Has anyone used MailChimp's import from URL feature to suck their campaign content from their drupal site. The main limitation seems to be that one has to use tables for layout, which is not what most themes use.

Any tips would be appreciated.

I created a specific newsletter content type and then used a combination of views and context to build the layout. This gave me the online version of the newsletter that is integrated with the web site. However, I needed a parallel version that was HTML mail friendly. So, I used the print module to generate an alternate version of each newsletter node and then I theme the various template files for the newsletter content type and blocks so that they are mail-chimp friendly.

Did you find a way to make this work?

I'd like to create a weekly MailChimp campaign that accesses a view of current 'Outdoor Trips' with dates for that week or two. Drupal 6 Mailchimp module doesn't seem to be able to create campaigns, and I'm not sure if I can setup the Mailchimp itself to access the website each week, automatically, to get the current-to-date view.

We regularly create web pages (with text, images and tables) on our Drupal site that we'd like to be automatically pulled into MailChimp as a draft campaign. Does anyone know if that type of integration works or if the import from URL feature works effectively?

I second this. This would be very helpful.
So we can have the great flexibility of Drupal and Views to build a page, and build the newsletter programmatically from that page.

Also, that page is a way to store the past newsletters conveniently on the site, and to see the newsletter from the browser after placing a link inside the email ("See this in your browser"..)
