp to send Wordpress posts to Groups using RSS based on the category of the post like this:
*|INTERESTED:Areas of Interest:Ski Vactions|*
*|FEEDBLOCK:http://mysite.com/category/ski-vacations/feed/|*
*|FEEDITEMS:[$count=5]|*
*|FEED:TITLE|*
*|FEEDITEM:CONTENT|*
*|END:FEEDITEMS|*
*|END:FEEDBLOCK|*
*|END:INTERESTED|
This is great when the user only has one interest, but when multiple different interests are selected we may land up sending 2-10 emails per week... too many.
We are building a list of user interests which the user can self-select when they sign up for our newsletter, or we edit by hand as we get to know them.
The newsletter content will be generated by a group of people blogging. I want to make sure that if a user selects multiple categories, that they only receive one email per week with posts from those categories.
Perhaps MailChimp is not the best solution for this?
