This was not too much trouble to implement and enables a lot more flexibilty in creating dynamic content for campaigns. +1 to have this committed.

I have not tested it but +1000 for using views to create emails automatically!

The patch did not work for me.

However, I did find this workaround:

  1. Create a block display for your view
  2. Using "Full HTML" text format in the Mailchimp campaign, insert the block with [block:views=block_delta] (the block delta should consist of view_machine_name-display_id (keep the hyphen), but can also be found in the path for configuring the block.

So, is there a possibility to add views or not?

Since the 7.x-2.x-dev is no longer available, I took a stab at re-rolling the patch for 7.x-3.x-dev. I can't get it to work, but maybe someone can use this as a starting point for a working patch.

FWIW, I wholeheartedly agree that this would be an incredibly useful feature.

Thank you for your work on this. Unfortunately we're going to be ending support for the 7.x-3.x branch due to the upcoming deprecation of the v2.0 MailChimp API. If you're still interested in this feature, please feel free to reopen for the 7.x-4.x branch.
